Saloons UK Championship Top 3 : 800 Barry Russell 349 Michael Allard 730 Deane Mayes Barry kept within range of long time leader Stuart Shevill Jnr 618 for many laps. After closing in for a possible last bender Barry found Stuart slowing to negate any race winning hit. The 800 pilot's answer was to spin the defending champ out. A fantastic finish!

At the opposite end of the track 489, 73, 87 and 279 all exit turn 4 side by side resulting in a skittle effect with them ending up all over the show. 327 relinquishes the lead to 551 with 6 to go.

Welcome to day two folks. Heat One Happenings: 397 leads away. 20 goes flying in with a big hit into turn 3 on the first lap. This scatters the cars in front leaving 211, 124 and 195 to tangle and come to a stop on the exit to turn 4. 397 goes around on the homestraight and is stuck facing the traffic until getting going again a couple of laps later. 197 puts a move on 16 into turn 3. 132 spends a couple of laps bouncing off the fence unaided at different points of the circuit. 397 spins entering turn 1 and gets a head on from 295. 20 whacks 381 wide into turn 1. The 197 car takes advantage and goes up the inside of both. The run to the flag sees a drag to the line between 48 and 368 for 4th place. Paul Carter is away and gone for the win.

GN Notes: 343 leads away. 526 pulls off on the roller. 141 goes around in turn 2. 19 and 172 ride up the back straight fence in avoidance. At the same time the rest of the field come to a crunching halt in a big pile up around the stricken 141 car. Caution flags. All ok. 8 cars already out before the restart.

A close following 283 tangles with him. 197 gives 217 a hefty hit into turn 3 and moves into the lead. The closing laps sees some brutal hits going in from a number of drivers. The last lap has 191, 16 and 48 going into turn 3 using each other as a brake with a great clash of steel. Easily the best race from the F1's.

Nic's lost the internet at the moment so here's the: Heat One Result: 551, 1, 327, 464, 8, 16, 452, 25, 19, 47, 555 and 2.

Heat Two Happenings 132 leads away. 242 slows and pulls off on lap 1. 36 and 346 tangle and go around in turn 3. 197 has made good progress but a backmarker slows him on the exit of turn 2. 217 pounces and passes Ryan up the inside down the back straight. 132 spins out in turn 4 and gets hit head on by 343. 172 and 300 are away up front. 166 is the first red to show. 543 tracks 197 for the majority of the race. 217 puts a hit in on 368 entering turn 3. 141 holds up 300 and 166. This allows the following cars to close in. 73 gets dumped into the turn 4 fence on the run to the flag as 172 takes the win.

Hi folks, welcome to a red hot Skeg Vegas. Massive crowd and a packed pits. Heat One Happenings 327 leads the field away. The heat has made the track slippery and most cars struggle for grip exiting the bends. 147 and 489 tangle and spin out on the exit to turn 2. 8 is the leading 'A' grader with brother Tom making strides from the back. 551 takes the lead from 327 with 6 to go. Tom passes Catherine by gently easing her aside entering turn 1. As Courtney Finn takes the win Catherine's left rear deflates which sees her burning rubber over the line to finish in 5th.

Thank you both 👍
