Thanks to the marshals and everyone who set up today's RTV good start
to the year. – Paul Kohler (via Facebook)
Section Seven: Having seen the
other group’s scores from the morning this was the section that appeared to be the trickiest one. And
that’s just what it would prove to be,
with Taryn, Ken, Simon Badge, Will,
Ross, Steve, Mike and Luke Rickard
all in the mix for the win at the start
of the section. Ken was first to go
and was the first to get caught on
the cross axle at the four gate. Simon Badge, Amy, Will and Taryn
Gay would all come unstuck at the nine gate. Luke would be another to get
caught on the cross axle at the four gate, and with Mike picking up a two it would
leave Steve Smerdon and Ross Lillicrap who after both getting clears left with
scores tied with one section to go. David White and David Burley would be the
other drivers to clear the section.
Section Eight: it would come down to the
final section to decide the winner, and it would
come from this group. With but Steve and
Ross driving well all day it was hard to see
where they would be caught out, with a few
of the LWB getting called a high score on
what appeared to be a straight forward part
making the others take note. Ross would be
the first to take to the section, and after making sure he cleared it, left Steve the task of
matching his score to stay in contention. Steve would duly go on and clear the
section meaning that both drivers couldn’t be separated and would take a joint
overall wins finishing on two points and 6 clears. The next lowest drivers were
Ken, Antony Higgins and David Jeffery (no ‘s on end) who all finished on six. Kim
Dobinson and Luke Rickard both finished on seven, the top ten places were taken
up by Mike Clarke & Simon Wheeler on eight
points and David White on Nine. Jess Jeffery
would finish as the best lady after spending
the day double driving husband David’s 80”
special.
