B Final

   

Isaac’s Viper was sitting on pole for the B final in the red lane while Rob’s Viper moved up into white.  That left Kev’s insanely fast Bulldog in yellow and Pete’s similarly quick Bulldog in blue.  

   

Kev’s rocketship immediately took the lead, Isaac easing past Pete for 2nd on lap 2 and Rob in 4th which became 3rd as Pete came off on lap 3.  The pace was fast with all 4 cars looking capable of the win.  

Isaac and Kev both came off on lap 8, just as Isaac was taking the lead.  That promoted Rob to the front with Kev charging behind him and trying to close him down.  Isaac and Pete were trading blows behind them as well as several times we saw Isaac pass, crash and then chase down and pass the reigning club champion again.  

Kev’s relentless pace saw him ease past Rob and back into the lead on lap 13, the Bulldog was absolutely flying and it seemed almost certain that we’d see a second A final appearance for Kev and car in this championship.  But then disaster in the last few seconds of the race, Kev flew off out of the chicane and across the start finish straight which Rob was barrelling down and heading for the lead.  Suddenly the Viper was off the road as well.  Kev got back on the track for a 10 second final lap but the damage was done as Isaac had snuck through and stole the win from under his nose!  Kev and Rob looked suitably bemused, confused and perhaps regretful, good job they’re such good friends!  That left Pete to bring up the rear as his car seemed to lack those last few tenths that the others had.
