Horton shows his colours

Added: 2nd April 2008

The Stock Hatch class was the best supported here and featured both B and A finals. The B final also contained the lone Minicross car of Kris Hudson who ran away with the race win.

Second on the road, but best of the Stock Hatch cars and winning a place in the A final was Adrian Love who finished well ahead of Stephen Cork. Jason O'Donovan took a steady run into fourth place while Bob Ward, Bob Hardie and Mark Strange were closely matched in their race for fifth place. 

The A final also had a clear winner as Richard Horton sprinted away from pole position, established a useful lead and took the win ahead of a frantic battle for second place.

Darren Clark initially held second but was pursued throughout by Dave Martin and Craig Brown. Brown put in a good charge in the last couple of laps and worked his way up to second place, Clark slipping back to third but remaining ahead of Martin.

Phil Chicken was fifth here with Love sixth. Gary Johnston had been close to the second place duel before being forced to retire his car in the second lap while London-based Pole Slawomir Woloch was a non-starter after the engine in his Peugeot stopped on the grid.

The Junior final was won by Thom  who led from the start and held move free of Gwynne, Thompson and O'Brien - the latter falling back after suffering a puncture - and Hudson.

Chris Langley was the only starter in the championship's new Supercar class and easily won the combined Supercar/SuperModified A final. Behind Langley, Ray Morgan enjoyed his first event for several years and won the SuperModified class with his Escort. David Brown claimed second place with his Mini, Mark Watson losing time when his Ford Focus stalled on the grid and then also suffering a mid-race spin. Nick McAdden was set for second place to Morgan until suffering gear selection problems in his Corsa and slipping to fourth place.
