Best drive at King's Lynn since moving Stock Car formulas

Wisbech racer Anthony Kerr on Saturday put in his best performance in the 1300 Stock Cars since moving into the formula this season.

Things finally clicked for him and he recorded his first top three finish with a third place finish in the White and Yellows race. Kerr was involved in a race-long battle with eventual winner Jack Wilkins and runner-up Carl Morgan.

Karl Morris will surely be looking at an upgrading to red come July 1. He has made light work of his recent upgrading to blue and has continued to pile on the points whenever he races. He was the top local finisher in the 1300 Stock Car Final with a sixth place. The meeting final was won by Bletchingley’s Will Morphey. Dean Moat was unlucky in his heat when he was in second place and catching the leader, only to find himself given the mechanical exclusion flag for a loose wheel guard. He then bounced back with a fine fourth place finish in his next heat, bu failed to finish the final.

Jacob Downey was unlucky in the 2L Stock Car meeting final which was won by Carl Waterfield when he was spun out of contention when well placed but a fourth and eighth place finish in the heats showed the speed of his smart Audi bodied car. Tommy Parrin was also in action in the 2L Stock Cars but will have been disappointed to only have a seventh place finish in the White & Yellow.

The 2L Stock Cars started with the annual charity ladies race. The race included Sherrie Martin – the partner of Jacob Downey. Sherrie is an experienced performer but made a couple more mistakes than she would have liked en route to a seventh place finish. For the majority of the race though she showed some fine speed and after recently giving birth to Shay it is hoped that Sherrie may now be tempted back more regularly.

In the 1500cc Bangers Lee Horwood was heavily involved for Beacons Bandits whilst both Brad Bartrum and Dan Clarke put in a great performance for Black’s All Stars. Bartrum came home in sixth place in the final and also managed the same place in his heat.

Racing returns to the Adrian Flux Arena at King’s Lynn on Saturday, June 30, for the Unlimited Banger War of the Worlds team event; plus the 2L Stock Cars and Reliant Robins.
