| Saturday 23rd June - Bristol Mendips - British Beef All Fords Bristol’s British Beef meeting attracted a good turnout of 35 cars, including 3 Aftermath and 4 Predators from EA. There were 9 Capri’s, and 4 a piece for the Sierra and Mondeo. More impressive were the 18 Cortina’s, including Mk 4’s for 418 Ben Edwards and 502 Kai May with an Estate and Saloon respectively, and the top car, a Mk 3 for 309 Andy Oliver. All out for Heat 1 with 414 James Ellerker starting the action turning 59 Mike Jones up the wall on the bottom bend, before finding the wall hard himself. A pileup soon formed on the exit of the top bend with 51 Wusty and 309 Andy Oliver both involved, 899 Andy Dodge taking a shot off of 273 Alan Cambridge in the mess. 364 Darren Feltham stuck it to 135 James Astell before being done himself by 603 Jon Cooper. 453 jacked 517 Weldon, the former taking a shot off of 79 Twelly, who was done in turn by 452 Lurch. 400 Shinny jacked 452 Lurch before 418 Ben Edwards absolutely slaughtered 96 Brat before 519 Jon Scorse completed the pile up with a heaving jacking on 74 Dave Carter. The reds appeared, and bearing in mind we still hadn’t completed a lap a full restart was in order. As the flag dropped 401 Psycho walled 418 Edwards as 58 Martin Dalton spun 879 Reg Reed. 603 Cooper followed in 7 Jamie Charles before spinning 59 Mike Jones. 879 Wrecked Reg attacked 44 Steve Griffin. 401 Psycho slaughtered 7 Jamie Charles on the home straight, with 400 Shinny giving the already very bent Cortina another big hit, with the waved yellows appearing for 603 Cooper, with a hand injury. 401 Psycho walled 58 Dalton as the green flags appeared again, with 418 Ben Edwards also finding the wall courtesy of 400 Shinny. 83 Bevan stuck it to 400 Shinny as 401 Psycho took a full contact victory with just four going the distance. 1st 401 Steve Hemmings, 2nd 502 Kai May, 3rd 83 Andy Bevan, 4th 400 Kevin Shinn Down to 24 for Heat 2 and it was explosive stuff once again.

A pile up began to form on the bottom bend this time with 519 Jon Scorse hitting the wall hard, and 899 Andy Dodge and 401 Psycho also involved. 879 Wrecked Reg dish out a big t-bone to 309 Andy Oliver in the pile up. The reds appeared to clear the track, and 16 took part in the restart. 400 Shinny followed in 364 Darren Feltham with 83 Bevan walling 300 Ayles and 602 Cooper with the latter recovering to t-bone 309 Andy Oliver on the bottom bend before taking a shot from 300 Ayles. 58 Dalton got caught up in the pile up and was lengthed by 400 Shinny as a result, with 830 Finchy giving Shinny an equally big hit. 44 Steve Griffin stuck it to 517 Weldon infront of the starters box and was nailed by the lively 83 Bevan with only four going the distance once again. 1st 51 Jon Worsencroft, 2nd 49 Rob Bevan, 3rd 83 Andy Bevan, 4th 502 Kai May A good field of 24 once again for the Final with 401 Psycho spinning 502 Kai May and 79 Twelly doing a similar move on 414 James Ellerker. 401 Psycho dished out a massive hit to 29 Dave Dalton with 5 Spike gamely giving the Mondeo a big hit in his Sierra before 502 Kai May turned round and stopped Psycho. 83 Bevan followed 74 Dave Carter into Psycho leaving 315 Jason Ayles nowhere to go, which allowed 517 Weldon a big hit on the Sierra Estate. 74 Dave Carted t-boned May off the centre before 83 Bevan jacked 51 Wusty, with 59 Mike Jones finishing off the 51 car en- route to the win ahead of Bevan and Mills. 1st 59 Mike Jones, 2nd 83 Andy Bevan, 3rd 404 Rob Mills, 5th 44 Steve Griffin, 6th 74 Dave Carter Just 4 came back for the DD with a lot of racing before 44 Griffin walled 400 Shinny, the latter coming across the Fig 8 to finish 300 Ayles, before expiring, leaving 44 Griffin as the last car running, although Griffin nailed Shinny, a move which got the Anglian going again, although it was Griffin who took the win Last Car Running – 44 Steve Griffin Drivers List 5 Mark Kelly – Sierra 7 Jamie Charles – Mk 5 Cortina Est 9 Adam Elias – Mondeo Est 29 Dave Dalton – Mk 5 Cortina 44 Steve Griffin - Capri 49 Rob Bevan – Sierra 51 Jon Worsencroft – Mk 5 Cortina 58 Martin Dalton – Mk 5 Cortina 59 Mike Jones - Capri 74 Dave Carter – Capri 79 Ricky Twell – Mondeo Est 83 Andy Bevan – Capri* 96 Liam Brinton – Mk 5 Cortina 135 James Astell – Mk 5 Cortina Est 273 Alan Cambridge – Mk 5 Cortina* 309 Andy Oliver – Mk 3 Cortina 315 Jason Ayles – Sierra Est 364 Darren Feltham – Mk 5 Cortina Est 400 Kevin Shinn – Mondeo 401 Steve Hemmings – Mondeo 404 Rob Mills – Mk 5 Cortina 414 James Ellerker – Capri 418 Ben Edwards – Mk 4 Cortina Est 452 Anthony Sleeman – Mk 5 Cortina 453 – Mk 5 Cortina 502 Kai May – Mk 4 Cortina 517 Scott Weldon – Mk 5 Cortina 519 Jon Scorse – Mk 5 Cortina Est 558 Martin Edney – Sierra 602 Shaun Cooper – Mk 5 Cortina 603 Jon Cooper - Capri 830 Christian Finch - Capri 879 Reg Reed – Capri 899 Andy Dodge – Mk 5 Cortina 902 Tony Lowther – Capri |
