The Dave Leonard Memorial Race/GN Re-cap: 544 leads away. 555 and 191 spin out in turn 1 ehich also delays 212. 5 sends 217 and 326 into turn 1 quicker than they bargained for. 217 takes the 5 car a lap later in the same turn. 172 with 84 alongside half spins in turn 3 with 84 doing likewise delaying both. 5, 335 and 515 battle through turns 3 and 4 with Mark not giving an inch. 5 to go and the leading 544 car has 217 getting ever closer in his mirror. Going through turn 3 for the last time sees Lee up the inside of 544 to take the victory in the race he's wanted to win for a long time. That's it from me folks until Buxton👍

Final Focus: 319 leads away. 326 spins out in turn 3 taking the 5 car with him. 515 and 84 clash also in the same turn and lose time. Some laps later a recovering 515 puts a side shuffle on 212 exiting turn 2. 191 and 16 bounce off each other down the back straight with Mat going sideways and hitting an infield marker tyre. Josh goes on to the infield. Both carry on. 555 goes around in turn 1 and careers off the track backwards onto the infield where he remains. 191 does a good impression of a steam train with clouds of steam coming through the bonnet intake. The car pulls off straightaway. 544 is flying up front. 259 pushes 335 into turn 1 to take the place. 5 to go sees the Flying Finn into his 3rd race winning lead of the night with a pass of 544 in turn 1. 212 advances a place coming to the 1 to go board by firing 84 into turn 3.

Heat Three Happenings: 544 leads away. The first lap sees 587 and 463 come together in turn 3. 555, 217, 259 and 457 all pile in. Full restart. 5 goes flying in to turn 1 and sends 212 around. 544 and 127 spin it in turn 2. 515 and 217 clash in turn 3 sending Frank into a spin. 84 momentarily hooks the side of 335 on the back straight. 47 off with a flat right rear. 8 to go and the Flying Finn is in a race winning lead. 84 and 5 circulate in close combat with Charlie getting the upper hand through turns 1 & 2 with an inside pass. The last lap 326 feels the force of the 5 front end into turn 3 as Sarge rattles off the plating.

The car has been suffering a leak from the front of the engine for a few meetings. Spare time to remove the engine to sort it is at a premium right now with the number of cars they're running.

Heat Two Happenings: 319 leads away. 335 spins out in turn 1. 16 and 191 lock together on the exit of turn 4 and slam the fence. Caution to retrieve 16. 268 leads the restart. 217 is the first Shooter to show and is flying through the field. 457 rides up on the side of 326 the full length of the home straight until 217 comes in to split them up in turn 1. Next lap round 457 tries a slide job on 217 in turn 1 but is foiled in his attempt by a fast approaching 55. A red flag for a 191 rollover in turn 4. All ok. 268 heads the restart. 555 spins it in turn 4 but ends up facing the right way and carries on. 587 passes 268 down the outside of the back straight which sends Richard on a wild trajectory towards the infield. 84 gives 457 a nudge into turn 1 which Callum repays with a hit on Tom in turn 3 which collects 127 and sends Austin into a roll. Red flag. All ok. 515 pulls off with a flat left front. 587 heads the field on the green. 5, 20 and 84 pile into turn 1 together and all tangle together ending up in the infield with Charlie on Liam's bonnet. 217, 55 and 457 all pass 587 in a high speed train down the home straight. Sam pulls off soon after. 457 goes around in turn 1. 55 passes 217 into turn 3 with 2 to go and goes on to take the win with Lee close behind.

Welcome to King's Lynn folks. Heat 1 (Whites, Yellows & Blues) Happenings: 11 leads away. Freddie led the first few laps with some good drifting out of the turns even riding the wall at one point. 319 and 268 gave chase until the 11 spun it in turn 4. A stranded 234 in turn 3, and a stuck 172 broadside on the back straight after tangling with 83 brought out the caution. The restart saw 319 spin the race leading 268 out in turn 2. Shortly after this 544 took the lead. 268 pulled off with a flat left rear. A lead change again a few laps later saw 541 move ahead. 545 whacked the turn 3 plating and came to an abrupt halt but no caution this time. 541 took the win. An excellent drone pilot kept it flying virtually on top of the cars for many laps.
