GN Notes: 132 leads away. 84 gets rid of 16 and 55 into turn 3 on lap 1. 55, 191 and 166 all struggle for grip at this early stage. 84 hits 555 off the racing line in turn 3. 73 leads at lap 3 with 84 in 3rd. 16 does a two wheeled shimmy around the turn 4 kerb. 73 and 84 appear to be the only two cars dialled in for the greasy surface as they pull clear. 263 stops on the exit of turn 4. At 6 to go under pressure from 84 the 73 car slides wide in turn 4 and loses the lead. 259 and 515 are coming on strong at this late stage. At 2 to go 73 closes on 84 momentarily, but the gap opens up again. 392 spins it turn 4 at race end as Tom blasts it sideways over the line for the victory. However, it is a close one as Chris nearly pips him up the inside as they race to the flag. That's it folks. Back with my mate Nic from Hednesford tomorrow 👍
