PREVIEW: WHITSUN WRECKFEST! 26 & 27 May 2024 - 1PM

22/05/2024

Welcome once again to another Bank Holiday, only weeks from the last one, but a keen amount of drivers are here to play for a brucey bonus day off to play on the Sidemen approved Mendips Raceway - over 9 million views of our promoter Jack Bunter looking as a nervous driving instructor!

BriSCA F2

Another trip out for the Europe biggest open wheeled formula, which has seen in the previous 2 meetings racing of top notch racing. We hope that continues in that vein. Last time out, Matt Stoneman (127) took a controversial heat and final double With a lap to go and Stoneman looked on course to cruise to victory and after the chequered, as he, in shades of the 2023 World Final was greeted with a yellow flag instead of the chequered flag. So to the one lap shoot out, and Steve Gilbert (542) got away keenly, a little too eagerly for the steward's liking. Stoneman inheirited the win, from Jon Palmer (24) following a sterling last bend attempt from Charlie Fisher (315). Making it two consolations in a many days - the consolation king

Ben Goddard (895) was victorious and confirming his like of the track was Dan Roots (776) who took another win in the GN

JUNIOR RODS

The stars of the future are coming of age and with some good close racing, its promising with really good turnouts. Max Barraclough (314) took a heat and final double. The Bryant brothers Olly (111) and Archie
(511) had another good weekend, and Charlie Cocks (162) continued his wise old sage routine as with a heat and 2nd in the final. Likewise Tristan Heathcote (429) had another good day with a decent points haul.

2L BANGERS

The Mondeo is the weapon of choice today for today's crashmaniacs, with the top prize at stake a "Wild Card" for the World Final in September - one of the hottest tickets in town. Interest from unusual sources, including a few visitors from East Anglia for predatory look at the track. Lewis Fasey (186) will be looking to getting on the grid . The Wall bangers Jason (86) and Liam Harvey (87) will aim to get on the grid. Liam will be aiming to get in the PRI at the first attempt.
Meanwhile, perineal internet banter buddy of Scott Wagstaff, Abbie Deeprose (962) is using her new found bad girl status to play with the big boys…

SPECIAL RODS

The tin top tearaways are back again for another close quarters action.
The Gentle Giant, Andrew Bresington (278) took full advantage of a battle upfront to take a heat, and the returning Ben Bristow (66) took a heat double. Try as he might, he couldn't catch Stuart Simpson (29) who held on for a fine win.

ROOKIES

The nudge and spin bangers returned with aplomb as normal service resumed as 2023 points Harrison Staples (2) taking the final and all comers. Dad, Barry (23) returned with a superb display in his heat, and followed his boy home in the final. PRI World Champ, Rickie Beasley (67) won on a rare appearance in the tamer form of Bangers.

ROBINS

The wobbly squad return for another display of general instability. Race wise, Matt Dixon (509) took the anti clockwise race. Jerry Weeks (10) did his best Franz Klammer impression to take the slalom, and in the final (name unknown) (3) took the win on the 8. Now for the season stats so far, Jack McDade (87) has rolled the most with 9 of the 45 rolls so far this season. Now as an added bonus, take a wobbler and a wobble box, yes it's Robins + caravans = A cacophony of fibre glass mutilation!!! Z

Next time, its a Banger Midsomer Mayhem, with the Back 2 Basics, and the Unlimited Thunderbolt. When the sun goes down the speed goes up. Keep in touch on the socials or look at Mendipsraceway.com
