ELF HILL HOUSE HAMMOND S1 SENIOR SERIES: THREE SISTERS

SENIOR S1 ROUND 3: 6.6.99

The fast very demanding 80mph Three Sisters circuit at Wigan was the
venue for round three of the Elf Hill House Hammond senior Super one series.
Formula A

Timed qualifying for Formula A saw the Tecno of Stevie Morris top of the
time sheet with a time of 42.44 sec from Matthew Griffin's Tonykart with a
42.57 sec lap. In heat one Morris was adjudged to have used excessive tyre
warming on the rolling lap and was put to the back of the grid. He also
suffered a puncture but battled on to finshed fifteenth then went onto win
heat three. The other heat winners were the Fullerton of Michael Conway and
James Wright on a Wright kart. Final one saw Wright on pole with Jason
Williams alongside but it was Morris who stormed through from grid nine to
win, a great recovery drive after his earlier setback. Simon Short climbed up from grid six to second with the front row next in reverse order, Williams and Wright. Final two and
another maxium points score for Morris with Michael Conway in second, Simon
Short enduring the race long attentions of Jamie Green's CRG in third with
Green fourth. Chris Trott was excluded.

Formula TKM
B Final: James Harris, Sam Quinlan, Richard Hughes, Greg Moir

A Final:

Adrian Coles led into the first corner in the TKM final, with Jonathon
Davies and Harry Soden contesting second allowing Coles to break the tow and
speed away. Then the race was red flagged on lap eight when Matthew Forkes
crashed at Lunar bend, the restart seeing Coles win and Davies second on the
road but penalised five place's for overtaking under yellows.

Formula 100C

B Final: Simon Adams, Andrew Gosling, Alistair Goss, Chris Jiggins

A Final:
In the Formula 100C final Stewart Baker headed Jonathan Hunter' s Kosmic
kart and pole man James Mills into the first corner. Hunter led briefy
but Baker retook the lead and Mills slipped through into second and had a
look up the inside of Baker at Lunar bend with a lap to go, but was unable
to make it stick.

Intercontinental A

B Final: Mark Litchfield, David Stoddart, Jason Molyneux, John Lockhart

A Final:
Frazer Sheader took his Vortex powered Tonykart to a unchallenged victory
in the Intercontinental A final to give him a two point advantage at the
top of the points table. David Griffiths overpowered Dean Haddon for second, with Oliver Scullion and Stuart Lippe beating current champion Tom Ferrier. Litchfield made it up to ninth from the B, after DNF'ing a heat earlier. Peter Connors was excluded.
