WIERD WEATHER & WACKY RACES

Luke Brinton all piling into the back of the crash in turn. This 
left only two drivers in the running and Gill was steadily reeled 
in by Medler who took the lead a couple of laps from home and 
went on to win.

The Reliant Robins were once again a big hit and turned out in 
good numbers to thrill the crowds with the rolling antics as 
the fibreglass machines steadily smashed into pieces during 
the course of the afternoon. One of the biggest crashes came 
in the first race for the Reliants British Grand Prix when 229 
Steve Footer launched Ben Oliver into a big roll with Oliver 
rolling onto the top of the car of 78 Pete Burlton before rolling 
back down again. Footer later took himself out by sliding wide 
into the wall and sending himself into a very damaging barrel 
roll down the home straight. 85 James Ellis emerged as British 
Grand Prix Champion ahead of Reliant racing World Champion
399 Darron Atkins and 553 Danny Douglas. Atkins and Ellis 
won the other races whilst a special award was given to 576 
Colin Aldred for rolling over more of his fellow competitors 
than any other driver. Oliver was crowned the rollover king for 
getting tipped over on no less than five occasions during the 
afternoon but amazingly his Reliant was still able to drive at 
the end of the day’s racing.
