Newsletter – June 2024 – Fulbeck Round 3

Heat 1. Perkins led for the first six laps with Sifleet hot on his heels. Whilst Henry, Fowler, Callaghan D. Bury and Stone were having a tussle for 3^rd place. On lap 4 Fowler attempting to pass Henry at the end of the Start Straight spun, D. Bury did his utmost in avoiding him and ended up in the kitty litter. Both were fortunate and got going again, Fowler losing just one place to Callaghan but D. Bury rejoined in 14^th only one place ahead of where he’d started the race! Lap 6 saw Sifleet take over at the front Perkins was now 2^nd and Callaghan passed Henry to claim 4^th. Henry lost out to Fowler the lap after. 1^st Sifleet, 2^nd Perkins, 3^rd Callaghan, 4^th Fowler, 5^th Henry, 6^th Stone.

Heat 2. It was Callaghan’s turn to lead the pack until lap 3 when D. Bury passed him just before the Bus Stop. Both Perkins and Sifleet hung onto to their 3^rd and 4^th spot until the flag. The last lap saw Fowler passing Hopes and Henry to claim 5^th. 1^st D. Bury, 2^nd Callaghan, 3^rd Perkins, 4^th Sifleet, 5^th Fowler, and 6^th Hopes having not raced at Fulbeck before.

Heat 3. The top three of Sifleet, D. Bury and Callaghan had pulled out quite a lead from the chasing pack and would remain in these positions. Fowler and Perkins diced for 4^th position on lap 5 whilst Sloane drove a lonely race in 6^th. 1^st Sifleet, 2^nd D. Bury, 3^rd Callaghan, 4^th Perkins, 5^th Fowler, 6^th Sloane.

Final. It was Perkins who made the best start to lead from Sifleet, D. Bury, Henry, Fowler and Callahan and the rest. Disaster befell Perkins during lap 1 when his carburetor detached itself leaving him hurtling down the leader board and spending the rest of the race hugging it!!! On the same lap D. Bury snatched the lead. By lap 5 a big gap emerged between the fighting two at the front. Behind saw Henry, Fowler, Callaghan and Stone strongly contesting 3^rd place. Lap 7 saw Callaghan claim 3^rd and held tightly on to it. Midfield saw Masson and Hutton fight it out and a little further behind Hopes, T. Bury, Owen and Cox were at war. Novice  N. Caddick had had a great start and was up to 7^th whist his father was documented on the result sheet to have completed a lap in 8.65 seconds!!!!

With 2 laps to go Stone, Henry and Fowler who’d been battling it out had clinched the positions they would score points for. 1^st D. Bury, 2^nd Sifleet, 3^rd Callaghan, 4^th Stone, 5^th Fowler, 6^th Henry, 7^th N. Caddick (N) 8^th Masson, 9^th Hutton and Hopes completed the top ten.

Congratulations
