Results.

After careful assembly and some titivation of the 8 lane BSCRA Monster track, we had time for a little free practice on Friday night, before action started for the day early on Saturday morning, the total entry was over 40.

 

Amongst those racing was a strong contingent from the Czech republic and Slovakia, including the World #2, Antonin Vojtik. Current world Champion Brian Saunders and 2009 World Grand Prix Champion James Cleave were also competing. For top-level racers this meeting was a chance to shake down equipment in race trim for this year's world championship in Chicago in October.

 

Production Saloon (Sat 28 Sept)

Heat winners in order were: Pete Clarkson E final, 214.40, D final Andrew Ainsley, D, 239.25, Keith Gibson C 237.76 (slower than Andrew), Graeme Stevenson B, 263.02.

In the final we had a real head-to-head race between Antonin Vojtik and James Cleave with yesterday's winner Brian Saunders having a few problems along the way. James led for the first few segments but was gradually hauled in by Antonin before they spend segments six and seven side by side. James slacked off a bit and Antonin ran out a clear winner by four laps. Graeme was second from the B final, James third and Brian fourth.
