4 drivers again tonight but no Chris, so we ran 2 x 2 man races with 2 marshals and went thru twice on a different set of lanes. Woody again continued his good form of late to take the win in an almost carbon copy of last weeks racing. Nick came in 2nd again by 4 1/2 laps this time then Geoff took 3rd spot a further 4 laps or so back, and Kev trailed in last another lap adrift.
In the handicaps it was again Geoff doing enough to beat Woody, but only by 37 bits this week, and Nick a couple of laps further back in 3rd and Kev again in 4th.

Open Class - 24th Production Saloon
Some really good 24th racing tonight with a couple of extremely close segments, particularly between Nick on Purple and Kev on Blue. They were never separated by more than a couple of feet but Nick held on to tke the segment by 1 foot - 53.39 to 53.38 !!! Woody came out winner again but only by 6 laps or so from Nick who had a great series of 53/53/53/52. Then it was Kev about 5 laps back from Nick and Geoff. Although Geoff was 10 laps back, he looked good at times with his car rebuilt by Nick/Chris and, again, shows he can compete with half decent kit !!!
Some fantastic and enjoyable racing but disaster afterwards !!!! Woody and I went for a usual beer and natter but decided as we were late we would bypass the New Inn and go to the Dog & Gun, only to find that they were just shutting up as only 3 customers all night.
No beer 😠 🍺 🍺 😠

4 drivers tonight, Woody continued his good form of late to take the win from Nick by 3 laps ish.Then Geoff took 3rd spot a further 2 laps or so back, and Kev trailed in last another 2 1/2 laps adrift.
In the handicaps it was a different story with Geoff doing enough to beat Woody by some 4 laps or so and Nick just 16 bits further back in 3rd.

Open Class - 32nd Sports/GT
Again, with 4 to race we ran a 4-man segmeted final.
Once again Woody isn't getting much competition at the moment but Kev is sorting his new Super Wasp car and hopefully will get a bit closer in future.
Nick is now fastest with Falcon power and was only a lap and half per segment behind Kev, and the same for Geoff behind Nick for 4th.
Some good and enjoyable racing and once again we managed to get some refreshment at the New Inn !

We didn't run Club Cars tonight, but ran 2 Open Classes.
Open Class - Formula 2
4 drivers so a 4 man segmented race with all to count. This used to be Woody's least favourite class but he has obviously worked on his cars and now getting very difficult to beat. He was easily the class of the race and ran out winner with 164.73 laps, some 8 laps ahead of Nick. The real battle, though, was between Kev and Nick, never more than a lap or so between them with Kev having his nose in front most of the way. That was up until the last segment, Kev had a poor Yellow and Nick caught and passed him about half way thru. Kev couldn't get back so Nick ran out taking 2nd spot by just 29 bits with some good nose to tail racing along the way. Geoff was quite a bit off the pace with his car not looking great, a shame, as with a decent car he can challenge for further up the field.

Open Class - G12 Saloon
Again, 4 drivers so a 4 man segmented race with all to count. Once again Woody was on top form with all 4 spread out over the distance. Woody finished up winning and 12+ laps ahead of Nick in 2nd and he in turn was 7+ laps ahead of Kev in 3rd, then Geoff a further 12+ laps back in 4th - the same comment about his car applies as he did look quick at times.
It looks like some PBs along the way, but these can't be relied on as official because segment bits aren't taken along the way (a car finishing a segment on 99 bits would start the next by counting a whole lap when it has only travelled a foot or so to the counter). The overall totals for Nick and Woody are valid though !!

Just 3 drivers tonight, Chris deciding not to race but doing Race Control/Marshal.
Woody was in a class of his own winning all 4 segments and taking the overall win by 10ish laps. Kev and Geoff had a good battle all the way with Kev having his nose in front for most of the way. A very poor last segment from Kev saw Geoff clawing back 2+ laps and taking 2nd spot by nearly a lap.
In the handicaps it was the same story but Geoff pulled up to within 2 1/2 laps of Woody to secure 2nd place with Kev a further 4 laps back.

Open Class - 24th Production Saloon
Again, with 3 to race we ran a 3-man segmeted final but with proper qualifying.
In qualy it was Geoff 1st up he posted a dissapointing 13.52, his car looking not to handle very well. Woody was up next and posted a decent 17.35 and looking quick. Then it was Kev and he looked quick as well and looked on target to take TQ, but a late 'off' and he just missed out by 13 bits.
The race looked like it would be a good battle between Woody and Kev with Geoff way off the pace. And so it proved, Woody and Kev were having some good battles along the way but Kev just had a few too many offs and Woody proved to be a little bit quicker all the way by about a lap or so, but Kev kept him honest and he needed some good driving to keep hold of the lead. It turned out to be a Woody win by 5 1/2 laps or so from Kev and Geoff a further 40 odd laps further back.
New PBs for Kev in all parts of the qualy and racing.

5 drivers tonight, good to see Corky back and Chris deciding to race.
Chris carried on from where he left off and had a good race with Woody for top spot. Chris was always just that little bit ahead and ran out winner by some 4.64 laps over Woody. Kev managed 3rd spot a further 11 laps back and then Geoff from Corky with only half a lap between them. Some good racing and with handicaps applied it was Woody who turned the tables to take top spot, with Corky moving up to take 2nd from Chris dropping to 3rd. Then it was Geoff from Kev with only 3 1/2 laps covering 2nd to 5th.

Again, with 5 to race we ran a 5-man segmeted final with random lane assignments. With Kev upgrading to a Super Wasp it left just Geoff with Falcon power, although at times he looked like he had wasp power. It turned out as a tale of 2 races with Chris and Woody a fair bit quicker than Kev and Corky. There wasn't much to choose between Woody and Chris after 3 segments, Chris had a slender 1 lap lead going into the last. However, Woody put in a storming 52+ segment to Chris's 49+ and so Woody took the win by just short of a couple of laps from Chris. Meanwhile Kev and Corky were a bit off the pace but having a decent race. Kev, with his new SW power, proved just a bit quicker than Corky for most of the way and ended up beating him for 3rd place by just over 5 laps. Geoff was on his own for 5th but put in a resonable show with his falcon power.
New PBs for both Woody and Kev for race totals.

Only 3 to race tonight so we ran a 3-man segmented race. Chris wasn't racing and did Race Control and a 1-man marshal team !!
The track grip was a bit inconsistant and the club car tyres should probably had a good clean, resulting in laps way down on the usual.

Again, with only 3 to race we ran a 3-man segmeted final.
A close race between Nick and Kev. At half way Kev had a 2 lap lead over Nick but a good run on Orange for Nick and a poor one on Purple for Kev saw Nick go into the last with a 1 lap lead over Kev. It stayed that way for most of the way until Nick had a late 'off' and Kev nearly caught up, but just missed out by 21 bits at the end. Geoff was quite a bit off the pace but took the points for 3rd.
