Reliant Line Up
Although the number of stockcars at this meeting was smaller than last year,
the reliants in only their second open
saved the day with their best turn out so far. Once again R.D.C. promotions
who organise the full size racing at
Mildenhall and Swindon Stadiums, were on board providing some excellent trophies
for the meeting.
In the stockcars, there were no real surprises in qualifying with home drivers
Pinky and Russell Cooper in the
final together with other Urmston, Biddulph and Rugby regulars. The reliants
had some of the most travelled
drivers with representatives from Cambridge, Newmarket, Basildon, Urmston,
Ipswich and Bristol - The racing
proving to be great fun which is what the formulas all about - The first
eight qualified for the A final, there was
also a B and C final held. These were won by Alan Crossland from Urmston
and Kieran Briddock from Basildon,
respectfully.
Stock Car Line Up
The A final was a very close affair between the top three from last year
with each of the drivers
having their chance to be in the lead, it usually being lost in collisions
with backmarkers - The race eventually
won by Martin "Pinky" Cooper, with Mark Chinnery second and Russell Cooper
third - In the stockcars a
non-qualifiers race was held for those not in the consolation or final, this
being won by local white top driver
Keith Harper "Nobby". On to the final, which had been re-started, from the
re-start it was Stephen Farmer from Pinky,
the pair having passed front starters Russell Cooper and Gary McMullen- The
race soon settled down with
Darren Wood moving into the top four- Pinky moved into the lead the rest
of the drivers having their own battles
further down the field at 48 laps- Disaster struck Pinky as his car suddenly
went out of control- The problem
later traced to a broken crystal- soon after Russell took over the lead which
he held to the end being followed
home by Gary McMullen and Darren Wood. At the end of the day, full size reliant
world champion, Michael
Croxon was kind enough to hand out the trophies on behalf of R.D.C. promotions,
a title he will defend on
July 25th 1999 at Mildenhall Stadium.
