GN Notes: Another fast paced all action race. 263 leads away. 172 and 300 have a big moment on lap 1 entering the home straight with Paul riding over the front wheels of the 172 car. 318, 84 and 166 trade some big hits. Tom pulls clear and catches up to his sister who keeps him honest for a couple of laps. At 5 to go 501 and 124 are next on the Hitman's radar. He despatches them in one hit going into turn 3 and is off to the victory. A last corner hit from 318 on 16 gets Rob the place. The sound of the Team Davidson engines on full song around this track are something else! That's it folks. I'll be back from King's Lynn 👍

Pit News: 120 - Loading up. Carb bolts have pulled the thread inserts out of the manifold. 543 - Gear selector jammed during the Final. Sorted ok for the forthcoming GN. 166 - Re-attaching the right side exhaust. 84 - Porta-power on the front axle, replacing front left shocker.

Final Focus: 128 leads away. 84 puts a monster hit on 318 on the first lap. 124, 128 and 345 end up in a heap in turn 1. 84 pulls off with a collapsed front right. Caution for stranded cars. 263 heads the restart. 543 and 157 batter their way towards the front from the drop of the green. A caution soon after for a stranded 19 car on the back straight. 501 now heads the restart. 543 pulls off on the roller. 259 is the first red to show and despatches 157 with a hit into turn 1. 318 does likewise to 242 in turn 4 as he moves up the placings. The race-leading 501 rides out a big hit from 259 but succumbs a lap later. Hinesy is really going for it tonight. Loads of action throughout the field especially between 242, 551, 166 and 5. A great race, and well deserved victory for Paul.

Pit News: 318 - Replacing left hub and king pin. 543 - Working on the front axle and suspension. 452 - Loaded up. Keeps throwing the belts off. 555 and 41 both have major front end damage to fix.

Heat Three Happenings: 23 leads away. 157 kicks off the action with a good'un on 242 into turn 1. An early caution for stranded cars. 41 heads the restart. 318 whacks 84 aside in the early laps. 166 goes around in turn 3. 318 is stationary on the outside of turn 3 for a number of laps until pulling onto the centre with a flat front left. 8 and 73 are trading blows which allows 84 up the inside. A good fight between 8, 157 and 242 rages for a few laps. The closing laps sees 84 launch 543 into turn 1. Drew ends up stuck on a fence post. Win number two for the 84 car.

Heat Two Happenings: 23 leads away. 128 soon takes the lead. 166 and 318 are making inroads to the front. 124 is rapid once again and engages 132 up front. Both trade hits at opposite ends of the track until Kyle moves clear. The closing laps feature a great battle between 132, 242 and 501 with James not giving an inch and dishing out plenty of front bumper. Result: 124 318 166 242 501 132 191 300 339 5 128 499

Welcome to Skegness folks. Heat One Happenings: 41 leads away. 124 makes a good start and opens a gap to his fellow 'A' graders. 84 puts a big hit on 551, 259 and 555 into turn 3 and moves ahead. Caution for a stranded 41 on the outside line of the back straight. 128 heads the restart. 124 and 226 cannon into the turn 3 fence on the first lap after the restart. 128 spins it in the aftermath with 339 also caught out. Caution to remove stranded cars. 499 heads this restart. 84 up to second. 555 comes to grief on the exit of turn 4. Caution to remove debris from the home straight. 499 still ahead at this restart. 157 and 5 go side by side through turn 4. Charlie then heads towards the front. The remaining laps see a good battle between 551, 157 and 124 with plenty of hits being traded. 259 arrives on the scene and despatches 551 and 157 with a good hit into turn 1. The last lap sees some needle between 157 and 172. 84 wins by some distance.

GN Notes: 453 leads away. 268 and 120 get spat out of the pack in turn 3 and hit the fence. 457 and 526 are the lead duo throughout the race until the end. The remaining cars circulate with equal gaps. 84 beasted it around to a 4th place finish without any yellow flags. Joe Booth tried for a hit on the 84 rear end at race end but to no avail. That's it folks. Back from Skegness 👍 -

Final Focus: 372 leads away. 55 gives 16 a hit into turn 1 but Mat holds on. 84 is on a mission with a big hit on 446 into turn 3. 55 at this stage is keeping with 84 and draws alongside down the home straight. 587 is leading by a decent gap. 84 steps up another gear and leaves 55 behind. 587 pulls off. The remaining laps are an 84 masterclass as Tom blasts to another feature race victory. -

Heat Two Happenings: 548 leads away. The 'B' grade scatter in all directions as they go through turn 1. 127 and 545 lock together on the exit of turn 2. 124 spins it turn 1. 548 and 457 collide on the exit of turn 4. 84 threads the needle between 463, 446 and 16 as he powerslides through turns 3 & 4 to take an early lead. Caution for a stranded 138 up against the turn 4 fence with a collapsed front left. 84, 16 and 463 head the restart. 548 gets out of shape along the home straight and clouts the fence virtually head on just past the starter. Caution to remove the stranded car, and to repair the fence. After a lengthy delay the remaining laps are all Tom's as he leathers it around the track in a class display of full sideways through the turns to win by half a lap. -

Welcome to Brafield folks. Heat One Happenings: 548 leads away. 545, 326, 124, 127 and 372 all tangle in a heap in turn 1 on the first lap. 84 is through the reds by lap 2 but then goes wide in turn 1 and stalls. 548 and 587 are the top two at halfway. However, 548 spins it in turn 1 next lap. 4 to go 55 bumpers 587 wide to take a short-lived lead as the car suddenly slows and limps around for the remaining laps. The last lap sees 84 collide with a stationary 373 on the exit of turn 4. Sam claims the win. -
Thank you both 👍

GN Notes: 350 leads away. 212 spat out of the pack through turn 1 on the opening lap. 457 slowed on the back straight. 446 into an early lead. Caution for a stranded 216 on the exit of turn 2. 446, 93 and 166 head the restart. Joe drifts wide in turn 1 but just holds the lead. 166 has closed in and fires 93 in but loses the spot. 55 has caught 515 and they battle through turn 3. Halfway and 446 is still leading. 55 catches 93 on the exit to turn 4 and they collide leaving Craig stationary on the entrance to the straight. A marker tyre straddles the racing line also. Caution period. 446, 217 and 84 head the restart. 217 through to lead. 84 passes 446 in turn 3. 55 and 446 both succumb to flat outside rears in the closing stages. 84 launches a pile-driver of a hit on 217 into turn 3 and takes the lead and sets sail for the victory. That's it folks. Back from Brafield 👍

Final Focus: 350 leads away. 335 spins out in turn 3 on the first lap trapping 216. 515 spins unaided on the exit of turn 4. 166 fires 217 into turn 3 but Lee holds the place. 84 is setting a blistering pace and taking no prisoners with liberal use of the front bumper. He moves 217 to the outside of the back straight with a nerf hit. 463 ends up broadside across turn 3 with 166 side on. A number of other cars are involved including 515 who punctures the right rear on the front corner of another car. Caution period. 457 pulls off before the restart which leaves 84 in the top spot at this very early stage of the race. 84, 127 and 217 are the top 3. 127 and 217 then tangle exiting turn 2 which results in Lee hitting an infield tyre and losing places. With the tremendous beasting that Tom was giving the right rear it cried enough and let go before halfway. 55 now took over the top spot and headed to the victory. Behind Craig the remaining cars reeled off the laps in a single file formation all equally spaced.
