Luton round 9th Febuary 2014

- Main grade Stan Alton beats the Premier drivers in sports, Greg and Mark Harwood share Saloon and F1.

Luton home club main grade driver Stan Alton took a fine win in sports in the Area 6 last Nationals qualifying round as Mark and Greg Harwood fell over each other in the first segment. Paul Harwood had an unassailable lead in the Area championship so left his strap car in the box, choosing to have some fun with a GM Demon chassis car instead.

In F1 Mark Harwood put the previous round's disaster behind him to win his third round, giving him a perfect score. His Paul-painted Williams won the series concours too. The podium was filled with Harwoods, Greg taking second from Paul.

Greg Harwood took a £30 ex-Brian Church saloon car to victory ahead of brother Paul, with Nick Thrower third.

Cliff Bicknell drove away in production from embarrassed home club drivers Richard Hills and David Hackforth, giving him the championship with the perfect three wins (dropping a third from the other round).  

Full results to follow.
