The weather couldn't have been better for what was a packed event with lots of classes, shootouts and one off eliminators to get through. A southern invasion saw quite a few different cars taking to the track, including the Taz Racing gang and some of Surrey Muscle's finest. There was also plenty from the John Sleath Race Cars stable providing some 9 second action! The UK Power Tour hit York, with Dave Billadeau taking the honours. The National Street Car Challenge ran a round of eliminations and was won by John Osbourne in his 100E. This event also saw the first ever Ladies Race, which ran a full elimination ladder and was won by Super Stock regular, Sam Carter Chiles. The mood was dampened in qualifying when Anette Billadeau had an encounter with the armco in father-in-law Bill's Charger. Fortunately Annette was ok, just a little shaken up and suffering a bit of a sore neck. A collection was made by the racers to help fund repairs to the Charger.
Also taking place was the 23rd Annual Ford Shootout, 0-60 Championship, Modders Shootout round 4 and qualifying for the Northern Drag Racing Championship. |
