DP's loaded the tractor up already 😀

After the winning presentations it was time for the coin toss. Richard Kaleta called for a t...er to come forward and found it very amusing when Barry Watson stepped up! Tom called tails and won the coin toss. He has chosen pole position for the WF.

Semi-Final 2 report: 515 takes the lead through turn 1. 138 on a charge takes over up front next lap.

Final Focus 307 leads away. 132 glances the fence coming to the green and is stranded on the entrance to the home straight. 515 hooks up on the left rear corner of the 16 car entering turn 3. Caution to move 132. 307 leads. The restart sees 8 & 36 cannon into the turn 3 fence. As a caution is called 283 is sent onto the infield tyres on the back straight and ends up side on to the traffic. 307 leads. The restart sees 307 shoved out by 269 and 452. 1 is advancing through the field at a fast rate with 217 ahead. 452 leads. 175 goes around in turn 4. 555, 1, 452, 368 and 217 engage in a great battle up front. 217 leads at halfway. 555, 70 and 178 come to grief in turn 2. 20 puts a hit in on 595 into turn 3 in the closing laps. Lee takes a popular victory. That's it from me folks. Nic will bring you the details from the GN 👍

Heat Three Happenings 307 leads away. After the opening laps sort out amongst the 'B' graders 300 takes the lead. 36 & 555 are moving to the front, with 368 looking to be the quickest red. 555 takes the lead at 5 to go. 216 sends H318 & 283 to the fence in turn 3 with a big hit. Caution to clear H318 to safety. Within a lap of the restart 8, 36, 217 and 178 pile up in turn 1. At turn four 175 & 300 tangle leave Karl stopped on the outside. Coming to the line 526 just pips 515 on the exit of turn 4 to get the position.

Heat Two Happenings 79 leads away. 219 & 79 lock together in turn 4 coming to the green. 283 spins in turn 2. Caution to sort 219 & 79. 178 leads. 120 moves 216, H229 & H318 aside into turn 3 with a big hit. 178 retires with a flat right rear. 1 into the lead. A processional race over the remaining laps with the exception of a 217 on 20 challenge in turn 3 coming to the flag.

Heat One Happenings 307 leads away. 219 goes around in turn 4 coming to the green. H248 does likewise on the next lap. 300 retires with a flat front right. 269 is chasing down 307. 452 passes both to take the lead through turn 3. 8 & 555 are moving through the field. As the laps wind down JJ has closed the gap to 452 and with another lap would have had a chance of the victory. 120 & 526 trade hits in the closing stages.

Welcome to day 2 here at Skegness folks. Pit News 70 - Aaron Leach using the NFR car today as used by 128 last night. Aaron was using the Ben Howard car which had the starter motor bolts drop out in the Final. This caused it to drop with the positive lead arcing against the cab floor. Upon further investigation the threads have stripped in the bellhousing. Simon has got a painful shoulder which he doesn't want to aggravate by racing today, hence the car is going spare.

GN Notes 128 leads away. Another all action start. 269 blasts through his fellow 'B' graders. As they enter turn one 452, 132, 595 and 221 pile into the fence. At the opposite end 211 and 8 tangle and hit the fence at the start of the home straight. Phoebe's car rides up the plating and demolishes the traffic lights. Caution to sort out both ends. At the restart 128, H229 & H248 hit the turn 1 fence. Simon is left stranded on the outside of the turn. Caution number two. 36 and 555 head the restart and pull away from the pack. Within a couple of laps JJ takes a race-winning lead. 1 negotiates his way past a duelling 216 and 20 for position. H229 joins in with Liam and Jack as Tom pulls clear. The gap to the two 'A' graders has increased and the World Champ does not have the car under him to close them down. 16 puts a hit in on the 1 car into turn 3 on the last lap to advance into 3rd. That's it folks. Back tomorrow 👍
