A beautiful sunny day greeted the competitors for round 2 of the Two Counties Club Championship, held at the Clay Pigeon Raceway on Saturday 25th April.
After an impressive 3 heats, Max Gunter sat in Pole position, with Russell O’Neill alongside. Row 2 was occupied by Mike Bell and Hannah Dawkins.
From the lights, Gunter took the lead pressed, in turn, by O’Neill and Bell. A sheared throttle shaft eventually put paid to Gunter’s race, leaving O’Neill to change his concentration from the Kart in front to the Kart behind ! He kept his composure and remained in front to the chequered flag, taking a well deserved win with Bell right behind. Nigel Vickery finished 3rd, racing ‘rich’ on his carberettor setting to ensure there would not be any issues. O’Neill now takes over the Championship lead by 3 points from Bell with Ron Shone and Vickery sharing 3rd place.
All the contestants in the Master sub-class also featured in the open class and therefore the results were identical, with O’Neill in the lead followed by Bell, Shone and Vickery.
In the Veteran sub-group, Shone and Vickery share the overall lead with the same points and drop option.
Shone leads the Legend sub-class unapposed.
Shone & Gunter shared the points on the day in the Top Weight section, though it is Shone who has a clear lead in the overall Championship positions.
The next round for the Two Counties Club Championship is on Saturday 25th July.

The competition for the Formula BLUE ‘O’ plates took place at the Lydd International Raceway on 5th April. Stuart Gray from Scotland, had the furthest to travel in order to reach Lydd, located on the coast in the south east of England. He arrived several days early and put in a serious amount of testing. It paid off because he ended the day having qualified on pole and after 15 grueling laps took the chequered flag victorious. Even a little drizzle midway through the Final didn’t phase him, he maintained his rapid pace throughout ! Not content with winning the open age categaory he also claimed the sub-class ‘0’ Plate categories, Master ( over 30 years), Veteran ( over 45 yers) and Legend ( over 60 years).
The Top Weight ( over 90 kg) sub-group was won by newbie Phil Waters, on his first outing in Formula BLUE. Phil qualified 3rd on the grid but took the flag ahead of Leanne McShane to win by 1 point.
Danny Elson in Junior BLUE had a spectacular day. Racing in with the Seniors, he qualified 5th on the grid for the Final and was in the leading group when sliding off as the drizzle hit the race, never the less he wins the Junior ‘0’ plate.
