Qualifying

The start of a brand new league this week saw Gavin Maciver take the top spot in qualifying followed by Matt Popejoy who continued his great run of form after his second place in the A final last week. Chelle Snowden was in third place and Dave Tomlinson fourth.
It was good to see Darren Ford racing again after several months break and he put in a good performance to secure fifth place overall.
In division 3 it was another new member Daniel Lacey who was fastest ahead of Courtney Orme.

The V12 mardave class Mike Simpson who took first place very closely followed by Paul Galbraith on equal best lap times with Jordan Galbraith third and setting the fastest lap. Roy Matthews was also going well to take fourth position.

Finals
The mardave final was first where Mike Simpson made a terrible start from pole position on the grid, dropping down to last place, Paul Galbraith was quick to take advantage and took the lead. Mike fought his way back through the field and on lap 21 regained the lead, it was very close though with Paul fighting back until lap 26 when Joshua Galbraith overtook him and went on to take second place along with setting the fastest lap, Paul finishing third and Roy Matthews fourth.

In the GT12 C final it was a good battle between Courtney Orme and David Snowden who were evenly matched, it was Courtney who won the day, David was second and some very quick driving by McKensie Wallace earned him third place.

The GT12 B final was the most exciting race of the evening with Darren Ford, Bob Harley and Nick Wallace maintaining a very fast pace. Nick and Bob eventually pulled away a few seconds from Darren, Nick seemed to have the race won put a small error on the penultimate lap let Bob through to win a fine race, Nick was second and Darren third. Good stuff!

The last race of the evening was the GT12 A final where Gavin Maciver was on pole followed by Matt Popejoy, Chelle Snowden and Dave Tomlinson. Gavin drove superbly to take a comfortable win with Chelle and Dave fighting it out for second place, a close run finish with Chelle just over half a second ahead of Dave.

A good evenings racing.
