Smeatharpe Stadium - Sunday 22nd February 2009
Having originally been postponed from 8 February, snow and adverse weather was a long way from the minds of most who attended the re-scheduled Winter Open Championship fixture at Smeatharpe, which was held in winter sunshine for the most part. Just under 100 National Bangers attended the event - the highest number of Bangers in the fifteen years that Autospeed have been the promoters at Smeatharpe.
National Bangers - 2 Litre Winter Open
408 Danny Sherwood won the Winter Open Championship for National Bangers. On a very slippery track surface, Sherbone coaxed his Bluebird home to show there is life yet in the medium sized Nissans, amongst an entry of almost 100 cars, which were predominantly Mondeos.
Stock Rods
There was a heat and final double in the Stock Rods, for 288 Harry Palmer.
92 Adam Daniels took his first chequered flag in the Stock Rods, as he won the Grand National.
Ministox
Despite an impressive showing of visiting drivers, white grader 961 Gary Sillifant snatched a heat and final double in the Ministox, as he made a hugely successful track debut.
This meeting was filmed by DT Videos, using a 5-camera edit, including two in-car cameras. For further information, visit the DT Videos website: www.dtvideos.co.uk
