... and it rained!

It was very light drizzle by the time of Top Twelve run-off and it turned out to be a cracker. Stewart Robb scored his maiden British Sprint Championship victory in the ex-Griffiths/Grace/Newton MP58 DFR. Rodney Eyles was second on his 2005 debut whilst Tony Wiltshire grabbed third and the lead in the championship. Tony Eyles was fourth but was restricted to a single run when the front wing collapsed. Roy Dawson was fifth, just one thousandth adrift, in his new Firehawk whilst Steve Broughton was sixth troubled by a crumbling gearbox!
Seventh spot went to the intrpid Stephen Miles in the Mole Racing Van Diemen that dragged its carbonfibre undertray round all day! Andrew Platt was a disappointing eighth in the Dallara as Garry Dickson's trip from Orkney was rewarded with ninth spot. Tenth went to Simon Ashby how may well have regretted the choice of slicks as may Phil Lynch in eleventh. Last place went to Nick Algar who had lain ninth after the first runs but who had the clutch explode on his second run!

As all the teams who were present start to dry out everyone is looking forward to the Pembrey double header next week-end.
