Thanks to John for this report from the Isle of Wight Car Club. Ed
It was a very wet and cold day, but with only one more round after this one to decide the drivers and class championship titles, the competition was getting intense as any mistakes would put more pressure on the drivers going into the final round.
RUN 1
First to set the pace was Andy Williams with a time of 54.29 sec, closely followed by Dave Dutch on a 54.32 sec, then Toby Allen on 54.51 sec, then Dave Goodwin on 54.81 sec, James Robbins on 55.27 sec, John Dutch on 56.07 sec.
RUN 2
Saw many more drivers picking up the pace and as a result the leader boards was changing. This time Dave Dutch put in a time of 53.33 sec and then James Robbins only on a 54.01 sec, then Dave Goodwin on 55.32 sec, then Chris Greenen and Steve Stotesbury on a 56.16 sec and then Andy Williams on 56.62 sec.
RUN 3
Saw Toby Allen setting a new pace of 51.87 sec for all others to follow, Steve Wells gave chase with a 52.45 sec then John Dutch on 52.83 sec, Dave Dutch on 52.94 sec, Dave Goodwin on 53.06 sec, Dean Long on 53.19 sec.
RUN 4
Saw Toby Allen set a time of 51.68 sec, hot on his heels was Dave Goodwin on a 51.71 sec then Dan Morgan on 51.89 sec, Steve Wells on 51.89 sec, Adam Greenen on 52.05 sec, Chris Greenen on 52.82 sec.
RUN 5
Once again saw Toby Allen set a target time of 50.64 sec for the others to reach, Dave Dutch got close on a 51.60 sec with Steve Wells hard on their heels with a 52.00 sec, then Daniel Kozakewycz on 52.20 sec, Andy Williams on 52.62 sec, Dean Long on 53.33 sec.
It was a very close competition for all the top drivers. But Toby Allen managed a super time of 50.64 sec in his fifth run that was enough to give him the overall win.
Congratulations to Toby on a great drive and his win
