Mod C Final 

   

Mike (white) was on pole for this one with Pete (blue), Rob (yellow) and Jerome stepping up into red.  Weird that red was so unpopular!  Mike had had a nightmare in his final heat with stripped gears so had plonked another car on for the finals.  


Mike immediately put his car on the floor on lap 1 which left Jerome in the lead and Pete in 2nd.  Rob then crashed on lap 2 which left him stranded at the back.  Pete’s Bulldog had looked off pace all night and Jerome was easing away by around 0.5 seconds per lap.  Huge for a lap of this length.  

   

But all eyes were on Mike whose car was absolutely lighting up the timing tower with some astonishing laptimes. Five 5.2 second lap times in a row were then eclipsed by a pair of 4.9 second laps and 4 consecutive 5.0 laps. What was this monster that Mike had unleashed!  Had he forgotten to put Pro4 magnets in it!  

Even with a big crash on lap 16 that nearly chinned Kevin, no one had an answer for Mike’s pace as he rinsed the field and took the win.  Jerome in 2nd, Pete 3rd and Rob in p4.
