SCHOOL'S OUT - LET'S HAVE A FUN NIGHT!
​
With Thursday evenings usually reserved for practice, being as this week was the half-term holidays, Divvy decided to lay on a fun night, as has now become the custom here at Brentwood. The fun of this is you can use as many shells as you wish, whatever shells you wish, and have plenty of fun with them all! No separate Junior racing tonight, all bangers were out together, split into 2 heats of 16 each.
BANGERS

​
The DD was the usual mix of wrecking and carnage, with two young juniors, 53 Harry Palmer and 716 Nicola Want, left running along side 383 Divvy. When Divvy's batteries gave up the ghost, it was left to the 2 juniors to battle it out, and an almighty head on killing both cars, a draw was declared! Well done Harry and Nicola, great action!
Just a few pics posted from tonight's meeting, thanks guys!

Many thanks to all who came tonight, glad to see you all had fun! See you all again in two days time for the metal madness that is Ally Bangers!
