A quick report on this race held on 25 July.
Firstly a field of 14 racers turned up raring to go - a welcome improvement on the recent events where less than a full field have entered.
- L - R :- Callum and Rob get some practice in while Ivan L and Joshua disuss something.

1st Semi
The 1st Semi got under way and I am pleased to say that I lead it from start to finish
. James and Gregg battled throughout for 2nd and 3rd with Gregg taking the spot by 1.7 seconds with Troy taking the last move-up 1 lap behind. Young Joshua drove well to take out 5th with Rob and Bill battling it out at the rear. Its great to see these newer racers driving well as more experiance is gained - this was both Rob and Joshua's 2nd or third race I believe and it was Bill's first for many a year - Bill constructed a really tidy build of a Warmack Kit for his first outing.
The Placings were:-
1 Mark Fox 172
2 Gregg Treagle 168
3 James Colefax 168
4 Troy Boldy 167
5 Joshua Walder 146
6 Bill Wall 139

The 2nd Semi saw a problem on one of the lanes which meant that some averaging and adjustments had to be made - after doing this Wayne Bramble decided to pull out even though he had clearly won the semi to allow Dale Anderson to claim the last move-up. This was a very sporting move as Wayne was looking forward to doing battle - his car was very quick and the times he did in his heat clearly showed that he would have been a force to contend with.
The Placings were:-
1 Wayne Bramble 162
2 Ivan Wearne 159
