DAVE DUTCH comes out on top

To become the 2012 Isle of Wight car club (SS) Champion

 Rounds 11 and 12 (SS) on the 10& 11-11-2012 

The final two rounds of the I O W Car Club Sealed Surface championship were held at BAE on Saturday and IW College on the Sunday. It turned out to be a titanic battle over the weekend to decide all class titles and the overall sealed surface title. It was to be an on going battle between Dave Dutch,  Dave Goodwin, Toby Allen, Chris & Adam Greenen, Dave Bizzill and John Dutch for the fastest times, but from the start Dave Dutch in his DutchSpeed Modified Mini Pickup set the pace all weekend with increasingly quicker times to the point where he was 1.03 seconds ahead of the next driver Chris Greenen.

This was a massive amount as positions are normally decided by tenths of a second.

It looked like Dave was on a mission to let the others drivers know that the title was his and if they wanted it they would have to catch him first….Congratulations to Dave on a faultless drive all season.
