The start of a new league on a narrow track due to the christmas decorations in the hall.

Darren Ford and James Hart battled it out all three qualifying rounds with some very close racing, overtaking being difficult on the small track. Darren withstood some severe pressure from James to take the pole position for the final, David Statham was third and Louis Parker fourth.
In the eight minute final it was a similar story with Darren winning once again, James was second and a good drive from Louis Parker secured him third place.

In division 2 Dave Tomlinson was the top qualifier followed by Bob Harley with Nick Bruty third. In the final however Dave’s car failed on the first bend and Bob Harley also had to retire after 23 laps. A fine race by Chelle Snowden took advantage of the situation to win with Mitch Howard second and Nick Bruty third.

Rob Hambridge after even more adjustments to his car was top qualifier and best division 3 driver in the finals to get maximum points, Jack Cook was second and Courtney Orme third.

In the club mardave class Glyn Butlin was the fastest driver in qualifying with Mike Simpson and Paul Galbraith close behind only a few seconds separating the three of them. In the final Mike Simpson took an early lead and held on to it until the finish line, Paul Galbraith was second and Glyn Butlin third.
In division 2 Joshua Galbraith was fastest in qualifying, ahead of his brother Jake. It was Jenson Butlin however who came out on top in the final and Roy Matthews took second place with Joshua failing to record any laps.

A good start to the League, round 2 is next week, for all the details see the “results” page.
