Welcome to Mildenhall folks. Uppermost in everyone's thoughts is the sad passing of Queen Elizabeth II. It's a fact that there isn't anyone in this country who hasn't lived the majority of their lives under her reign. She gave 70 years of dedication and duty. Nothing, and nobody has symbolised more about what it means to being British than our Queen. Rest In Peace, Your Majesty. The decision has been taken to let the racing continue this weekend so let's make it a good one.

WF Review: On a early rain soaked track 183 takes the field on a very slow rolling lap. Keeping the 7 car high and wide Charlie made the perfect start whilst Gordon who was stuck on the outside line dropped down the field. Entering turn 1 for the first time the 183 car drifted wide and bounced it off the plating. The following cars all had difficulty getting through those first two corners. A big pile up took out 3, 127, H186 amongst others. The 7 car was making inroads back to the front sending 38 wide to take 2nd place. Dave P put in a side hit on the Flying Fifer into turn 2 to retake the place. 968 making moves through the field. 183 encountered a wayward H410 in turn 2 which delayed him slightly. The next lap saw the 915 car stationary on the entrance to the back straight which saw 183 bounce off the plate trying to get through. With 38 now closing the leading duo entered turn 1 which saw Dave make the decisive move of the race with a big hit on 183 which saw Charlie rattle off the fence but keep going. Meanwhile 968 had passed the 7 car and settled into 2nd. 606 and 7 battled through turn 3 as 183 fought back passing 7 on the home straight. One to go saw the order over the line as 38, 968, 606, 183 and 7. Entering turn 3 for the last time 183 half spun 606 to take the place with 7 & H124 following. However, 183 had slowed himself with the move which gave 7 the chance to make a challenge on Guinchy by trying a side hit to the rear bumper but couldn't quite complete the move before the line. A jubilant Dave Polley took the flag with an all top 3 in DP cars. A great race 👍
