The final round and the winners spot still up for grabs by Peter or Jim. We welcomed a new member, Luke from Petersfield, he found us on the internet - Welcome to the club Luke.
Scores had a 1 single point error, but it did not affect the outcome, though Luke did lose a point.
Just to show there are more winners than just Peter and Jim, Keith won Hornby WRC with a convincing 35, for him things could only get worse which they did. Peter was best of the rest with 28. I was using Jason's 4WD
Peugeot, it is very forgiving and gets me points because of that, but it cannot get over the yoghurt outrage and made heavy weather of the blue lane, many thanks Jason.
Jim's 34 in Carrera GT was a 6 point win over Peter. This class are different to drive and many people will be glad to see the back of them, I don't mind them which is strange as they get me very few points.,
Cráp F1, is another hate class of many, The kitchen cupboard has nothing to offer but sadness and I have always been astonished at how well I have done. And the class winner was Peter with 33, Wes got in on the act with a 2nd place with 31, despite a couple of 5s' Jim could only total 17 and was beaten by everyone except Luke and TONY ?? !
So at the break Peter was looking good with 89, Wes was 2nd with 80 and Keith 3rd with 79, Jim was not where he needed to be to take the championship, one of the 2 remaining classes was the open class, a Peter speciality. Talk was of Luke's job near Petworth, and Tim's dirty away trip to Maidstone.
Peter continued to bang in the nails with a win with 35 in Fly Classic, Tony suddenly came into play with a runner ups 29, well clear of everyone else including Jim who was beaten again by Wes. It must be said that by this stage Wes had taken his Alonso strategy to a new level with "Ooh dear, I have not brought my correct cars, may I borrow one of your winning cars Peter?" All in all it wasn't looking good for Jim's hopes of winning the championship.
Not sure what happened with Keith in the Open Classic, but he slumped to 10, the nights lowest score. Peter won as predicted with 33 followed by Jim with 30, would this be enough to beat his other challengers?
So another night's racing won by Peter with 157, Jim was second with 129 which meant that he won the Championship - well done Jim. I managed to win the clubmans on the night and the series by a healthy margin over Tim who had racing much better of late, although thankfully for me more on Thursdays. Clubmans class is filling up as the last four series have been won by different racers, this means that Tim, Jason and myself are all well placed to get an upgrade at the end of the next series.
The new series starts on the 19th, meanwhile you can find out much more about scores, points and classes on line on
the Bolwextric site.
