Alex Summers wins both run-offs at Shelsley Walsh and Richard Snow continues his class record breaking
Unfortunately the weather had turned cooler last weekend at Shelsley Walsh after the great weather in the week leading up. However that didn’t slow the action on track for our entry of over 100 Championship contenders. With many of the top cars and competitors in Northern Ireland for the British Championship it was Alex that led the way in both run-offs in the DJ Firestorm and set a best weekend time of 23.63 seconds. He was chased in both the run-offs by Zach Zammit, Alex Coles and Graham Wynn. For the third weekend running Richard Snow set a new class record in A (ii) with his Porsche Cayman GT4 RS and leads the Championship on 57 points ahead of Richard Price and Johnathen Varley on 54 points – all having won their class on all runs this year. The next rounds are again at Shelsley Walsh on June 07/08 alongside the British Championship. Updated scores attached , although the Over 65s will be added later this week. Bill

With 4 class wins and 2 new records Richard Snow has 38 points in Class A (ii) with several drivers on 36 points. The surprise, to some people has been the speed of Jon Maycock in his turbocharged Mazda in Class A (ii ) where he is outpacing all the other Porsche’s runners !! Matthew Ryder has started the season with 4 class wins in Class l and 3 run-off wins, only beaten at Prescott by Will Hall and Wallace - with 2 second run-off placings. The Over 65s. score chart I will produce next week after our weekend at Shelsley Walsh, where we have over 90 Championship entries from our total entries which are near 160 again this year ! Live streaming this year of both weekends by Rich, Eleanor, Senna and team has been a great success with record numbers of people watching – at Loton Park over 31,000 and at Prescott 36,000 and more being recorded after the day. Further, will no effect on actual spectators attending in person – Prescott are reporting that they had a record crowd on Sunday. See you at Shelsley where the forecast is more sunshine and great hot weather Bill

All, hello
I hope that you have survived the winter and are now looking forward to
a great season and hoping that it will be a dry summer ?
At last I am pleased to announce that our 2025 Regulations and Entry

Many thanks to them and all our class sponsors, without whom the
Championship wouldn't run.
I look forward to receiving your entry and seeing you during the year.
Best wishes
