Roger Goring and Julian Webb, jet funny car and Spiderman, put on a great flame and thunder show before blazing down the 1/8th with low 4sec runs, Roger setting a new track record speed of 203mph and Julian on the 200mph mark.

Saturdays first run for Graham Sykes, with the new set up on Force of Nature, endured a wild run but still crossing the stripe at 159mph. Sunday’s run ran much smoother with a 3.64sec run, just shy of his 3.60sec best, at 159mph.

NO MERCY SHOOTOUT BIKES

The 15 bike field eventually whittled down to the final with some close finishes along the way.  Andy Higham made it through on his Deofol 500 with Peter Slater, who’d whisked Sue away via helicopter on Saturday night, made it to the other final spot against some tough competition. Peter took the  win with another trademark wild ride and another 5sec run, by the way Sue said yes to Peter’s proposal!!

6 SECOND CLASS

In the fastest class it was quite amazing that the top three qualifiers were all on 6.12sec passes, Ian Wicks,  Jamie Brooks and Maxine Taylor, with Peter Slater just 1/100th behind on 6.13secs. In the semi’s Maxine red lit against Peter and Ian beat Chris Hodgson.  Peter once again lined up in a final but it was Ian who took a well deserved win pushing Peter to a run under 6secs, a 5.94sec for a breakout.

JUNIORS

Once again last round winner, Maisie Thornton made it through to the final pushing William Mountford to a breakout in the semi and Jack Taylor beating Toby Jackson.  Maisie was quick away on the green but Jack just managed to cross the line first for the win.

JUNIOR SPRINT CAR

Poppy Brook pushed Jude Elliott to a red light to match up against Dexter Wilson who’d gone through on a bye.  Come the final and Poppy had at last got the hang of the tree and was quick away sadly breaking out big style so Dexter took a popular win.

NORA ELIMINATIONS

With a mix of bikes and scooters in  the NORA Championship and based on the shootout formula of dial ins and staggered tree it was Eric Cope, Lambretta, who lined up against Rob Kneeshaw, Suzuki 750, in the final.  Just 0.10 of a sec split their dial ins with Eric leaving first. Sadly Rob was too keen and got himself a red light handing the win to Eric.
