LRP Carpet Wars, round 3

Helger Racing have the full report on the recent running of round 3 of the LRP Carpet Wars. The event played host to 3 touring car classes, Stock, 19t and modified and in Stock it was Elliot Boots all the way, who managed to take both the TQ spot as well as win the overall event. In 19T, Mark Stiles took the win after a close battle with TQ Nathan Parker, who eventually finished 2nd, whilst in Modified class Glenn Doman was unfortunate after taking the TQ spot and one final leg win but a 9th place in leg 1 meant that he couldnt do better than 3rd and so Keven Brunsden took the overall win ahead of Andy Childs.

Redmond & Evison win Southport Indoor NW GP

Southport Indoor NW GP

At the recent annual North West indoor GP held in Southport the drivers were greeted with a highly technical and well laid track including a wall ride, which seems standard at indoor off buggy races these days. 55 drivers had turned up for the event and in 2wd it was Stuart Mahon who took the TQ spot whilst in 4wd it was Mark Redmond who took the pole position. In the 2wd race, Mahon stormed off into the lead but a crash, whilst passing a back marker, damaged his car and he could only claim 4th whilst Chris Evison took the win. In 4wd it was Redmond all the way and led from start to finish to claim the race win ahead of Barry Weldon.
