Thanks to John for this latest write up from the Isle of Wight Car Club. In his own words. Ed
The weather forecast was hot and sunny 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.
RUN 1
First to set the pace was John Dutch posting a time of 66:24 seconds closely followed by Wayne Hole with a time of 68:53 seconds and then Steve Brett with a time of 69:60 seconds, Darren Taylor with a 70:37 seconds, Danny Grist with a 70:52 seconds.
RUN 2
Saw Andy Williams posting a blistering time of 60:94 seconds followed by Danny Grist on a 62:37 sec, then Wayne Hole with a time of 64:95 seconds, Darren Taylor with a 65:70 seconds, James Robbins with a 66:00 seconds.
RUN 3
The track grip was now getting much better and the times were coming down fast and getting closer with Darren Taylor and Dan Morgan setting a new equal joint fastest time of 57:01 seconds with John Dutch close behind on a 58:17 seconds then Brian Robbins with a 58:50 seconds, Steve Brett with a 58:63 seconds.
RUN 4
Saw Ryan Munt come from nowhere to set a new fastest time of 53:83 seconds in his 4WD Subaru, followed by James Robbins with a 55:14 seconds, then Andy Williams with a 55:32, then Dan Morgan with a 55:38 seconds, then Chris Wilson with a 55:54 seconds.
RUN 5
Saw Ryan Munt set a new fastest time that looked like a time that no one else would be able to get close to as the following five drivers were all getting in the 54 seconds band, Darren Taylor 54:27 sec, James Robbins 54:42 sec, Chris Wilson 54:64 sec, John Dutch 54:82 sec, Wayne Hole 54:91 seconds.
RUN 6
THE final chance for everyone to get there fastest time and knock Ryan off the top of the leader board, Chris Wilson got close with a 53:55 sec, Darren Taylor with a 54:23 sec, Wayne Hole 54:46 sec, Brian Robbins 54:65 sec, John Dutch 54:71 seconds.
Congratulations to Ryan on a great drive and his win
