Rallycross superseries at Croft
Well just got back after an excellent days action through all the classes which I used to think the Minicross was boring at one point but todays action has changed my mind.
The organisers put on an excellent event even with the supposed European entries not coming over I feel the event was a success with over 80 entries and it all ran like clockwork. That 206 of Bellerby's is one awesome piece of kit and The Clio's looked good also. Congrats to Steve Hill who's Evo 3 wasnt that far off the pace and provided good racing right upto the final. I was sorry not to meet a few people I was supposed to but was spending a lot of the day enjoying the racing and the sun. Finally a very well done to Darlington and DMC and the Rallycross superseries for making this event run without any problems and to the marshalls for making sure the cars that had gone off where recovered so quick |

had a good days racing in the Audi won my first heat and was third fastest overall , but then it went slowly downhill . Had a very exciting race with Mike Howlin in second heat which unfortunatly ended in us both spinning out. Then the third heat happened , after fending off a very spirited challenge from Alan Tapscott for the lead , at the end of the back straight on the last lap a little puff of blue smoke and its all over . Result being no crompession and a very sick engine ! lets burn some more midnight oil and will hopefully be at Knockhill .Who says you need to spend £60k to be on the pace in the supermodified class !!!!!
If anybody has any good luck spare lying around which they are willing to part with will take it off your hands for a reasonable price |

Great day of racing and the rain came and made things even more interesting at the end, at least it kept the dust down. |

Unfortunately I missed it as I was watching from halfway up the paddock. It would be a great photo if someone was lucky enough to catch it. The only reason he couldn't drive off was that there were stones holding the throttle cable closed otherwise there would have been no need for the red flag!

Where do I start...
Well firstly congrats to ric horton for coming second in the stock hatch A final and winning the first first trophy for the hortonracing team.  Well I certainly a busy day to say the least and I think that all the other competitors, circuit staff and spectators will now know what my metro gti looks like. In the end I made 8 trips out onto the track during the day between the 2 classes. The morning got of to a real flyer with a heat 1 win, but the afternoon qualifing turned out to be a different story with some very dusty midfield battles. I have to hold my hand up to dave ewin who during the 3rd heat I "rubbed" fairly hard after making a move down the inside of him into the first corner and out braking myself, sorry dave  After qualifying for the back row of the A final the heavens decided to open up just before the race. Great! I managed to climb upto about 5th position before chucking it into the kitty litter when ploughing the first corner and clipping the curb on the inside. mental note "when it's wet, don't touch the curbs" Division 1a was just for a bit of fun and never expected to push any of them home for the win, but i did have some of them off the line though Now it's time to straighten the panels and solve the cooling problem the car has before knockhill si |

could someone please put my mind at rest. i was sitting in the grandstand and thought i heard that dermot jumped the start and received a 3 sec. penalty. If this is true and from where i was sitting i'm sure that tony bell wasn't more than 3 secs behind him at the finish, he drove out of his skin to catch him, maybe something gone wrong with dermots car i'm not sure and may have been a different race if the other two main rivals hadn't spun off, but hey thats rallycross. I have to say that all the finals were fantastic and entertaining. Well done to all especially the Ferryhill lad!!!!!!!!!! (biased.............not at all).
