A Main E Buggy A1 & A2 

Field started off with a good clean start meaning Jonny & Paul were battling really closely and Jonny & Paul swapping 1st and 2nd spot but mid race we saw Paul made some errors which cost him lot of time let Jonny get away which meant Graham Alsop close the gap through out the race to Paul Crompton but Paul was able to gap in slightly so he was able to gap away but Jonny Skidmore was able to Take Win In LEG 1 Ahead of Paul Crompton and in 3rd Graham Alsop. Leg 2 was off and away and this leg saw so many changes to the lead so Jonny was leading it until big crash on lap 1 which saw him dropped few places but he did again on lap 2/3 which saw him back of the pack which saw Paul Crompton leading he made some more errors which saw Graham Alsop take the lead so he was able to keep very big gap to 2nd but Jonny retired about 6mins so his chance of winning today A Main has gone but nothing really much changed either way part from Graham Alsop was able to win LEG 2 and he finished 20.6 seconds ahead of Paul Crompton and with Erik Lykke in 3rd. 

 

Truggy A Final 

Final Has Started underway and top 5 got away cleanly and very close battle started to shape up between  Thorne ,Austin ,Chew and every lap there was a lead change pretty much or 2nd or 3rd changed about after the first stops Joe Chew had a issue with his truggy which put him out of the race so it was beetween Thorne, Austin for the win and with and with 15mins to go we lost our leader Daniel Thorne SWORKZ and he had to retire due to an issue with his car but but Daniel Austin was able to stay in lead and able to take the win and won by 34 seconds ahead of Team mate Chris Carlisle in p2 TEKNO and Charles Krontiris TEKNO p3.
