NKRA REGIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP NOW OVER WITH GILES, READ, CLEAL, UNDERHILL & PARKER VICTORIOUS IN THEIR VARIOUS CATEGORIES.
Having achieved Pole for the Final, Rhys Read could not be caught in the Regional Championship, barring an exclusion ( which meant the result could not be dropped). So, following specific team instructions to avoid any potential incident he circulated clear of other competitors. This policy , no doubt, was aided by knocking off his plug cap ! The day was won by Jamie Bradfield on 2 points with Read 2nd on 6 points.
In the Championship, it is Read who takes the win from Sam Mitchell , then Bradfield.
The Formula Blue class was decimated by non-attendees suffering from Covid-associated issues. This particularly affected Mike Bell, the only driver realistically capable of wrestling the Championship away from Anthony Cleal. On the day, where coincidentally, much of the grid was sidelined with electrical problems of one form or another, it was Cleal who with a lights to flag win, won on Zero points. Equal 2nd with 7 points were Sylvain Vessier and Tom Parker.
In the Master section, it was Cleal who took the win with Zero points. Behind him Nigel Vickery and David Waldron shared 2nd spot with 6 points apiece. The championship win goes to Cleal with Vickery 2nd and Waldron 3rd.
Cleal, who also won the Veteran sub-class again on Zero points, with Vickery and Waldron sharing 2nd place with 6 points. In the regional results, Cleal wins from Vickery and Waldron.
David Goode racing his new Mac Kart for the first time took the win in the Blue Legend section, 2nd was Chris Underhill on 5 points from Ron Shone with 7 points. It is Underhill, however, who wins the Championship from Robin Stoddart-Stones and Goode.
Tom Parker, enjoying a fabulous Championship, took 1st place on the day in the Top Weight section with Zero points. Ron Shone and John Hartshorne claimed equal 2nd on 5 points. Parker wins the Championship from Shone and Ben Joseph.
The Blue grid now has 8 weeks before the Grande Finals, to be held at Forest Edge on September 4th. Many of the competitors will, however, take advantage of the 2 Counties Club Championship race scheduled for August 7th, also at the Forest Edge Circuit.
