DAWKINS takes the flag, but O’Neill wins the meeting.
Having suffered from an ignition related problem in the heats, James Dawkins found the cause and then pulled off a remarkable race in the Final. Starting last, due to the heats’ issues, Dawkins climbed through the grid to take a stunning win. Despite that, it was Russell O’Neill who won the day with a 2 point result, scored from pole and win at the flag. Mike Bell had been in contention, however, a ‘thrown’ chain put paid to podium chances. Nigel Vickery finished 2nd overall with 6 points. In the Championship standing O’Neill increases his lead over Bell and now has a 5 point advantage. Vickery closes in to 3rd overall, only 1 point adrift.
The Masters sub-class portrays a similar table with O’Neill in the lead from Bell & Vickery.
It is Vickery, however, who controls the BLUE Veteran section with a 0 point win over David Waldron. With 2 race meetings remaining, Vickery leads the Championship by 4 points from Ron Shone, with Waldron in 3rd place.
In the Legend sub-group, Waldron scores with a pole to flag result over Shone and Kevin O’Neill, who shared their points on the day. Shone still leads the Championship with Waldron in 2nd and Kevin O’Neill in 3rd spot.
Shone scored an unopposed win in the Top Weight sub-group and leads from Max Gunter.
