  1. Final Focus 93 spins in turn 4 on the opening lap. 20 climbs the fence also in turn 4. 1 pulls off with a flat right front. Caution flag flies for a damaged turn 4 fence. Whilst fence repairs are ongoing the World Champ leaves the circuit to change the wheel but is locked out and is not allowed to rejoin the full restart race. Race start sees H410 and 191 bouncing off each other down the backstraight. 166 gets sideswiped by H880 which takes 463 to the fence as a consequence. 191 fenced in turn 3 by H410. 515 is through from the back. 16, H410 and 166 all on the centre out of the race. After another caution the restart sees 308 hit 12 into turn 1 with 515 into 2nd. Following a further caution for a driver needing attention in turn 4 the next restart over the remaining 3 laps sees some wild racing with 525 leaving 515 behind. Frank struggles to keep a tight line through the corners on the freshly watered track. 191 catches up and piledrives H210 into the back of 515 who rides the hit. The last lap sees 525 away to the win whilst 191 flies in with a last bender on 515 into turn 3. Frank keeps 2nd as Josh bounces along the fence over the line just missing a close following 12. A top finish!
  2. Consolation Catch Up 381 pulls off before the start. 326 stops on the outside of turn 4 on the first lap trapping 268 behind him. 524 and 489 spin in turn 4 which delays 124. H210 hits 11 into turn 1 which connects with 308 resulting in a synchronised half spin. 16 soon through into an early lead. H880 arrives on the scene to treat us to a multi-lap, side by side battle with Mat. 124 pulls off with a flat right rear. Meanwhile up front H880 has got past 16 and sets off to collect the silverware.
  3. He was giving the others a chance to catch up Nic 👍
  4. Pit news after the Heats 478 - Bent front axle 346 - Front bumper split H880 - Porta power on the front axle H337 - Porta power to straighten the right rear nerf rail 392 - Welding front corner 20 - Welding front bumper corner brace 45 - Carb investigation 268 - Straightening front axle
  5. Heat Two Happenings 166 gets turned around exiting turn 2. H699 rolls it on the backstraight. Following a restart the 1 car comes through the field chasing 93 and 166. 381 loops it round in turn 4. 1 catches H38 in turn 1 and rides over her left rear but carries on. 524 who had been stationary midway through turn 3 for a number of laps proves problematic for Tom to pass who inexplicably clouts it after taking the lead. The race ends with 166 doing a last bender on race leading 93 who bounces along the fence to finish 2nd.
  6. Hello folks, welcome to Brafield on the day after the night before. Will we see H410 add more trophies to his impressive haul so far? Heat One Happenings 392 goes around in turn 4 on the first lap. Jelle starts the onslaught with hits to 463 and 16. 515 muscles his way past and is clear. H410 then takes 21 around the outside through turns 3 and 4. 326 leads away after a caution period. H410 moves in and whacks 515 aside entering the backstraight followed by a big hit to 326. 515 puts a monster hit in on Jelle down the homestraight just as 392 spins in turn 1 which causes a pile up and subsequent caution. All eyes on 515 at the restart with H410 directly behind. However, Frank reels off the remaining laps with a safe gap to his Netherlands challenger.
  7. GN/Dash For The Cash 45, 87 and 211 end up on the pitch on the first lap. 175 goes around in turn 2 and gets hit head on by 166. 55, 515 and 445 are coming through the field. Some of the cars slow for no apparent reason so a red flag eventually flies. The restart sees H410 on a charge and challenges 515 for the place. Frankie takes a wide line through turn 3 and rides up the fence and over onto his roof. The following restart sees H410 blast past 55 and 34 and go after 2nd placed 249. Joff manages to hold on until the end however. That's it folks. That was a great night. Back tomorrow from Northampton 👍
  8. Final Focus A spectacular crash in turn 3 with 446 on top of the fence upside down with the back of the cab over the fence. 338 also involved. The restart sees 94 do a wall of death around turn 2. 3 takes a wayward line through turn 3 and gets battered from pillar to post. 55 slows and loses time with a problem but gets back up to speed a lap down behind race leader H410 and applies the pressure. Jelle is not fazed however and claims the victory in fine style.
  9. Consolation Catch Up A race of flats: 175 front right, 445 rear right, 515 rear left. 326 ended up on the pitch in the early laps. 211 joined him a lap later. 335 and 87 both go around in turn 4 causing chaos for the following cars. 55 makes his way through from the back to overhaul 276 and 83 for the win. His left rear also lets go in the closing laps.
