40 F2 were present for what turned out to be a pleasant little trip, including visitors from far and wide, including Jay Tomkins (290) who certainly is getting the best out of his new Shale shifting Motorworld, and new returnee Cumbrian Pete McCallum (187).
So on to the racing, and taking full benefit of his blue roof and taking full advantage of the 4 day rule before the "instant" grade change he earnt at Stoke was Daz Shaw (377). He romped home in Heat 1, took the third heat as well, as a 2 out of 3 format was deployed. Oliver Iles (997) took heat 2, in what was seen by the untrained eye as a mistaken identity as many casual pundits gave the win to Dave Massey ... who finished 4th in the 977 car....
The final was as ever a lively affair, and the winner, if a Stoxnet refugee turned up and heard the result that Lund had won the final, then the excitement would have caused many a premature underpant impregnation. However it wasn't the infamous farmer John, or even the "other" John Lund but his boy Michael (995) with another impressive display and final win at Belle Vue. Barry Goldin (401) continued his rich vein of shale form this year with 2nd place, and Matt Sayer (398) capping of a good evening with 3rd in the final.
Now I could use a pun that Daz cleaned up in the Grand National, but I shall not...
So, this midweek event certainly has had a knock on effect on the old points chart. Gonna be a busy weekend fending of "am I <insert grade here>" questions.....
