Update after Round 4 at Shelsley Walsh :
The Sun was out for us all weekend at Shelsley for rounds 3 and 4 where we had 100 Championship entries from the 150 entered in the series again this year.
Although the weather played its part the track was still quite slippery after all the recent rain and no new class records were set.
The first of the Championship Run-offs fell to Jack Cottrill from Graham Wynn and Alex Coles third ahead of Johnathen Varley with Jack setting the Best Time of Day in 24.52 seconds. The afternoon Run-off was won by Graham ahead of Alex, Johnathen and Jack.
Alex was awarded the Driver of the Meeting award for his day sharing Kelvin Broad’s Force.
With 4 class wins from the first two weekends Steve Garner and Johnathen Varley lead the Championship with 36 points and Graham Wynn chasing very hard with 33 points.
We next month return to Shelsley Walsh where we are joined by the British Championship.
Attached the leading points scores in both our series.

Prescott event Postponement and revised MHCC Calendar
I’m sure that by now many of you will have read the announcements from Prescott about the postponement of the April 20/21 event, which I attach.
Rain Gods have not been kind to us this year and when I spoke with Gemma earlier this week, we both looked at the weather forecasts for the next two weeks, and it was due to rain for another 13 days of those 14 !
So the sensible decision was made.
In discussion with Gemma and Tim Wilson we have re-scheduled this weekend to 17/18thAugust. I appreciate that it may not suit everybody but I feel it is better than loosing a weekend from the Championship.
Also attached a revised calendar of the MHCC for 2024.
