1995

Another disappointing turn out, particularly from the Europeans, questions the value of this title but take nothing away from Harry Sayell whose performance was entirely dominant and must leave many of the others scratching their heads wondering what they can do.

The time trials saw Sayell on pole with a time of 16.76 seconds followed by Klaus Kilianski on 16.87 and Nic Grindrod third based on unofficial times after he broke down during his 'proper'run.  The second row was completed by another German, Werner Demundt. 

The race was stopped after four laps when Demundt spun and blocked the entrance to the start finish straight.  There-stai-tsawSay,ellholdoffastron@challen-efrombothKilianskiandGrindrod, Harry gradually pulling out a small lead over the German's Dastle.  The front runners' pace was so rapid that they started to lap the tail enders on lap four but by lap 15 Kilianski started to fall back with engine problems leaving Grindrod to give chase.  Sayell pressed on as Grindrod started to experience fuel pressure problems, dropping back to fourth at the flag.

The East of England Championship was the feature race on the Monday and it was back to business for the English lads after the non points scoring races on the Sunday.

Nic Grindrod took the Championship win in the 20 lap event using a fuel pump loaned by HarrySayell.  Sayell joinedGrindrod at the front of the pack on lap 6 but the youngster firmly resisted all attempts made by the new European Champion to overtake.  Stuart Haynes and Klaus Kilianski did battle behind in 3rd and 4th whilst the outgoing Euro Champ., Toni Scheepens fought with Gordon Pooley for 5th and 6th.

The consolation race later in the day saw Grindrod's second win the day, this time from Haynes, Sayell and Kilianski.  This concluded the weekend's racing, just the two races on the Monday following a long delay as a driver in the Stock Cars was freed from his car badly burned and this caused our third race to be cancelled.
