Finals
Jordan got off to a flying start from pole position on the grid, however he had to make a pit stop on lap 2 to refit his transponder which cost him nearly 2 laps and allowed Paul to take the lead which he held to the end of the race with some excellent driving, holding off a challenge from Mike who finished second. Jordan recovered well with some incredibly fast laps to overhaul and pass his brother Joshua and take third place – well done Jordan.

David Snowden had a comfortable win in the GT12 C final being three laps ahead of second place driver Courtney Orme. Jamie Hall finished third with a fine drive on a tricky track design.

With the club Chairman and secretary both in the B final there was a bit of rivalry as to who would come out on top. It was Daniel Lacey who left everyone else standing with a superb drive to win, with Rob Hambridge finishing second two laps down and Mike Simpson third after a close race with Steve Donald. Advantage Chairman!

The GT12 A final was an exciting race with Gavin Maciver leading from start to finish and being pursued by David Simpson who finished second with a best lap just 0.1sec slower than Gavin.

Finals
The first final was the Mardave class and it was agreed for a change (or was it to make it more difficult for Jordan) to have a reverse grid start with Jensen Wray taking pole position and Jordan Galbraith starting at the back of the grid. Well it only took Jordan two laps to overtake everyone and storm away to a tremendous win, lapping everyone in the field and setting the quickest lap time, being over half a second better than anyone else. Mike Simpson finished second, Paul Galbraith third and Roy Matthews fourth.
Can he repeat his performance next week with his brother Joshua also racing and be the top “Team Galbraith” driver in round 4 of the super league. He sounded very confident at the end of the evening and was heard to say “I am going to get Josh next week!”

In the GT12 C final pole position driver Connor Reeve had to leave early paving the way for Mike Simpson to win after a good race with Steve Donald who finished second ahead of Alwyn Hodges in third place.

Some exciting racing in the B final, pole position driver Daniel Lacey was in good form again but all to no avail as he forgot his transponder and did not record any laps – good job it was not a league week! Chelle Snowden won the race with the second best time overall in the finals – well done Chelle, Dave Tomlinson was second and Matt Popejoy third.

Gavin Maciver had yet another win the A final, Nick Wallace took a fine second place and Bob Harley was third.
