Graham Alsop dominates at NDOR!

 

The final round of the 'Mallet's Winter Series' at NDOR nearly saw it being cancelled with the track having all four seasons in one day. Eventually a few drivers turned around to go home, but we still had 35 drivers left out of 60 that was booked in. So we had got a race on and the day was getting brighter and brighter.


With the weather condition in the morning, the format for us would be 3 rounds of qualifying and C final 17mins, B final 22mins and 30min A final.

The Final round of the Mallet's Winter Series at NDOR Sponsored by RCDisco saw a great showing of the new Xray XB9. 11 buggies showing up, that was a third of the field.

With local man Graham Alsop (Sloppy) showing that he is going to be a force to deal with this year in the nationals, he has been dominating the series and today was no exchange with him taking the TQ and a 2 lap win over John Holmes and 3 laps over Dave Bailey.

10 Scott Francis 381 [191:9 (180:20) 190:10] 43.03

The A final got under way and that saw Sloppy take off and never look back. John had a lonely run in second place just leaving Dave Bailey and Alex Mortimer to swap over positions at the fuel stops. Alex momently held 3rd place for a few laps only to have his buggy act up with I think was an electrical problem.
