If the Dial Your Own brackets weren’t tough enough, how about the .90 classes? Pete Creswell qualified number one with a 8.9001 in Super Comp, didn’t run more than 0.03 away from the index through four rounds of eliminations and nudged out Martin Curbishley with a 8.919 to a 8.924 in the final match up.
The Paul Marston Racing School Monza, this time in the hands of Dave Catton in Super Gas was a way away from the front of the pack in qualifications. But with a tight field, racecraft tends to stand out, and coupled with a bit of luck can prove to be unstoppable. The luck came in the first round with a lesser breakout than Matt Eley by 0.0001 of a second, and was followed by a close to dead on 9.901 to defeat Stuart Morrice, a 9.936 to handle Brendan Clancy’s 9.950 and a 9.992 took the event win as Martin Curbishley committed an outside lane infraction after another wild wheelie.

The battle for the Super Street championship turned out to be an all Bristol Doorslammers affair, with Neil Grant holding a healthy lead over Bob Lees coming into the event. When Lees qualified number 1 (at 10.9009) and Grant lost out in the first round of eliminations, things got interesting, and when Lees took the win light in the final over Nick Griffin it meant that the Mustang would carry the Number 1 plate for a second season in succession.