  10. WF Final Focus Here we go then. A lot happening so apologies if anything missed. Tom away on the first start. 16 rolls it in turn 1 in a pile up with 175, 211, 212 and 555. The second start sees 55 barge 1 wide into turn one which opens the door for 166 to come hammering through. He then clashes with a hard charging 197 and both bounce off each other down the backstraight. 515 out in turn 2. Meanwhile mayhem on the homestraight ensues as 175, H393, H699 and 34 collide and block the track bringing out the reds for a second time. Next restart sees 1 on a flyer away from the pack with a big battle between 55, 166 and 197 behind. Ryan breaks clear and sets off to hunt Tom down only for the right rear to let go. 445 pulls off with 338 on the backstraight. Start number four sees the 1 car away and gone. 217 goes up the inside of 55 and into 2nd. Craig loses time and places on the outside line. 166 and 2 cannon 259 aside through turn 3. 2 bounces off the turn 1 fence. 55 then whacks 259 out of the way. 55 and 166 engage in battle through turn 3. 53 pulls off just past halfway. A backmarking 34 makes it a challenge for 1 and 217 to pass. Tom loses time which allows Lee one chance to go up the inside coming out of turn 4 but can't get past. Lee loses time when he catches 73 struggling with a flat right rear into turn 1. The closing laps see Tom maintain a safe gap to seal the win.
  11. Heat Two Happenings 268 pulls off before the rolling lap. 11 and 238 go around at the end of the homestraight with Rich retiring with a flat right rear. 87 pulls off on the restart. 345 hits the turn 3 fence and gets collected by 215. 235 hits the backstraight fence and bounces onto the pitch. A second caution waves with 45 in the lead. Unfortunately it looks as though Nige has drive-train problems as he gets tractored off before the restart. H410 whacks the front two out of the way and takes a lead he increases to the finish. A superb performance once again. 446 nursing a buckled right rear wheel catches 3 with a lap to go and puts in a challenge which Chris resists.
  12. Hi folks, it's the big day at Odsal. Who'd have thought this day would happen a couple of years ago! Heat One Happenings 424 takes an early lead as 88 and 524 tangle in turn 3 collecting 249 and 137 a lap later. 424 has to give best to a combined assault from 24 and 136 following a restart. 525 catches 24 and engages him in battle with 127 closing. 532 pulls up in a cloud of steam in turn 2. 525 takes the lead and the victory.
  13. Final Focus 524 and 295 lock together on the opening lap in turn 3 causing mayhem through the corner for the following pack. 268 and 525 crash out in turn 3. The now leading 238 half spins in turn 1 which allows H410 to close in. Approaching turn 3 Jelle puts the big one in on Rich who rolls it after hitting a backmarking 524. The restart sees 326 try a move on H410 to no avail as Jelle is off on a flyer to the victory. Sarge was left to try and fight off the Netherland onslaught which came in rapid succession. England v Holland race cancelled owing to lack of time so that's it for tonight folks. Back from the big day tomorrow 👍
  14. Heat Two Happenings A fast race with the lads from the Netherlands adapting well to the Odsal track. H210 takes an early lead once again as 235 goes around in turn 4. H337 jumps the tyres down the straight. 87 and 524 crash out together in turn 2.
  15. Hi folks. Welcome to the WF weekend. Heat One Happenings 137 and H210 lead the field away. 326 clouts the backstraight fence on lap 1 before coming to a stop with 532 on the exit of turn 2. 238 and 137 tangle and stop in turn 3. H210 leads off at the restart. H248 and 235 collide entering the homestraight which leaves Mick facing the oncoming traffic. 87 is flying into the bends but loses time drifting up to the fence on the exits. The last lap sees Sam caught up with a marker tyre at the end of the backstraight.
  16. A four wide couple of warm up laps set the scene in front of a big crowd. 226 pulls clear of the field at the drop of the green as 968 spins in turn 4 which causes a pile up. A caution flag period sees the 24 car out with front end damage from this initial pile up. 183 out with a flat front right. 606 pulls off also. 647 now in the lead sets sail at a rate of knots as the green waves. NI998 puts a big hit in on 38 which sees Dave rattle down the back straight fence. Meanwhile the 7 car is making steady progress through the field. The closing laps see 647 encounter backmarkers in turn 2 which gives H124 a chance. He dives in but only makes light contact with Chris and costs himself time. The remaining laps see Fast Eddie pull clear to claim the win 19 yrs after his first WF. Result: 647, H124, 560, 226, NI747, 7, 801, B96, 674, NI998, 16, 38 and 968.
