Final Focus 128 leads away. An explosive start sees 47, 164 and 20 ride up the fence in turn 1. Liam ends up on his side. Complete restart. Shortly after the drop of the green 36 is going sideways down the back straight which traps 120 against the fence. 269 gives chase to 128. 16, 48 and 138 clash on the exit of turn 4 which leaves Dave facing the wrong way on the straight. At halfway 269 leads. 368 is the first red to show and moves 8 aside with a hit into turn 3. 269 leads at 5 to go. On the last lap entering turn three 368 sends it in scattering those ahead including the leader. As they both drift wide 178 is through up the inside for the victory.

Tom just managed to ease clear in the closing stages. Up front 132, 381 & 8 were the top 3 for most of the race. Entering turn 3 coming to the chequered 132 drifted wide allowing 381 & 8 through. That's it folks 👍

Welcome to Yarmouth folks. It's great to be joining Nic today. This venue was the first place i ever saw stock cars back in 1973. I was on holiday from one seaside resort of Blackpool to this one with my parents. An advert caught our attention and we called in to see Superstox and Saloons. I was hooked immediately. Not realising BriSCA existed i spent the next three years travelling by public transport to all the Spedeworth tracks including Billinghurst which was not easy to get to. At Wimbledon on New Years Day 1976 i experienced F1s for the first time. This was the SCOTA F1s. I was blown away by the noise and size of the cars. A few weeks later on my way to school i saw a John Hillam sticker on a Ford Cortina Mk 2 near my house. I thought that 229 car looks like those i had seen on NYD. Underneath was a sticker advertising Nelson's season opener on March 20th. I caught the bus to Nelson on that day to witness the greatest spectacle i had ever seen. A 60 car three heat bonanza! I had spent 3 years watching down south when i could have seen so much more closer to home! The rest is history with many enjoyable years spent with all the wonderful people that make up the oval racing family 👍
