Thanks to John for sharing the latest report from the Isle of Wight Car Club. Ed
Round Nine Sealed Surface at Isle of Wight College
With the weather on our side, Round Nine saw an epic battle between the old classic Mini cars of Dave Dutch, John Dutch, Chris Greenen, Andy Greenen, Kevin Richardson, Adam Greenen and Steve Brett with Ryan Munt in his Locost, Dan Morgan in his Sub Zero and Darren Taylor in his Mazda 323 thrown into the top ten mix. Resulting in seven out of the top ten cars being made up of classic Minis.
Once again Dave Dutch was setting the pace for the rest to follow and follow they did with John Dutch, Chris Greenen, Ryan Munt, Dan Morgan, Andy Greenen and Kevin Richardson were pushing hard to keep in touch of Dave and were the only ones to get under the one minute barrier. John and Chris thought this time they may actually catch Dave, but Dave had other plans and set an untouchable time of 56.72 seconds, leaving John 1.24 seconds behind him in second place and Chris 1.51 seconds behind Dave in third place.
