Northwood Showground Round 12 USS 13-10-2013

John Dutch Wins Final Round of the

 IOWCC Unsealed Surface Championship

 The weather forecast was for rain by midday and with heavy rain over night the grass field was very wet and slippery. It was most likely that the best times were going to be achieved in the first two or three runs if the rain was to arrive at midday and arrive it did ..

First to set the pace was two new day members Chris Bloomfield and Kevin Dance in there purpose built off road buggy and they were eight seconds ahead of the following bunch of drivers of Andy Williams, Dan Morgan, John Dutch, Marion Saunders..

By Run 3 and still no rain it was John Dutch setting the pace for the men and Marion Saunders for the Women in there classic Minis, both seemed to be in their element in the wet and slippery conditions..

The women drivers were having a good day as not only Marion was doing well but Jemma Western was also putting in some outstanding drives, both achieving their best results this year, 6th overall and 8th overall respectively..

By Run 4 the rain arrived and the course was turned into a mud bath and like driving on ice making it almost impossible for any one to push John Dutch off the top of the leader board and that turned out to be the case and giving John his first win of the 2013 campaign and securing him the class 5 championship title .

Congratulations to John on a great drive and his win
