Warton Champions Dad & Daughter take the “GOLD” Picture of Warton Champions. Proud father Ian Barton with Daughter Jayne The final meeting of the season at Warton Raceway came to an end over the weekend. All the “Gold Top” points’ champions were crowned in each class after what has been a very intense 40th year anniversary season. Ian Barton #106 has been the bridesmaid far too many times in the Outlaw Stockcar class, so to see him take top honours in front of a great late season crowd was a pleasure for many of his family, friends and fans. To add to the celebrations his daughter Jayne took Gold in the Ministox class but made it quite clear she had more points than dad and had secured her title at the previous meeting. Jayne is also a very accomplished horse woman and 26 is often torn between horse jumping events and stockcar racing at Warton. When we asked her which do you like best, fifty horse power stox racing or one horse power show jumping? Jayne wouldn’t be pressed but said: “I say look out Dad, your seat in the Outlaw class is in jeopardy! Come the end of next season, I’ll be eligible to race with the big boys.
