Warden Law TKM ABkC Round 4: 3.7.05

NEWSLETTER

With two rounds to go, Jesse Smart is hanging on at the top of the Junior TKM points table from Daniel Graham and Will Waterman, but it was James Dixon who showed the rest the way home, for his best result of the year. Despite being lapped after a tangle, Scott Malvern is ahead overall in Extreme, with this round’s winner Adam Constable rushing up and looking strong in second.

Ayrton Pankiw is looking good in Inters, although Mark Hobson won at Warden Law. The senior 4-strokers table is very close between Paul Granger, Simon Mills – after his win – and Alex Shackleton, whilst Tom Truscott was just pipped for the maximum points score by winner Michael Cox.

Tal-Ko Formula Junior TKM 4-stroke

Heat winners: Tom Truscott x 2, Rhys Jenkins.

A Final: A typically fine drive, reminiscent of 2004, for Michael Cox as he protected his lead from the closely following Jenkins, Oliver Bourton and Danny Osborne. Kieran Vernon dropped almost to the back with a problem, then recovered to 6th, passing the points leader Truscott on the way.

Results: Cox, Jenkins, Bourton, Danny Osbourne, Joel Saunders.

North East noises

A second rolling lap gave Extreme runner Charles Bonsey the chance to restart his oiled up motor. He converted the opportunity to 2nd.

The senior 4-strokers reported quite high tyre wear at the circuit. But overall Karting North East’s circuit was very well received by the TKM ‘circus’.

The next TKM round is on 21st August at Larkhall.
