ALDERSHOT SLCC Rd 3

Report compilied by a "stand in" reporter! Ian Finch.

The Yateley crew had 4 new members join in the fun on Sunday Darren Sullivan  Kieran Clift and father Dave and Lex Shanks. 

First round Finch senior posted an 18 lapper to put him 7th in the 19t B final and Ashley post another 18 lapper to  put him 6th in the 27t B final flying start could it last?

Kieran won his H heat Clift senior had a mare of a first round, Darren came home third in the D heat, Lex was struggled with huge power difference to the rest of the heat he was in and it was to continue for the remainder of the day,

Round 2 the Finches stayed on CS 22 to long and paid for it, Dave improved and so did Darren but Kieran  was blocked so did not improve, 3rd and final round Finch senior changed motor and had nothing but total interference resulting in pulling out to leave Dave to go ahead on time Ashley managed to stay in the B Final  nobody else improved .

Finals Kieran was first out he came home 3rd which set him up for the next final, Ashley did his usual trick of not checking to see if he needed to changed crystal so left it till the last minute and missed the start of his first Final, Darren mean time came home second  in the D final Lex was lost still with any power, and that left Dave and Finch senior to battle it out and they did fighting for 5th and sixth in the C final only for Dave to nick it on the very last corner as Finch senior hit the brakes to hard and spun his car for Dave to go through and take the place on the line.

2nd and last Final of the day and Kieran  lost a body pin which sent his dad over the ( Red Bull ) top only to find after giving the lad a good ticking off for not stopping for a body pin to find he had come 2nd overall in his Finals so all was forgotten quickly they kissed and made up.

Darren went out and made sure he was coming home with a trophy to take another 2nd place and the unlucky Lex was still well under power but still just about running.

Ashley remembered his crystal this time and started 10th came home 5th shame about the first final, then up next was the return battle in the C final between Finch in the red corner and Clift in the Blue corner it soon became apparent from the start that Finch senior was not going to make the same mistake again and after 3 laps had the measure of Clift senior by 3/4 of a lap lead and furthered the lead by taking another place,  at the line Finch senior went over 5th and Clift Senior finished 7th

Dave's bad luck continued as when were all leaving his van would not start and had to wait for the AA till 11.30 that night to get recovered home what a day !  5 -1/2 hours good service ?

It was a great days racing shame 2 of our regular crew could not make it Rory and Ian M we are off to the glorious Barham track on my Birthday 9th July, pictures to follow hopefully.
