Promoted winner James Rygor (783) then took the win, only to fail post race scruitineering for tracking infringements.
Jack Cave (801) saw off a late charge from Charlie Guinchard (183).

In his first race proper – Tom Weeks (100) took a maiden win, stellar in the art of defence as well as attack. He took heat 3 and also took runner up in the final, which went the way of Heat 2 winner Jason Oliver (303) and an instant upgrade to blue.

The robins saw a healthy grid of over 10 cars, with guest appearances from Jack Bunter (128) and Tom Weeks (100) it was more a case of who could roll with it the best.
Tom Weeks instantly got the holiday crowd going with impressive finishes on his roof, mega rolls and the like, leaving Jack Bunter most bemused why after rolling several times himself that he didn’t win a single entertainer award!
There were wins for Aaron Loader (362) in Heat 1 and the Caravans, with Sid “Stella” Harrison (51) taking the other heat and the final!
In the Caravan race, it was little surprise that Weeks and Bunter were first through the static caravan, Bunter even lost his caravan unhitched before the race got going. Come the end of the race Aaron Loader (362) took the win and Weeks was on his roof and Bunter came to halt inside the static caravan

In a cheeky little taster for things forthcoming – a healthy entry of some of the south wests big banger names took to the track. King of the 2l banger down at Autospeed, Terry Hill (133) took a heat, along with Lewis Fasey (186).
Liam Lake (114) made a schoolboy error in spinning Chas (333) in the final as the rest of the blue and silvers Boogie (252) and Roona (262) weighed in with an assault on the Ringwood based driver.
Big Mac (440) was immune to hitting Lake either and joined in the fun! Jake Bond (743) took his second final of the weekend from Heat winners Hill and Fasey. The Allcomers was quite roddy, with Chas staying awake long enough to take the win.
The DD, however, was the stuff of legend. Massive hits and one car just kept on taking it. Tomo Ruby’s (111) indefatigable car just kept on taking assaults from both Boogie and Roona and got the biggest cheer of the day from a packed crowd. Despite being almost self baled, the 111 took hit after hit and just wouldn’t quit – even being able to give a few arthritic shots of its own back. Boogie took the win and handshakes and giggles all around.
