Welcome to King's Lynn folks. W & Y Race Re-cap 524 leads away. 235 goes into turn 1 with a big hit on the cars in front scattering 44, 414, 78 and 407. Mick spins it a couple of laps later in turn 1. 587 gives chase to race leading 32. 415 stops on the outside of turn 4. With 3 to go 587 slices up the inside of 32 in turn 3 and heads to the victory.

Final Focus 32 leads away. 249 and 216 wallop the turn 3 fence on lap 1. 211 and 289 come together on the homestraight leaving Phoebe broadside half on the track, and half against the concrete blocks. 2 spins backwards unaided into turn 1. Next lap round 289 clips the stranded 211 car which brings out the caution. All ok. 32 heads the restart. Another caution period soon follows for the 249 car who gives the back straight fence a big hit and ends up stationary in turn 3 with the engine at full revs. Stuart Milnes on the scene pulls the cut off switch. Joff ok after being helped from the car. The restart lasts a lap before another one for a back straight incident, and a stranded 166 on the exit to turn 2. 515 and 289 pull off before the restart. 32 still out front heads the field on the green flag. 94 and 34 clash in turn 1 which sees Mal bounce off the fence backwards. The 1 car leads by halfway after slicing up the inside of 16. With 2 laps left to run the World Champ's outside rear lets go. Mat comes through for a popular victory. That's it from me folks. Back from King's Lynn π

Consolation Catch Up 548 leads away. 163 pulls off before the start. 502 bundles 544 into the back straight fence which also collects 235. Caution for stranded cars. 169 heads the restart. 526 backs it into the home straight wall on the restart and remains there for a number of laps. 491 puts a move on 502 and 169 into turn 3. Billy J then slows dramatically. 73 hits 555 into turn 3. JJ loses a number of places stuck on the outside line. 53 passes 73 in turn 3 with a good hit. 491 now leads from 34. A lap down 44 delays Mal long enough for the 94 car to catch and despatch the 34 into the back straight concrete blocks. 2 to go sees King John edging ever closer to the now leading 94 but runs out of laps to challenge for the victory. The last lap sees 555 fire 491 and 73 into turn 3 for the position. A good race with plenty going on and a great performance from 53.

Heat Two Happenings 32 leads away. 1 is amongst the front of the blues by lap 3. 32 and 587 have broken away up front. 249 holds the World Champ up in turn 1. 587 into 1st by halfway. 249 hits 16 into turn 1. Newly-wed Mal Brown tangles with 163 in turn 4. Both take a wild ride down the home straight. 35 holds up 587 momentarily allowing the 1 car to edge closer. By 3 to go the gap has decreased significantly. Sam drifts wide through turns 3 & 4 coming to the last lap which sees Tom through and away for the win.

Welcome to Odsal. Heat One Happenings 235 leads off. 175 puts a hit in on 491 and 463 into turn 3 on the opening lap. 238 leads after lap 2. 515 the first of the back row men to show. 44 spins and stalls in turn 1. 100 parks in parallel to him. 515 gets 127 sideways in turn 1 and close following 53 straightens him up. Caution for the stranded 100 car. 515 leads the restart with 212 and 53 behind. 463 spins 238 out in turn 3. 259 whacks 53 in turn 3 with 5 to go. 515 away and clear for the win.

GN Notes 19 leads away. 346 fires 175 into turn 3 on the opening lap. 464 and 515 move through the field with some good hits to make up the places. 259 puts a hit in on 19 to take the lead. Jon slows soon after. 1 makes up the places from the lap down with some blinding speed. 259 takes the win to cap a good night for Paul. That's it until tomorrow folks π

Final Focus 19 leads off. 5 starts the ball rolling with a hit on 172 into turn 3 as Charlie makes a break from the 'A' graders. 1 gives 464 a hurry up hit into turn 1. 16 does likewise to 259 in turn 3. A big pile up in turn 1 brings out the caution. 128, 211, 524, 464, 212, 526, 515, 16, 164 amongst others get caught up in it. 19 leads the restart. 1 moves 5 aside into turn 3 and sets off after 19. 543, 172 and 124 end up in a heap in turn 1. 1 soon catches and passes the 19 car to take the lead. Caution for stranded cars. With the World Champ at the front of the restart nobody was going to match his speed and take the challenge to him for the top spot. 515 hit 16 aside into turn 1, with 526 doing the same in turn 3. 19 and 555 crash out in turn 2 with 346 running into the pair. A high speed dash to the victory flag followed with most of the field equally spread out.

