Seniors Round 4 9/7/00 A
day of showers and surprises threw up some great
racing. Driver conduct was (mostly) exemplary. ¨¨¨¨¨ Hill House Hammond MSA
British Kart Championships Susie Stoddart blitzed pole in
dry conditions to make it one up for the ladies. Only
Michael Conway neared the time, with Stevie Morris, Mark
Rochford and Dean Panrucker following. Wet heat 1,
or dry heat 2, made no difference to the on-form Conway
who won both while Susie struggled. Final 1 Winning the third heat clinched a front row start in the damp first final for Mark Rochford where most drivers selected slicks. Morris, on the second row, struggled and slipped to 12th, whilst Rochford stretched away. Litchfield closed in on the leader but with the track wet off line he could not pass. Similarly Panrucker in third was just able to keep Conway at bay. Final
2 An early fracas sidelined champion Michael Spencer,
pushed Litchfield to the back and dropped Conway to 12th.
Rochford powered away with Panrucker chasing and
catching. Conway set the fastest lap in chasing through
to re-catch the lead group. Panrucker slipstreamed past
the leader at turn one, with Jarvis trying to follow
through but the two touched, sending Rochford off, and
delaying Jarvis. Then Fraser Sheader attacked, pushing
Panrucker wide, who tangled with Lockhart on re-joining.
Meanwhile Michael Conway slipped past all of them to win,
with Chris Rogers following, Jarvis inheriting third when
Sheader was excluded. In the dry, Susie Stoddart came
from the back to fifth. Final 1: Rochford, Litchfield,
Panrucker, Conway, Jarvis, Sheader. Final 2: Conway,
Rogers, Jarvis, Howard, Stoddart, Poyser. ABkC

Formula TKM Heat
wins: Quinlan x2, Davies, Oldham, Robinson, Crockett. B
Final: Hall, Rowden, Godwin, Cruttenden. Jonathon
Davies and Ben Clucas were soon joined by Sam Quinlan to
make a three way contest for the lead. Then Clucas hit a
damp patch, letting the leader away, and reversing second
position, with Clucas nearly caught on the line by fast
catching James Hobbs, A Final:
Davies, Quinlan, Clucas, Hobbs, Lamare, Moore. ABkC
Champion ICA Heat
Wins: Pead, Eldridge, Ellis, Nash, Stoddart. B
Final: Kinch, Railston, Dickie, Andrews. Ed Pead
snatched the lead from polesitter Barry Eldridge on the
first lap, then battled with Jason Gardner to keep it
after Eldridge went wide. Chris Nash came up to
join the party, but the danger man was the speedy Iain
Inglis, scything through from grid 12 to third and
following Pead as he re-took the lead from Gardner.
Last lap and Inglis was in front, with a disgruntled Pead
fourth, behind Gardner and Chris Nash with Adam Ellis
fifth. David Stoddart, who won heat five from the
back row, took sixth. A
Final: Inglis, Gardner, Nash, Pead, Ellis, Stoddart. Trent
Tales… Dean
Panrucker and John Lockhart fined £100 each, and Frazer
Sheader excluded, all for incidents in the F.A second
final. Nutts Corner Round-Up The two
Hill House Hammond MSA British Championship classes made
their annual pilgrimage to Northern Ireland. In
Formula A Michael Conway was dominant, topping practice
and running away with both finals. A good start
from pole in the first kept him three seconds clear of
Dean Panrucker, who was caught by Oliver Jarvis on the
last lap. In the second final, Jarvis had the jump
on Panrucker at the start but could not live with the
pace of Conway, who won by a massive four seconds. Jarvis
had Panrucker right on his bumper. Fraser Sheader,
Chris Rogers and Chris Trott followed them home. Reigning
champion Michael Spencer’s previous day’s win
at the Five Nations event should have set up the points
leader, but a clash with another driver left him nowhere
in the first, DNF in the second. In
JICA, the junior title, Paul di Resta repeated his Five
Nations win with a duplicate in the first Super 1 final.
Ian Johnstone and James Kirkpatrick followed him home,
with points leader Ben Hanley in fourth. For the
second final, a mistake dropped di Resta from second to
fourth, then he was hit by Russell Parkes in the
horseshoe. A protest later penalised Parkes three
places. Di Resta was thus elevated to sixth, with
the final won by a delighted James Kirkpatrick, from
Rodolfo Gonzalez and Ben Hanley. Hill House Hammond MSA British
