Demo Derby and Street Race 10th November 07
Glorious weather for the third event of the West Coast Speedway calendar and this event featured the Coast Toyota Demolition Derby.
The drivers got two chances to race with the initial street race and then the last event of the day was the demolition derby.
All cars must 'touch' any car they are passing so there was plenty of action in this race. When the field is depleted to a few cars the track area is shortened using two stock cars to mark the area available resulting in mayhem in a restricted place.
The last car still mobile and the winner was 37 Darren Goulding and second 21 Gill Simpson.
Other classes racing were:
Youth Ministocks:
Dave Houston is a new driver to this rapidly growing class and performed well. The more experienced youth drivers showed their skills as usual and the event was won by Sean Brown.
Results
1 - 14GM Sean Brown 15 Points
2 - 18GM Sarah Bellis 14 points
3 - 48GM Jayden Gerrard 12 Points
Production Saloons:
Good racing from this class with Gill Simpson showing he can handle a Production Saloon as well as a derby car with three first places.
Mike Harris was next with three second placings.
1 - 22 GM Gill Simpson 18 points
2 - 95 GM Mike Harris 15 points
3= 16 GM John Hope 10 points
3= 88 GM Nick Petch 10 points
Modified:
Modifieds have been a welcome feature of all the meetings this season so far and provide fast action.
Natasha Rodgers from Christchurch came over to check out some modifications an her vehicle but unfortunately did not last the day.
1 - 7 GM Steve Thompson 14 points
2 - 32 GM Iain Whyte 13 points
3 - 5 GM Brandon Parkinson 9 points
Stock Cars:
Very close racing in this class with only one point between the first three placings of Dave Terris, Jason Tasker and Jason Smith.
Watching this class in action is an indication of the amazing spectacle we will have with the South Island Stock Car Championship on 8 December.
1 - 48 GM Dave Terris 24 points
2 - 33 GM Jason Tasker 23 points
3 - 43 GM Jason Smith 22 points