Pit News 175 - Changing right stub axle. 120 - Straightening front axle. 401 - Changing right stub axle.

Consolation Catch Up 524 leads away. 548 gets out of shape on the homestraight and ends up being pushed sideways by 401. Both stop mid-track. As Mark makes a move to the outside a fast approaching 141 clips the car which spins it around to leave it stranded at the end of the straight. 492 moves 175 aside with a decent hit into turn 3. Karl's steering wheel then comes off as he goes down the homestraight. A bounce off the fence, and the infield marker tyres sees his race done for. 526 and 543 are having a good battle up front. With a number of stranded cars the caution is called. 526 leads the restart but is passed by 543 into turn 1 before they swap places again. 212 hits 211 into turn 1 with 120 doing likewise to Danny. 141 piles into the back of 120. All get going except 120. The last lap sees 543 try a last bender on 526 from a very long way back but doesn't get close.

Pit News 8 - Welding right rear link bracket and nerf rail bracing. 175 - Karl and Terry have got the porta power on the front right corner to straighten out the damage from the 543 hit.

Heat Two Happenings 452 leads away. 211 puts a big hit in on 501 and 5 into turn 3. 212 out with a flat right rear. 452 and 307 head the field. 175 fires 543 into turn 1. 464 and 1 take the top two places. The last lap sees a super hit on 175 from 543 entering turn 3.

Welcome to sunny Skeggy. Heat One Happenings 19 leads away. A few laps in sees 8 battle her way back past 515 only to half spin in turn 1. A lap later a coming together in turn 2 between Catherine and 191 leaves the 8 car on top of the infield tyres, and Josh stranded facing the wrong way on the back straight racing line. This brings out the caution. 19 still up front heads the restart. 124 gets eased aside by 515 and 16 shortly after the green waves. 120 puts a big hit in on 526 entering turn 3 which sees Finn pull off with a mechanical failure. 124 closes in on 16 in the closing laps but not enough to pass. The last lap sees 120 make hard contact with 381 in turn 4 which sees them both take a wayward trajectory over the finish line. 19 kept it up front for the win from a closing 515.

GN Notes 545 leads away. 211 spins in turn 3. 249 spins at the entrance to the back straight. 191 and 47 pull off with right front flats. 1 is coming rapidly through from the back. 166 hits 463 into turn 3. James collects a big marker tyre which ends up bring hit by 259 on the homestraight. 5 comes to a stop on the outside of turn 2. 235 gives 12 a hit going into turn 3 which Michael repays at the opposite end. The closing laps sees the race leading 289 putting up a solid defence of his place against the World Champ. Tom takes a wide outside line and eventually gets past. That's it folks. Back from Skegness π

Final Focus 32 leads away. A combined push from 515 and 2 sees the 1 car stuck on the top rope of the fence in turn 1 on the first lap. 249 and 259 pull off with flat front rights. 525, 326, 191 and 11 pile in to the 1 car on the next lap bringing out the caution. All ok. 32 heads the restart. 166 puts a big hit in on 25 and 555 entering turn 1. 32 has an off in turn 1 which sees 502 take up the lead. 47 stopped on the outside of turn 1 brings out the caution. 502 heads the field on the restart. 2 half spins it in turn 3 losing time. 166 gives 515 a whack into turn 1. FWJ repays it by spinning Bobby out halfway down the back straight. 12 and 338 lock together and career onto the infield just making light contact with the parked up 1 car. 5 now in the lead reels off the remaining laps with a very mature drive to complete the double.

Consolation Catch Up 78 leads away. 587 pulls off with a flat left rear to join a few other fancied runners on the infield. A caution for a stranded car in turn 1 sees 259 at the head of the field. Within a couple of laps of the restart 326 takes the lead from 259. Paul sticks the bumper in on Sarge going into turn 3 on the last lap to retake the lead and the victory.

Update on 197. Ryan's loaded up but no physical damage to the car apart from the wing. The engine's lost a lot of oil so they're going to sort it properly back at base.
