Stephen Harrison got the ball rolling today with a fine win in heat one where he came off pole and despite some very talented opposition made it stick all the way to the flag. Mind you it was close which is just how it should be. Right on his tail came Nathan Baily who also started his run from the front row. Half a second behind was Aymane Yacine who has quickly established a reputation as a fast but fair driver. His drive was nothing short of highly impressive as he started way back in the dungeon that is 12th on the grid. The Mighty Midget Carl Williams ended up in fourth after starting in third, not the way it usually goes for him. Fifth was taken by Sam Babington who began his five laps from that self same spot.
Aymane Yacine took the win in heat five and no great surprise there as he started from pole and given his lack of lard he gets away fast. Jamie Cummings wasn’t going to make it easy for him though and after making his way up from tenth on the grid closed in on the leader until he was just four tenths behind at the flag. Seth James had an unlucky morning in the younger group where he became the butt of everyone else’s mistakes but his afternoon got off to a far better start when he took third in this race. Too good to hurry, Murray Knott collected ten points for fourth which left nine for Jay Rudd.
Which just leaves one more heat before the finals and this proved to be a fine climax as the front three streamed over the line very much as one. Just a nose in front was Ivan May-Jones with Connor Burdett who had driven his socks off after starting 12th on the grid. Now barefoot he crossed half a second behind the leader and a similar distance in front of Aymane Plasticine. Fourth was bagged by Andy Medhurst up from eighth and just a spit ahead of Sam Logan. Note: I’ve used the human spitting distance as I believe Llamas can spit further.
The A final was exciting as always and from the start it was all change. The kart allocation didn’t favour pole man Toby Cook who lost a bit off the start. Rhys Terry had a good engine under him but got caught up in someone else’s incident and also fell back which was a shame as his P2 was a seasons best. Micro Man shot away and off into the lead which he steadily increased to a solid six seconds. Also on the way up was the Mighty Midget who achieved a good second but the star was B final winner Stephen Harrison came all the way up the order to finish on the podium with a bronze. Toby Cook still scored well with a fourth and it was good result for fifth placed Conor Jux-Chandler. Then it was Keiran Tison for sixth , one ahead of his start position. The Cummings’ brothers came across the line a split second apart with Ryan just ahead of Jamie by a hundredth. The rest of the pack were led home by Ivan May-Jones with Rhys Terry, Tom Hill, Aymane Yacine and Nathan Baily completing the order.
