The
size of the Sporterks Recoils were ideally suited
to this well designed club track which offered
plenty of grip on the standard recoil rubber tyres
which meant that no additive was required for a
good balance and close racing.Sportwerks local
driver Dave Ringsell proved age and failing sight
was'nt an issue as he stormed round with his car
to set the fastest time in each round at what is
his local track. It was not as clear cur as it
sounds as he was chased hard in every round by
Selections models driver Matt Curtis and Sportswerks
driver Keith Helmke who spent every round chasing
Dave and competing with each other for second spot
which Matt finally managed to annex at the very
end of round three. Chas Chadwick and Andy Boldison
shared a car in qualifying and grabbed the forth
spot just ahead of local driver Chris Hampson who
also did a great job running the computer and racing
to his normal high standards that drivers have
come to expect from this good club
.
The biggest problem was telling who's car was who's
as all the Sportwerks Recoils had standard bodies
which is either black or blue, leading to some interesting
first corners ! and that was not just from the bruises,
The three A final legs went the way of qualifing
with Dave Rinsell stamping his authority on the event
by leading all the way, the main change from qualifing
was with Keith Helmke taking two 2nd place finishes
in the finals to push Matt Curtis down into third
spot.
Thanks to all at the members
of the Leighton Buzzard club and Selections Racing
along with Sundon models for there support. |
