Driver's Briefing from Bob and Howard

Stock Touring Qualifying
The Stock class saw some close qualifying times with just over 2 seconds covering the top four fastest drivers.  Current Winter Series Stock champion Nick Bruty dominated qualifying once again, holding on to FTD throughout qualifying.  A good points score at this round could seal the championship for Nick...

John Davie with his new Tamiya TB Evo 3 was quick and secured 2nd on the grid in round 2 of qualifying.

Adi Wright qualified 3rd with Tim Hastie and Howard Harrison completing the top 5.

It was good to see lots of new drivers racing in the Stock class, many of whom are achieving much better lap times than their first race at the Beginners Fun Day held last December.  Keep up the good work lads.

Some running repairs kept Gary Smith (pictured left) racing for the rest of the day following an unfortunate crash with another car.  Gary's Schumacher Mission came off worse with a broken chassis.  Fortunately, Gary was able to patch up the chassis with a temporary fix.  Bad luck Gary :-(

Stock Touring A-Final
It was business as usual for Nick Bruty as he sailed home in first place for both legs of the Final.  There was some close racing between Adi, John, Tim, Howard and David for the to 5 places.  The track had got a little faster by the time the finals came round, with Nick just a shade off an 18 lapper.  


After both legs, the top five overall for this round were as follows:
1st Nick Bruty 
2nd John Davie
3rd Adi Wright 
4th Tim Hastie 
5th David Sharp 

Nick Bruty's score at this round means that he retains his Winter Series crown once again.  Well done Nick.  The other finishing positions are still wide open and could go to a number of drivers.  This makes for an interesting final round next month.

Super Touring Qualifying

There were 11 drivers battling it out in this class.  Rob Hughes Jnr set the early pace in round 1 with 19/306.00s.  Ian Whittingham went much quicker in round 2 and then round 3 to clinch FTD.  Mark Traversoni left it until the last round to get 2nd place on the grid for the finals.  Rob Hughes Jnr settled for 3rd, ahead of Luke Burr in 4th and Jamie Bates in 5th.
