Blackpool BSL Report by Peter Donely

Sunday 16th August saw the BSL come to Blackpool slot car club with a very encouraging entry of 25 racers. This meant there were 7 finals, with 3 in the bottom 3 groups.

The G final was won by Blackpool’s Jade Slater from Mike Ogden and Callum Wood.

The F final was a closely fought contest between Blackpool’s Harry Shepherd and Fylde’s Barry Schofield with Barry winning by a few parts in the end.

The E final saw Teesside’s Glenn Atterton make his BSL debut.

The D final was won by David Sargent, Chris Morton, Chas Keeling and Damon Ryland was also in this final.

The C final saw Paul Jennings take a convincing win from Geoff Snaith whom pipped Peter Donely by 4 parts in the end. Gordon Dickson decided not to run in this final after having car problems throughout qualifying.

The B final saw Teesside’s Pete McKendrick make a very impressive debut on this track getting a 30 lap run to make this final and pick up best clubman. He came 3rd behind Ian Fitzpatrick and top falcon runner Barry James. Norman Fawcett was 4th in this race.

Now to the A final. Paul Shepherd won this one from Martin Ellis, Steve Sargent & Richy Kettleson. This was also Richy’s first time on the Blackpool track.

The afternoon’s team race saw 13 teams enter, Lad and Dad’s Anthony Jennings being the only racer not to have raced in the morning’s individual class. Little and large (Martin Ellis and Gordon Dickson) won the race from Lad and Dad (Paul and Anthony Jennings) and team Betta (Ian Fitzpatrick and Peter Donely) were 3rd. Cursed (Barry Schofield and Damon Ryland) were 13th (unlucky for them) after having car problems in their first segment.
