Next up was the “B” final or should it be called the “Bob” final this week with Bob Harley, Bob Harris and Bob Budge all racing, whatever we were not to be short changed for excitement.
Bob Harris starting from pole made a good start had a great drive to win and be “Top Bob” of the week, Mike Simpson was second and Bob Harley third also setting the quickest lap in the race.

The A Final was one of the best races this year with Chelle Snowden taking the lead from pole position, after the first lap car 2 Richard Norris was second, Car 4 Justin Heath had moved up into third, his car looking very quick, car 5 Kayleigh Knight was fourth and car 3 Karl Norris had dropped down into last position.

Karl soon made his way up into fourth place and on lap 5 there was a change of lead when Richard got ahead of Chelle. All cars were racing wheel to wheel at a very fast pace and on lap 14 Karl moved into third place ahead of Justin with Richard still leading and Chelle in second place.

Into the last third of the race now with everyone watching to see what would happen, the race order changed again on lap 24 when Karl moved up into second place, Chelle dropping down to third.

Into the last 30 seconds of the race on lap 31 with yet another change of order, this time Karl took the lead , Chelle moved up into second and Richard dropped back to third, the order remained unchanged for the remainder of the race with all the top four drivers finishing on 36 laps.

A thrilling race to watch with a very high standard of driving – well done drivers it does not get much better than this.

A win for Karl, Chelle in second place just 0.34sec adrift, Richard Norris third, Justin Heath fourth and setting the fastest lap, Kayleigh Knight was fifth.

The LMP12 final had to be good to follow the previous race, Ashley King was again the “King” of the track with a superb win, Peter Stockton finished in second place just over two seconds ahead of Steve Donald in third. Another great race!

A fantastic evenings racing, can next week be even better?????

Justin Heath wins the GT12 A Final and Steve Donald the LMP12 Final.
As usual the racing in all the heats and finals was very close and competitive.

Chris Davis was the winner of the GT12 C Final closely followed by visiting driver Dan Williams in second place and Bob Budge third, all five drivers had a good race, well done Kaelin Thompson and Freddie Parker!

Nick Wallace made a great start in the B Final from third place on the grid to move into the lead on the first corner, with all drivers lapping at very similar times things were very close. A third of the way through the race Mike Simpson moved into the lead and went on to win. Nick was second with Adam Hancock finishing strongly in third place just 0.67 seconds adrift and setting the quickest lap in the race.

Justin Heath led the drivers away from pole position in the A Final with Simon Pole, Richard Norris and Darren Ford trying to chase him down. Excellent driving by these four produced a superb race, Justin set the fastest lap, the others could not catch him and he went on to take a great victory. Simon was second, Darren third and Richard fourth with 2/10th second between them- what a race to watch.
A great drive Justin!

The last race was the LMP12 Final with Ashley King starting from pole position the scene was set for another epic battle with Steve Donald who was second on the grid. We were not to be disappointed, the pace was very quick with Ashley setting the fastest lap just 2/100th second quicker than Steve. However after some great racing it was Steve who was first to the finishing line with Ashley second and Fred Hatfield third.
Well done Steve – can he repeat the result next week????

Next week is round five of the Summer League
