8TH JUNE 2008, AT ALDERSHOT
A large turnout of 34 cars were all eager to try out the new track
at Aldershot today. It was Oval Track Legends first meeting and it was
local driver, Paul Fiore (#516) who 'looked to be at home' in a
comfortable first heat win from Jeff Pritchard (#808). Kev Hughes (#105)
was out in a fresh car, having recently acquired the ex#9 car of Stu
Wright and came home in third. Peter Blundell (#156) was still carrying
the misfire from round 6 and recorded a DNF. Newbie, Steve Jay (#95),
made a good start for a 19th place finish in his maiden heat, which
couldn't have been easy in what seemed to be a hectic race! Trevor James
(#7) punted Derek Hales (#8) out in an accident in the second half of
the race, leaving Derek stranded on turn 3 until the chequers went out
to Paul.
Heat two produced a fresh winner in Richard Poulter (#98), taking his
second career win in Legends. Paul maintained only a second place finish
but the result is under investigation for Richard may be deemed at fault
for Pete Amas (#33) not finishing. They both got caught up in an
incident on the fourth turn when negotiating round a backmarker. Darren
Smith (#76) hit the wall hard on turn 3 with only a handfull of laps to
go and was unable to repair the car for the final. From last place on
the grid, Ian Hales (#6) drove through for a third place finish, only
just taking fourth man, Mike Walmsley (#182) over the finish line.
Trevor went all out to win heat three from Ian and only just did it
coming out of the last bend. Robie Jukes (#22) got his car wide, Ian was
quick to clear through the incident but Trevor just pipped him to the
post.
By the rules, only 24 cars could go to the grid in the feature final won
by Ian, his third points final win this season. Paul had earnt pole
position but was overtaken by second place man, Trevor and Russ Bull
(#100) in third, for a fourth place finish. Martin Heath (#242) soon
broke through from the back of the second pack but lost valuable places
by taking to the infield to avoid trouble with loose cars on the home
straight. Martin's low finishing result of 18th is under investigation
as his car 'missed the loop' on the transponder readings in the evasive
action which put him a lap down
