Track
A tight and twisty track design this week

Qualifying
Louis Parker was in great form winning all three qualifying rounds to take pole position in the A final with 30 laps, it was close for second and third places with Gavin Maciver just having the edge over Chelle Snowden, both drivers a lap down on Louis just 3 seconds apart.
There were four drivers on 27 laps, the quickest being division 2 driver Nick Wallace followed by Bob Harley.
Courtney Orme headed division 3 with 20 laps, Alwyn Hodges and Mark Perkin both scoring 17.
Some exciting racing in the mardave class with “Team Galbraith” trying to get the top three qualifying positions, Paul Galbraith was fastest and took pole in the final but Mike Simpson managed second place to spoil the plan with Jordan and Joshua Galbraith third and fourth. New member Wes Wray made a good start by beating his son Jensen, I am sure there will be plenty of rivalry in the coming months to see who is the top driver in the family each week.

Finals

Paul Galbraith led the field away from pole position and a close battle soon developed with Mike Simpson, Jordan and Joshua Galbraith for the lead. With a testing track design there were minor errors from all drivers. Paul was in front but Mike eventually went ahead and with a clear track managed to pull out a slight lead. It was a race to line with Jordan Galbraith going quickly and overtaking his dad Paul to finish second, Paul being third and Joshua fourth. A great race!
David Simpson found himself on pole in the GT12 C final after breaking down in the qualifying rounds, things did not get any better in the final when the “wheels come off” – just one actually after only one lap. This left the way clear for Courtney Orme to get yet another win, putting him in a strong position to defend his division 3 title. Alwyn Hodges and Mark Perkin were closely matched with Mark just taking second place a few seconds ahead of Alwyn.
The B Final saw a fine race for the lead between Dave Tomlinson and Bob Harley, Dave was first just ahead of Bob with Scott Lewis finishing third.
Some very quick lap times in the A Final with Louis Parker, Gavin Maciver and Chelle Snowden all driving exceptionally well. Louis was the winner with Gavin seeming to have got second place in the bag until Chelle overtook him near the end of the race to take a well deserved second place – well done Chelle!
Just three more rounds left to go in the league, most divisions are very close, it looks like some of the results will be decided in the final round so the pressure will be on to score as many points as possible.
