The AKA GP was back again at HNMC one of UK leading dirt tracks and venue.

 

The controlled tyre debate could roll on day and night but with all drivers on the same pattern it does lead to closer racing and driver ability will show through.

 

The Club had put in a lot of effort to get the track ready for this event and it was well received.

 

The Event plan was to give drivers maximum track time so 4 rounds practice 7 rounds of qualifying and 30 minute finals with a 45 minute main.

 

Day one practice

 

All four rounds of controlled practice went to Jamie Clancy with Jack Embling 2nd in each round.

 

E-buggy 3 rounds went to Jack Embling and Claus Didriksen from Norway taking round 1.

 

Qualifying would be a three way arm wrestle between Kevin Brunsden, Jamie Clancy and Jack Embling Jamie came through to take TQ from Kevin with Jack 3rd we must mention James Le Pavoux who took a solid 4th and Karl Jackson TQed the last round to take 5th spot.

 

Finals

Semi A 1st Jack Embling 2nd Jamie Clancy 3rd Karl Jackson 4th Rhys Herd 5th Taro Cradock 6th Nick Blackwell 6th 7th Steve Johnson 8th Luke Garrett(fastest 8th)

 

The Main Final was a 45 minute War between Embling and Clancy swapping the lead and not being more than 3 seconds apart for 354 minutes until Jacks fuel strategy paid off doing one less stop than Jamie. Just behind Kevin and James had their own battle, with Kevin taking 3rd by just under 4 seconds.

Jack Embling won the 1st two legs so took the win with Mitchell Booth 2nd and Rhys Herd taking 3rd on round count back from Claus Didriksen.
