ONE TIM DOES TWO

Tim Mason did the double at Wiscombe on July 29th with a win and a shared win when he and Graeme Wight Jnr did exactly the same time in the second run off to tie on 35.96. Team mate Tim Coventry chased equally as hard on his 'local' hill to his Falmouth home when he was second and third respectively.

Championship leader Graeme Wight Jnr had a little trouble through the slow corners all day with the Gould V6 but changed his driving style accordingly to draw level with Mason in the second run off.

The weather was stiflingly hot all weekend with the outright Martyn Griffiths record from 1991 being out of reach.

More on Monday, but here are some pictures and the run off results in the meantime. One of them is a 16 frame sequence of Roger Moran approaching the final corner - Martini - on his final run of the day when he hit 120mph between the Saw bench and Martini hairpins. You will be enlightened to know that I risked life and limb high up an oak tree for the shot. aarrrrhh the things we do for the right shot...
