MAY AUTOSOLO
Sunday, 11 May 2008
Well, what a difference a month makes. Snow and freezing conditions were encountered when we last visited the Concrete Road, this time it was factor 25, water and sun hats!
Twenty two competitors turned up for this the second round of the club autosolo championship and winner of the previous round, Phil Savage was under pressure from the baying army of Peugeot 205's. Craig Jones started the way he meant to go on with fastest time on the first short simple test with Mike Jones and Will Arrowsmith just a second behind. Craig held sway at the front for the rest of the day and even when he made an error on the final test his margin was large enough to ensure a 6 second victory. No doubt the recently fitted LSD helped a little! Brother Josh was closest at the end having a good day in his 205. Alwyn Arrowsmith upheld family honour in his immaculate Mk2 Escort while Will was fast at times but let the the crowd influence his driving style resulting in the odd wrong test! Young James Morgan ahd a storming day despite not having passed his driving test yet and two wheeled his 1,000cc Micra to a solid fourth place setting consistently good times despite an excursion into the undergrowth. Mike Jones was next up, putting his wrong test nightmare behind him from last time but was heard mumbling things about fitting an LSD! Phil Savage overcame heater matrix problems and a watching family to take sixth.
BMC would like to thank all who supported the event and the Chappelle family for the catering and cone service, not to mention the computerised results service! Many thanks also to Robin Relic Moses for running the finish control. Next autosolo is Sunday june 1st.
