Easter Thunderball Results

What can I say! Wow! What a weekend! Awesome weather, awesome people, awesome atmosphere and some truly amazing racing!

We saw some of the closest qualifying for years with just thousandths separating the top three in VW Sportsman and the number one spot in VW Pro changing it seemed like every session!


Beanie by Gwynn

Carnage in VW Alternate Engine saw Matt Attwood break his V8 engined Type Three, repair it, only to break it again just two runs later! It looks like Matt will have to invest in a stronger gearbox to handle the extra traction from his new slicks, not to mention the power from his new supercharger!! Sadly the same will be true for Stretch as the newly laid startline took it's toll on the gearbox in Beetelgeuse, on the first run! Sounds like Paul at club sponsor Bears Motorsport Transmissions is going to be busy!

The racing was as close as ever with Chris Bray beating Jacob Bailey by just 0.002 of a second to take top front wheel drive and top watercooled spot, only to lose to his nemesis Paul Herbert in the Fantom Beetle by just 0.06 seconds in the next round!


Bude's Deetle by Gwynn

Matt's demise in Alternate Engine meant it was effectively settled in the semi with Beanie beating Huggy to get the bye in the final.

VW Pro was similar with Dude and Glynn both getting Bye's in the first round after Stretch's breakage.

VW Pro was oh so close with Dude just pipping Glynn to the top spot as Glynn broke out by the tinyest margin of less than 0.1 second!

VW Alternate Engine went predictably with Beanie taking his bye run by the balls and running a personal best 13.36 in his bay window panel van!

Fair play mate, what a way to run a Bye!


Pauly's "Fantom" by Gwynn

As Paul lined up against Graham in the final the scene was set for a tense ending to a great weekend, and they didn't disappoint as Graham looked to have it at the top end but it wasn't to be as Paul took the win on another TINY breakout of 0.02 seconds!

It really was a great weekend, one of the very best, find the updated points at the Current Points page :)
