Round 7 re-sheduled amazing -- Posted by Chairman on Tuesday, February 27 2007
The day started at 7am with 70 drivers booked in and soft ground and rain predicted all day but the track was in a nice condition and ready to be raced onThe cross over (table top section of it) was unveiled and declared a success by almost every one. Only ONE driver made a major complaint and even he accepted others could get over the table top it was only his car that had problems. (although we were aware we had some small issues which we solvced prior to the finals taking place.)Given that the same make of car was leading the A final for some considerable time before a Plug put paid to Si Willets chances it might well have been set up problems that this driver suffered with!We have made further modifications to the table top and more to come on Saturday so we hoipe to have it a million times better!If the last weeks A final is anything to go by, one of the most exciting ever seen at Frankley, with Jon Howells taking a well earned win after Si Willets first fell to a blown plug while leading and Kark jackson the (victim of marshall apathy early on causing him to have to pull in and change a shock at the start of the race leaving him at the back of the pack!)Karl then came storming through the field to second place just yards from the leader with two laps to go when the sheer height of the jumps he was getting brought about his down fall. (broken wish bone I think)Never the less Dave Blakely on his first visit to Frankley took home a trophy for second place , the new plug of Si willets gaining him a well deserved third and the the "WHOLE of the A final played their part in such a fantastic final!Well done lads!Current Track record Karl Jackson 8/308.17 with a current track lap record of 37.17
