July 2019, Aldershot Results & words by Jack Hodges
Our one and only meeting at Aldershot this year did not disappoint,
with some of the closest, cleanest and most exciting racing
of the year. The short 350m track did not take away from the
action on track, with overtaking and wheel to wheel racing being
the order of the day.
The Racing: The first 2 races of the day were fast and clean
with all drivers finishing the races and everyone on the pace
from the drop of the flag. Every driver on track was involved
at some point in side by side racing, fighting for position.
The final contained the only major incident of the day, a 6
car pile up in the first corner. Luckily everyone was okay and
walked away from the incident. However, this didn’t put off
any of the drivers from going wheel to wheel once more to win
the final.
Overall: The racing at Aldershot was some of the best all season,
given the number of drivers on one of our shortest tracks. A
real crowd pleaser, showing a variety of side and rear engine
cars of all different designs going wheel to wheel.
Race one: 1st 88 Marcel Berndt, 2nd 64 Michael Beech, 3rd 59
Steve Young, 4th 3 Leon Smith, 5th 4 Michael Sutch, 6th 888
