Mod A Final

   

Oliver (blue) would be going from pole with Matthew (yellow), Gareth (red) and Mike in (white).  Matthew ripped into an early lead with me closely shadowing him.  Mike immediately flew off the track in the first corner while Oliver elected to drive his own race rather than risk it all running the nosebleed pace at the front.   And that pace was super quick as Matthew and I went down to the 5.2s before I flew off the track and onto the floor on lap 5.  Matthew hit a 4.9 of his own the following lap before also crashing and Oliver was into the lead.  I had a second crash on lap 8 but was swiftly marshalled.  The damage was done through from the first incident.  

   

Oliver was cruising at the front with a very consistent set of laps while behind him Matthew was pushing hard but a lengthy off on lap 12 saw him lose 2 laps to the leader and that was the end of his challenge.  

   

Meanwhile at the back, Mike couldn’t make white work for him like it had in the C Final as he struggled to keep it on the road which allowed me to claw back p3.  

   

So Oliver cruised to an emphatic win, demonstrating why sometimes you should let the race come to you rather than trying to grab it.  A brilliant drive as he further increases his lead in the club championship.  

   

No Juniors this time so the winners were just Oliver and Andy.  Congrats to both, thanks to everyone who set up, race controlled and put it all away.  Nascar next time!
