There was some terrific racing in the heats today, well done everyone! Congratulations to Team Yellow (58 Darren Howard, 59 Caitlyn Howard and 158 Brandon Turner) on winning the points today, and with only 3 drivers instead of 4, that wasn't easy!
With Team Chelmsford (205 Koonta, 183 Shaye Hunter, 403 Daniel Jordan, 555 Dan Morgan) otherwise engaged today, the remaining teams took the opportunity to narrow the gap, not least, The Krankies (662 Midge, 371 Sean Foley, 233 Dave Nash, 203 Jack Booker, 383 Divvy), who were currently sitting in 2nd place in the overall points.
Currently in 3rd place Team Cheeseburger (577 Alfie Lee, 71 Dylan Ellis, 57 Josh Rabey, 59 Tom Greenstreet, 196 Josh Johnson) had their work cut out as they ran today with just two drivers, 577 Alfie and 71 Dylan, who both raced well and collected as many points as they possible could.
The Cream Team (645 Paul Weedon, 546 Kerry Goldstone, 414 Marc Zanders, 19 Tubs Donovan, 929 John Donovan) knew they had a chance of making it to the final if they worked hard, only Team Cheeseburger stood in their way, and as they were fielding a full time, all looked good for them, but in the end, it came down to the final round for the decision to be made!
Team No Clue (17 Tracy Donovan, 29 Stitch Donovan, 38 Nige Palmer, 53 Harry Palmer, 331 Dinky Donovan) fared well and picked up a fair few points.
Newly formed Team Trouble (69 Danni Edwards, 661 Martin Ashworth, 95 Les Saunders, 501 Billy Saunders) pushed hard and raced well, collecting a total of 22 points this evening.
Team Cheeseburger B (195 Pete Bowley, 464 Billy Roworth, 375 Taylor-Jay Liles, 6 Alfie Jones) also ran today with just two drivers, 375 Taylor-Jay and 595 L J Saunders, and hats off to these two, they raced their little socks off!
Team UPS (305 George Flack, 212 Alan Flack, 898 Alex Teece, 258 Dave Lungley, 303 James Nolan) fielded a full team and enjoyed a fair amount of wrecking this afternoon!
