Buxton - Nationals Championship - 9.8.26
The first race of the day was the nationals championship. Alex had qualified on 3rd row inside. He managed to avoid the first lap crashes and was re-gridded to P5 for the complete restart. After some good battles throughout the whole race, Alex brought it home in 9th place
Heat 1 was up next so Alex took his chance to start pole yellow top and got out early to make sure of the front of grade start. An early yellow flag allowed the other grades to reel a little bit closer but Alex held his own and came home in 5th
Heat 2 next and it was a bit more of a stock car race. Alex was running in 6th until the last bend when he was reeled in by 2 red tops who gave him a good pot to sneak up the inside and put him down to 8th
Grand National time now. Again Alex got away but an early contact on lap 4 punctured the outside rear. Despite this, Alex kept his hope of grade award and a few more points alive by keeping going and came home in 13th
Didn’t come home with grade award as he was pipped to it by 2 points. However, a very very good day. Time to give the car a good check over now before the brutal Thursday night at Skegness on the bank holiday weekend.
Thanks to everyone that makes it possible, Dad and Steve on the spanners, all the good luck messages on race day and all the sponsors that keep the fluids topped up and wheels turning.
