Wessex British Un-Modified Race Day 4th July 2010

A fair and warm day made for great racing.

WS77 after having fun on Saturday in the open. Wayne and the boys get stuck in,

Wayne was driving his Class 7 Mini which managed 1 race before it destroyed the drive chain getting a 3rd place.

He also raced the Micra, getting a hard fought 2nd place in Class 2 and then the head gasket failed.

There, that looks better, amazing what a handful of cable ties can achieve!
Chris pulled out of the 1st heat with a fuel problem, but finished third in the 2nd heat after leading for most of the race, but did not qualify for the final.

Mark had another trouble free meeting with the Nova, getting a 5th place and a 4th, but did not qualify for the final.

Jon Young in the Class 4 Mini had three 2nd places.

Nigel getting ready for the racing.

Tyler, making it look easy, Heat 1 1st / Heat 2 1st / Final 1st, and a trophy!
2nd in the un-mods.

Nigel and the Micra, 3rd in the first heat, but starting to miss-fire a bit. 5th in heat 2 and not running properly, and 8th in the final. Need to look at the electrics to see what's causing the problem.

Caroline, who shares the car with Nigel, got three 2nd places and a trophy, even with the car not running right.
Nice one Caz!

Very quick Micra with some serious intake manifold and carb set up.

Ray's Micra with some battle damage from saturday, did not realise that the steering rack was damaged as well, but managed 1st in Heat 1, and then the rack let go and had 2 DNF.
