Thanks to John for this latest report from the Isle of Wight Car Club. Ed
Round 13 (SS) Fort Street, Sandown
So there was much excitement for the drivers as new venues are in short supply these days, unlike the rain which was the forecast for the day.
Luckily it stayed away in the morning, so this meant that once again the drivers were trying to get the best times they could in the early runs, because once the rain arrived the run times were not going to get any faster.
RUN 1
First to set the pace was John Dutch in his mini with a time of 59.48 sec, closely followed by Dave Dutch on a 59.93 sec, then Andy Williams on 61.21 sec, Chris Greenen on 62.21 sec, Daniel Kozakewycz on 63.15 sec, Toby Allen on 63.71 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 57.89 sec and then Dave Goodwin on a 59.33 sec, followed by Chris Greenen on a 60.03 sec, then Andy Greenen on 61.67 sec, Ricky Sheppard on 61.92 sec, Vicky Cox on 62.13 sec.
RUN 3
Once again saw Dave Dutch setting a new pace of 55.98 sec for all others to follow, John Dutch gave chase with a 57.89 sec, followed by Dave Goodwin on 58.41 sec, Toby Allen on 58.93 sec, Andy Greenen on 59.71 sec and Dan Morgan on 59.88 sec.
RUN 4
Saw Dave Dutch set a new FTD time of 55.27 sec, hot on his heels was Toby Allen on a 56.75 sec then Dave Goodwin on 57.34 sec, John Dutch on 58.55 sec, Dean Long on 58.83 sec and finally an outstanding drive by Kevin Richardson with a time of 59.24 sec, to give him his best overall position of the season so far.
RUN 5
Saw heavy rain arrive with strong winds, resulting in the track flooded and track markers and timing equipment blown over leading to the top ten on the leader board calling that it for the day knowing that there was little chance their position would change.
Congratulations to Dave on a great drive and his Fourth Overall win of the 2013 Season
