2000 Elf-Hill House Hammond S1 National Kart Championships Larkhall Seniors Round 3 4/6/00 A
Day of Drama! Larkhall’s last corner again
provided much excitement and not a few surprises. We hope
you’ve seen the TV so far. More transmission dates
to follow soon. At least one Senior and one Junior round

practice was held on a drying track favouring the last
few able to take slicks: Rogers 39.01, Howard 39.31,
Stoddart 39.39, Sheader 39.51, Conway 39.82. Heat wins:
Sheader (2) and Conway. Repechage: Jarvis, Wright,
Rochford, Trott. Oliver Jarvis was aggrieved to be black
flagged in a heat for allegedly causing a multiple pile
up when he tangled with Jay Howard. This put him in
the repechage, which he won, with more to follow… Susie
Stoddart lined up alongside polesitter Sheader for the
first final, but she looked in trouble and was shuffled
back to eleventh. Andrew Swales was gutted to lose
his grid three position when his engine was slow to fire
after a red flag for a false start. Sheader led
throughout but had to hug the inside line round all of
the final lap to fend off Conway, with Mark Litchfield a
few kart lengths back. Jarvis put in a stunning drive to
come through the field to fourth. In the
second final Sheader and Conway traded the lead until
Jarvis came by both, the three nose to tail. On the
very last corner, Jarvis hugged the inside, but Sheader
gave him a push wide collecting Conway who was busy
trying to drive around the outside. All three took
to the dirt letting a delighted Mark Litchfield and
Matthew Griffin speed past. Jarvis still made the
podium whilst Conway and Sheader got fourth and fifth. Final 1:
Sheader, Conway, Litchfield, Jarvis, Griffin, Doran.
Final 2: Litchfield, Griffin, Jarvis, Conway, Sheader,
Williams. ABkC

Daniel Clarke led for a short time before dropping to
eleventh, leaving an intense battle between eventual

Parker. James Gornall had a magnificent drive from
near the back to third. A Final:
Hobbs, Quinlan, Gornall, Beacroft, Parker, Coles. ABkC
Champion ICA Heat
Wins: Inglis, Andrews, Eldridge, Railston, A. Wilson,
Gardner. B Final: A. Wilson, Langley, Goodfellow,

Inglis only enjoyed a brief period in the lead as Jason
Gardner was just too strong, even although a red flag and
single file restart closed up the field. Martin
Pierce took third away from Edward Pead. A
Final: Gardner, Inglis, Pierce, Pead, Oman, Griffiths. Summerlee
Scribblings… Yet
another chassis number missing, ICA’s Alex Ford
going home with a meeting exclusion. Mark Duchacek was
also excluded and fined in his absence for not returning
at the end with sealed chassis parts for examination.
Harry Soden endured an underweight in the TKM final,
having gone from the ‘B’ to 7th. Fraser
Sheader and Michael Conway were each given reprimands for
the last corner Formula A incident. In FA
qualifying, Jason Williams missed out on 7th
when he forgot to mount his transponder. Gareth
Hession forgot to fuel up his dry kart, Mark
Duchacek was late on the grid, whilst Stevie Morris’
engine refused to fire. Barry Eldridge (ICA) has
withdrawn his appeal from the Fulbeck exclusion. Webmaster: Graham Smith
