MASON TAKES FULL TALLY FROM WISCOMBE

Tim Mason ran off with BTD and two wins from Wiscombe today with the only runs inside 36 seconds all day at the boiling hot Devon venue. He extends his championship lead, but with Graeme Wight Jnr having rounds in hand, the reigning champion will be getting into his stride in the latter part of this season with his hills approaching.

Simon Durling was fastest qualifier for the first run off and got a brilliant second, but an off after the line of his second class run meant that running repairs were hastily done before he got a 5th in the afternoon.

Martin Groves flew up for a stunning third place in the ATOL which is not the smallest car to get up Wiscombe at all in what was a terribly close run off with 0.31 seconds covering 2nd to 7th.

Adam Fleetwood whupped the 1100 record once more and got some points to boot in the run offs, whilst fellow OMS runner Trevor Willis stalled over the line in the afternoon meaning he didnt qualify for the second run off.

The weather once more was baking hot at Wiscombe which has now got the accolade of being the hottest hill climb of the year for the last three years after being the wettest in the mid 90s!
