Meeting 3 Race 1. Dave started on th front row of the grid, Kim, now a `yellow top`, started further back in 10th. Kim had a good start making up 3 places within the first few laps, where as Dave had a more torrid time losing 3 places.. Mid way through the race, Kim was sandwiched between 2 cars, & sustained some bodywork damage. He continued racing for a couple of laps, before retiring with handling problems. Dave was able to maintain his position & finished in 6th.

Race 2 Only Dave started in this race, he again started from the front of the grid, & had a trouble free race to finish in 2nd.

Race 3 Only Kim started in this race. He was placed 7th. on the grid. He maintained his position at the head of the chasing pack until he `kissed` the wall when exiting turn 2, then repeated the exercise when exiting turn 4, costing him several places. He was determined to make up as much lost ground as possible in the final few laps & managed to finish in 9th.

Final Both Dave & Kim qualified for the final, Dave started in 3rd place, Kim in 7th. From the start Dave moved into the lead. He had a race long duel with car 21, swopping the lead with him several times.
Kim maintained his place, but was hampered by the stoppages caused by accidents. He managed to finish in 8 place.
For Dave. these stoppages allowed him to keep up his challenge for the lead. After the final stoppage, 3 laps from the end, a flying restart enabled him to go into the lead which he comfortably held onto, to claim his maiden win.

Overall a good days racing with a tremendous result for Dave.
