The second team relay of the year comprised of four 30 minute duration multi-leg finals with four teams taking part using team handout transponders.

Dan’s Dazzlers won a very close first leg with 128 laps, Bob’s Bashers were second on 127, Steve’s Wonders third with 126 and Chelle’s Gazelles last a further two laps down.

Things got even better for the Dazzlers in leg 2 where they recorded a second win being six laps clear of the rest of the field to take a commanding overall lead at the halfway stage of the event, the Wonders dropping down to last place.

The Bashers won leg 3 and with the Dazzlers finishing down in third place it meant their overall lead over the Bashers was reduced to just a single point with only the last leg to go. The Wonders were wondering what to do as another fourth place finish had left them no firmly rooted to last place.

So the winners would be decided on the final leg which was very competitive, a win for the Gazelles by just six seconds from the Bashers in second place, these two teams being six laps ahead of the Dazzlers in third place with the Wonders recording a hat trick of last places.

This resulted in the Dazzlers and Bashers being tied for the lead on eight points each meaning the tie break of total laps came into operation, Bob’s Bashers winning with 563 laps against Dan’s Dazzlers 557. An incredibly close result after two hours of track time. Chelle’s Gazelles were third with nine points and Steve’s Wonders fourth with 15.

Following the racing the winning team were presented with trophies by the club treasurer Steve Donald – so he did get his hands on a trophy if only briefly!

Congratulation to the winning captain Bob Harley together with his team Darren Ford, Courtney Orme and James Walker.

Thanks to all who took part including Chris Snowden on race control, a very enjoyable evening.
