A dominant points win by Joey Foster in the latest round of the TABOR Customer Championship has shot him up from equal 5th to equal 1st. He shares the top spot with Anth Cleal, both of them on 58 points. Second, on the day, was junior driver Sam Mitchell. His result promotes him from equal 11th up to 5th place and in line for £ 100, although the season is but young, with a long way to go. Rob Mortimore also scored well with 19 points moving him up to 4th position. Kevin O’Neill, previously in 2nd place, suffered by his non-attendance ( mistake on dates, regarding an organised trip abroad ! ) and slips down to equal 7th place.
The next scoring round is at Mansell Raceway on April 24th.

At the opening round of the NKRA & Formula Blue Championship held at Mansell Raceway on the weekend of the 27th March. Rhys Read showed a clean pair of heels to the rest of the Junior Blue grid winning all 3 Heats and Final in dominant fashion. On the day, it was only Rudie Winslow-Morten who managed to stay in contact, though never in a position to challenge, in 3rd position was Ben Gillit.
In the Senior Formula Blue grid, it was Stuart Gray, all the way from Edinburgh in Scotland, who showed the established grid the way home. Having secured pole position he then dominated the racing, although Anthony Cleal did work his way through to finish 0.07 seconds adrift. Joey Foster took a very credible 3rd place right right on the tail of the leading pair. Indeed only 0.29 of a second separated the first three drivers.
So, Gray won the day with 0 Championship points from Foster in 2nd on 5 points. Cleal and Mike Bell shared 3rd overall with 9 points. Dave Watts, Ben Joseph and Tom Parker tied for 5th place on 13 points.
The Master sub-class was won by Gray from Foster, Cleal, Joseph and Paul Alexander.
Gray also cleaned up in the veteran group from Cleal, Alexander, Nigel Vickery and David Goode.
To reinforce a totally dominant performance, Gray heads the Legend section from Chis Underhill, Goode, Kevin O’Neill and Chris Lord ( the first of the reserves).
The last sub-class, Blue Top Weight, was won by Joseph from Parker, Phil Shears, John Hartshorne and Ron Shone.
Following this fantastic opening round, the Blue racers have a fortnight before round 2 , at the Clay Pigeon Raceway, on April 10th. This meeting also encompasses the varying ‘0’ plates, so there will, no doubt, be some serious preparation going on !
