Thanks to John for sharing this write-up of the latest IOW Car Club challenge. Ed
A long awaited venue for many as it gave an opportunity to try out a new venue to the calendar kindly provided by Paul the owner.
The track was laid out by Steve and Paul although looked a bit small to many on first viewing turned out to be a great little track with fast and slower bits in it, a good mix.
The weather forecast was hot and sunny and was it hot indeed it was and it was needed as the grass field was wet and slippery for the first two runs but as the grass came off the surface and the sun dried it out the grip levels came up and the run times came down.
King of Knighton sets the pace
First to set the pace in run one was Darren Taylor, known as the King of Knighton posting a time of 1:03:30 closely followed by Brad Cullen in a time of 1:03:64 and then John Dutch in a time of 1:03:84.
Run two saw Steve Stotesbury in his 4WD Scooby getting a clean run without hitting any cones and posted a time of 54:52 followed by Darren Taylor on a 55:59 and then Neil Glasbey with a time of 55:73
Lots more action ensued, see the IOW Car Club website for the rest of the report.
