Finals

First up was the Mardave final which developed into a fantastic race between Mike Simpson, Paul Galbraith and Jordan Galbraith who were evenly matched with the lead changing hands several times during the eight minute race. Jordan looked to have the race in the bag but Mike Simpson and Paul Galbraith got past him in the last thirty seconds to finish first and second respectively, all three with 45 laps. Good race!

In the GT12 C final Selina Woods extended her lead in division 3 with another maximum points, her nearest challenger was Alister Hart who finished in second place, Alwyn Hodges was third.

Some excellent racing in the B final with pole position driver Nick Bruty being chased by an “in form” Bob Harley, Nick was the eventual winner with Bob a lap down. Behind these two Scott Lewis and Rob Hambridge had a superb battle with Rob snatching third place right near the end of the race.

James Hart won the A final with some exceptional driving, setting the fastest lap time of the evening. Another great performance from Louis Parker assured him of second place with Darren Ford finishing third just ahead of Gavin Maciver. A great finish to the evening.

Nick Bruty and Selina Woods retain their unbeaten records for all three rounds of the league.
