Finals

Eight minute finals again this week.

Mardave Class

Alex Barry was the winner of the “B” final with 37 laps, Courtney Orme took second place on 35 and Roy Matthews third with 33 laps.

The “A” final was a great race, Richard Parker took the lead from pole position on the grid and went on to win despite a great challenge from Lee Bishop who finished 1.65 seconds behind, both drivers on 44 laps.  Paul Galbraith also had a good race to finish in third place just one lap down.

GT12 Class

The “B” final was an excellent race, Louis Parker took the lead after getting past the pole position driver Bob Harley and with some very tidy driving went on to win with 46 laps, Bob was second with 45 laps and Daniel Williams third on 44.

The “A” or perhaps more aptly named this week the “Dave” final saw the fastest four drivers of the evening battle over eight minutes of very quick lap times. David Statham was leading when a loose wheel nut forced a pit stop, David Simpson took advantage and after overtaking Dave Tomlinson went on to win the race on 48 laps.  Dave Tomlinson took second spot on 47 laps with Dave Tomlinson Jnr third. A super race but a commentators nightmare – a Dave was bound to win.
