Sadly Ross, Gary, Jamie, Aaron, Bill, Hooligan and Divvy failed to register any laps, either through not making it to the track, or too busy on the back straight wrecking to run under the bridge! Ian completed just 2 laps to finish in 8th place and 3 laps for Dave placed him 7th. Barry finished with 16 laps in 6th place, and Midge surprisingly completed 17 laps to finish in 5th place, despite his constant wrecking spree on who ever happen to be leading the race! Daniel managed 20 laps and finished in 4th place, with Simon completing 25 laps to take 3rd place. Having lead the race for a while, then suffered at the hand of Midge's wrecking, Konnor did well to finish in 2nd place with 35 laps, but managing to complete the full 45 laps and taking the chequered flag was Kerry, despite extensive damage, again at the hands of Midge! Well done Kerry, you kept your cool and raced really well.
A FINAL
19 James "Tubbs" Donovan, 58 Darren "Ginge" Howard, 68 Jade "Essex Bling" Mason, 71 Dylan Ellis, 77 Josh Mackey, 116 Ian Davies, 117 Darren Bodle, 177 Scott "Brick" Chopping, 186 Tom O'Sullivan, 203 Jack Booker, 228 Karl Dilworth, 233 Dave "Big Dave" Nash, 252 Dean Conyard, 310 Matthew "Grinner" Davidson, 401 Craig Watson, 406 Brad Dilworth, 410 Alvin Harvey, 479 Jay barnes, 515 Conor Harvey, 515 Brad Allkins, 516 Nikki Allkins, 551 Michael Collins, 590 Mickey Galloway, 710 Billy Harvey, 713 Carl Strange, 778 Adrian "Slimadey" Porter, and 974 Danny Bodle.
As always the A Final was a crashtastic affair with a great mix of wrecking and racing. Mickey completed just 2 laps to finish 27th, with Ginge finishing 26th with 5 laps. Alvin came home in 25th place, having managed 6 laps. Brick and Slimadey finished on splits, with Slimadey taking 24th place and Brick 23rd place, both finishing with 9 laps. Darren came home in 22nd place with 10 laps, Conor finished with 13 laps in 21st place, and Nikki managed 14 laps to take 20th place. Tom completed 15 laps to finish in 19th place, Danny finished in 18th place with 16 laps, and Jade came home in 17th place with 17 laps. Completing 18 laps, Jay came home in 16th place, with Ian completing 20 laps to take 15th place. Coming home in 14th place with 22 laps was Tubbs, and Dean completed 24 laps to take 13th place. Grinner came home in 12th place with 25 laps, and just one lap ahead was Carl, taking 11th place. With 27 laps, Brad Allkins finished in 10th place, and Big Dave finished in 9th place with 29 laps on splits with Billy, who finished 8th. Michael comes home in 7th place with 31 laps, and Craig finished 6th with 34 laps. Dylan completed 35 laps to take 5th place, Jack finished 4th with 36 laps, and Josh took 3rd place with 43 laps. But the main battle was at the front of the field, and sibling rivalry ruled as brother Karl and Brad Dilworth fought each other for the win. Keeping it close, they both crossed the finish line with 45 laps, with Brad having to settle for 2nd place as Karl took the chequered flag. I won't repeat his comment to his brother on finding out the result (children read this), suffice to say, he was very pleased to have beaten him! Congratulations, Karl, a great battle to victory, and well deserved.
