Many thanks to Nigel Anderson for the following update concerning last night's Final result: After 4 hours of messaging/emailing both 157 and 515 have been removed from the result. It now reads 1(84), 212, 8, 217, 501, 16, 20, 2, 259, 242, 73, 166

An update on the Final result. 157 failed the post race weigh in. 515 also under investigation for weight. No confirmed amended result at this time. That's it folks. I'll be back from Skegness 👍

GN RESULT: 157 - 8 - 212 - 501 - 16 - 2 - 20 - 217 - 25 - 463 - 287 - 1 DNF: 499 - 73 - 381 - 178

GN NOTES: 559 leads away. 499 and 73 lock together on the home straight and career onto the centre. 8 and 515 are on a charge. 501 does a slide job on 505 into turn 1 who then whacks the fence. 8 now leads with Tom playing wingman against the 157 torpedo. Notwithstanding this Adam makes his move to take the top spot from Catherine at 3 to go and sets sail for the win.

GN GRID: LAP HANDICAP - 1 W - 559 - 505 - 530 Y - 499 - 287 - 178 - 157 B - 25 - 73 - 242 - 8 - 381 R - 48 - 501 SHOOTERS 2 463 217 515 16 212 20

There is a possible change to the Final result. Still in discussion but it does not involve 1st place.

Final Focus: 559 leads away. 501 passes all the blue grade in one move. An early caution for a stranded 339 on the back straight. Restart order is 226 - 287 - 559 157 is soon through to lead. 8 and 515 are putting in a strong performance. Catherine keeps with Frankie after he passes her. At halfway 1 hits 157 wide into turn 1 and takes the top spot. Adam has no chance to retaliate this time as Tom is carrying phenomenal speed down the straights. 226 and 530 come to a stop on the outside of turn 3. 1 lap to go sees 515 pass 157 with a push into turn 1. Adam launches a pile-driver of a hit in return entering turn 3 but to no avail. A win for the World Champ.
