Sports Championship Round 3 - 31st May 2007

Every so often, for no particular reason, everything goes right and we have a really good evening's racing. Last nights Sports Championship was one of those. 'Only' fourteen racers but no less than four personal bests!

Sports ( this is proper Sports for most part ! ), invariably causes plenty of upsets but the heats went more or less according to form with Ian B coming out ahead of Phil H who posted a PB on Blue. Malcolm was perhaps the surprise package by coming 3rd ahead of Ben. Did I hear rumours that he was running a new car??

Fourteen drivers meant 4 finals, and Simon T comfortably beat our new 'boy' Steve in the two man 'D'.

The'C' final promised a good scrap but Terry dropped out early and left Robin to come home with a PB and one of his best runs yet, ahead of Roland and Simon J, less than a couple of laps separating all three.

The 'B' was a mixed bag of 2 strap and 2 falcons but with Jody the Falcon specialist, anything could happen! As it was, the race was between old rivals, Graham H and Chris C with Graham getting past 50 for the first time in a while and Chris setting a nice, long overdue PB, a lap behind in second. The Falcon scrap went Jody's way beating Chris B with a remarkable 46.26 which is quicker than many can get straps around our track!

No real surprise in the 'A' Final with Ian B comfortably winning ahead of a very happy Malcolm finishing 2nd with a PB as well! Phil H finished 3rd ahead of Ben, who fell by the wayside and didn't really get going tonight.

Well done Malcolm, good result. How about posting a picture and some details on the new car (or should I stop listening to rumours ?)

Cheers,
Phil
