Taylor Waldron wins Round 2 of the NKRA Championship at Clay Pigeon. The win, however, was not without a little controversy over an ‘exuberant’ overtaking move. His victory, with a 2 point score, shoots him up the charts into 2nd place overall. Anthony Cleal, who won the actual Final finished 2nd on the day with 5 points, which was enough to maintain his overall lead in the Championships. The other noticeable performance came from Taylor’s father, Dave, who finished 6th on the track but 5th overall. His stunning performance rockets him up from 13th in the Championship ranking to 8th place, only 10 points behind his son in 2nd place.

The Championship returns to the Clay Pigeon Circuit on 14th July for Round 4

Taylor Waldron comes of age and takes the overall win in Round 6 of the Blue Challenge at the Clay Pigeon. He was, however, fortunate not to be penalised for an impetuous move on David Watts in the final which ended up with the retirement of Watts in the final, with a dislodged exhaust. Waldron scored only 2 points from a pole and a second-place result. Second was Anthony Cleal who actually won the Final but it was from a start position of fifth. Ben Pearson, the current ‘0’ plate Champion, came home 4th in the Final. The points, when totaled to the running scores keep Anthon Cleal in the overall lead from Pearson. Waldron moves up to 4th in the Championship.
It was Cleal who claimed first over-all in the Blue Master sections.
Again, in the Veteran sub-group, Cleal maintains his Series lead by winning the day. Continuing with his stunning form, David Waldron, finished 3rd on the day, thereby promoting him to 3rd in the overall points.
In the Legend sub-class, Robin Stoddart-Stones claimed the day’s win with 3 points with Kevin O’Neill and Ron Shone sharing 2nd place. Stoddart-Stones continues in the overall lead.
Duncan McLeod won the Top Weight section, maintaining his overall lead in this group.
Competitors now have a 4-week break before the next round at Clay Pigeon in July.

In a race filled with action from as early as lap 1, Ben Pearson drove brilliantly to finish 3rd over the line. This coupled with his 3rd place grid start was enough to give him overall victory by the slimmest of margins over Anthony Cleal the actual final winner. David Watts finished 3rd overall, on the same points as Cleal, but lost out on count back.

In the Master and Veteran sections, it was Cleal who won the ‘O’ Plates. Russell O’Neill and Rob Mortimore chased him home in the Master section with Mortimore and David Waldron taking up the podium in the Veteran group.
Ron Shone, having qualified in 3rd drove the Final ‘ like days of old’ to take the win and consequently the Legend ‘O’ Plate. It was Robin Stoddart-Stones and Stuart Gray who claimed 2nd and 3rd overall places.
In the last of the sub-groups, namely Top Weight, it was Ben Pearson who took the flag in 1st Place and also the overall win, from the McLeod son and father duo.
