Buggy Races
Heat 1 of the buggies was led from start to finish by Dave Spashett, although by the final round, drivers Craig Summers and Dave Isherwood were beginning to close the gap on Spashett.
Heat 2 of the buggies was a two driver affair, with Mark Dell and Richard Palmer swapping first place. A very busy Clanfield track owner Tony Bolwell managed time to get out onto the track. Some consistent performances ensured he finished each round with the same number of laps completed as the leaders.
In heat 3 of the buggies Rob Rasey, Grant Fibbens and Barry Champion held sway, with Rasey just managing to hold off the opposition to take three wins out of a possible four.
Heat 4 of the buggies was totally dominated by Elliot Boots, winning all four rounds, managing one more lap than all other heat entrants in three out of the four races.
The Buggy C final was yet another close run thing, won by George prior, a mere 0.25 seconds ahead of Hai Chu.
The Buggy B final was almost as close as the C final. Craig Summers finished ahead of second placed Barry Champion by 4 seconds, with Tony Bolwell a further two seconds behind. These three drivers plus fourth placed Mark McDonnell were bumped up to the A final.
Not satisfied with his winning performance in the Truggy heats, Elliot Boots added the Buggy A final to his list of successes. Over a thirty minute race, Boots pulled out a 3 lap lead, running nearly 3kph faster than second placed Adrian Svensson. Boots led for all except the first 3 laps. Richard Palmer followed closely behind Svennson, with a further 5 drivers only one lap behind these two.
Mechanical failure robbed Tony Bolwell of a potential high finishing place, having hauled himself up from fourteenth place after a poor start, to third place half way though the race. Having been bumped up from the preceding B final, two successive finals were obviously too much for his car.

So, a successful day's racing. Clanfield club members put a great deal of work into preparing the track to ensure a good days racing. Sarah Bolwell manning the computer ensured the day's racing ran quickly and efficiently. Congratulations to Clanfield RC Club for making their first regional meeting a great success.
