30th April 2006 Silver Wheels Cup Sponsored by... Lune MOT Centre MINISTOX There was plenty of action in the first heat of the Ministox. # 163 was put out early into the far bend wall, then # 140 Sam Taylor was involved in an altercation, loosing a front wheel which went under the car sending her into the air for a second or two. The race was red flagged then restarted, # 168 Ike Parkinson was spun out, restarted again and pulled up a few laps later, showing a masterful skill of the universal 'you're a self abuser' hand movement every time a certain other car passed him, I was creased up laughing at him. # 93 Saint II took the win, as he did in heat two. The second heat saw Sam back racing and Ike in the pit bend wall. # 123 Ste Hoggarth had a nasty hit after stopping on the s-f straight and getting hit side on on the last lap of the race. He was OK, as was everyone after another crash in the Final. It was in the far corner and saw a good six or seven cars involved, amazingly they all sorted themselves out and got going. # 94 Joe Corless gotten himself a black flag, but his car was damaged anyway. Then all hell broke loose, in the same corner as # 138 Dave Kellett span out, causing a chain reaction of other cars piling into each other. Kellett was unavoidably t-boned and though he did another lap, he was soon caught up in the wreck again. The race was red flagged and the track cleared. # 107 Jack (Ian's lad) Barton had a few thrills and spills with a spin in the far corner causing a waved yellow flag, # 93 kept his head and out of trubble getting himself a treble of Twisty wins of the day. Ike had a problem with loose nuts and he pull up before his wheel fell off, other than that it was quite a tame race. # 323 Anthony Riley was in the doghouse after heavy contact with a car carrying white & black stripes. The win went to # 232 Stunty Quinlan ending a fun day for the Ministox. Oh and a big well dun to Lil Emenemnem ( # 245 Sam Makim) who gotten himself his first ever trophy, watch out dad, you may need a bigger trophy cabinet soon STOCK CARS Three heats again for the Stock Cars, due the ever increasing numbers of competitors. Heat one was clean and frantic until ¾ of the way through the 16 lap race, there was a tidy pile up in the pit bend taking out at least three cars, the race continued and # 134 Alex Chapman took the win, as he did in the second heat which featured slightly fewer cars and no real incidents. Heat three was another clean affair and # 911 Peter Kaulbarsch was the victor this time round. The final was far from quiet with plenty of cars causing carnage around the track, this included spins and accidents the noticeable spin was that of # 3 Saint I who spent a great deal of the race facing side on at the far corner exit, though no body ran into him. This years Spielberg self race film maker was a Bell who ploughed into the pit bend wall, not sure how his camera faired though. # 80 Glen Lord had an engine blow towards the end of the race and two cars # 330 Mick Greenwood and # 135 Mick Howarth piled, locked together, onto the infield. I figured that it was Mick's fault and Mick was just collected in the accident. That # 134 Chapman again took a win, his third of the day. The Grand National saw another clean race with # 717 Mark Duckett out early, Saint I and # 35 Jason Yeates out later. It was a great win for former Ministox Champion # 342 Dan Wrennall. SUPER BANGERS Dippys Pink car actually did not start heat one of the Super Bangers, though I was more surprised to see # 48 Kevin Chadwick back racing for the first time since that huge follow in in the bangers a few years back, he was in an estate car because 'it has more crumple zone' His car did not finish the race but it remained straight. # 274 David Christopher was out after a heavy shunt, a lap after I stopped filming him!! Typical!! The win for heat one and two went to # 964 Anthony Whittaker, the second heat being a comfortable win with it much tighter for second between # 439 Jay (bionic) Kellett and # 244 Emenemnem with Bionic placing a shunt on the last corner to secure second spot. A huge pile marked the start of the final, Greenwood span in front of the field and everyone piled in, # 100 Diane Potts (her off of Emmerdale Woolpack) almost rolled her red car as she was pushed sideways across the infield, amazingly most cars got sorted and carried on racing with only a yellow flag being put out for a minute or so. # 244 Emenemnem took the win. Like father like son.. Or son like father.. I don't know. # 439 Bionic Kellett took the win in a quiet Grand National. BANGERS Due to some confusion about which class of Bangers were racing, numbers were slightly down. That said heat one was impressive to say the least with # 501 Basher Kaye giving out plenty of damage with his impressive Ford Consul which for me is the car of the season so far. # 619 Taylor had his car destroyed, # 172 Gav Howard was also damaged badly. # 613 had some big air as he was pushed up the ramp of the infield at the far corner. # 501 Basher was also taking to the air a lap later at the same spot only he didn't carry on, he hit the tyre next to the marshal post, pushing that onto the track and the concrete plinth a good three inches to boot. # 511 got a nasty hit after a spin left him nose first in the start finish wall. He was OK though, though a little disorientated and the win was for # 613 Mr Smoothy who had recovered well after his earlier flight. Heat two started of quite tamely with a good tussle for the lead between # 109 Barton and # 110 the latter who later was spun out and reversed into the tyre at the other side of the marshal podium that Basher had hit earlier. And there were hits and spins all over the place. # 15 Shaun Byram kept his nerve and won. A jacking was dished out to # 493 Brian Whitehead in the final and Basher ended up in Malcolm's Gate other than that it was a bit of a rod fest. # 611 David Stansfield took the win. The DD featured only a handful of cars, one being Bashers Consul which was tractored on the track in reverse though Malcolm's Gate. It wasn't long before only two cars were left, this was after a jacking for Basher and # 613 and # 240. Car # 240 and # 238 were the last two moving playing cat and mouse for a few minutes until the win was given, check the results page as I don't have it here at the moment The days results will go up when Angela sends them to me...
