Raceweekend 12.... nothing witty here!

So yet another meeting comes along....and a return to midlands action...

GORDON SHINES ON SALOON BRITISH NIGHT

A season's best of 22 cars, with the added high octane spark flying Saloons contesting their British title, second only to the world as titles go for them. Robbie Dawson (854) took heat 1 adding to his Crimond wins. Gordon Moodie (7) took his obligatory heat win and then followed it up with a final win. He had to catch the blue graded Wee Dennis and also had GeoMac tracking him. That was the way it finished. Middler took the national.


WILLIAMSON WINS AT WHEELS

The man with a playlist of obscure incidental music from 80's television shows, and Voice of Incarace, Deadly Dave Goddard reports in....
"There was a near 40-car entry in F2 land at Birmingham on May 17th with former BTCC man Aaron Williamson passing Paul Bailey and Keith Walding to take the first heat with Bailey then sent into the banking by Richard Bowyer. Matt Brewer set the early pace in heat two but Adam Rubery made rapid progress from the front of the reds and the local man took the spoils, the consolation seeing Walding lead for most of the way before Bailey took over with four to run for his first victory in a couple of seasons. The veteran also led the Final along with Julian Coombes but it was Williamson who took over to score his double and book a move up to blue grade, the GN halted for the crashed James Muckian before Walding again led most of the way, this time however the duo of superstars were on the pace and it was Mike Green who took over for victory. The shine however was taken off the night when blue tops Sy Harraway and Nathan Maidment chose to stage their own private demolition derby after the race for reasons best known to themselves."

MOODIE BEASTS BARFORD

Our Barford bloke and part time member of Wham to the partially deaf, Andrew Hingley was there...
"Well, 13 cars today and another clean sweep of the heats and final by Moodie. He was teasing 301 in the final for a few laps by staying behind him. Up to 5th in the GN too, which 301 won. I hope numbers improve for the next meeting, we could do with a few more to give Moodie a bit more of a challenge"

FORD POWERS ITS WAY TO STOKE WIN

With all the talk over what will be best Ford to be the best for the moment, not Zetec, Duratech or Pinto. At Stoke, at the qualifying round, the Ford you needed was a Martin (19). From the racing dynasty, Ford took a fine heat and final double at a very dusty meeting. Shale form man Barry Goldin (401) took heat 2, and Stewie Griffin (866) took the consolation. Ford took the final and the qualifier with it. Another Martin, Chadwick (757) took the GN.

POINTS OF ORDER

Well not a lot this time... usual moan about fixtures but it is pleasent to see Incarace caving into pressure from the more experienced promoters about the final being the feature race. Made the evenings racing a bit better, however, 8, 8 and 12? Why not 3 x 10??

Whitsun Weekend folks, see you about with ya wanger out!
