The UK domestic season largely drew to a close with the National Finals at Santa Pod Raceway, with exhibition and RWYBs left on the calendar apart from a number of bike classes who see their season come to an end in a couple of weeks time. Another action packed race meeting under good late season conditions, and the UK racing fraternity will head off to their workshops over the winter with renewed vigour and enthusiasm for the future, an unusual situation given the rain dominated seasons of 2007 and 2008.

Matt Eley faces some work over the winter as the hard launching Risky Trip Ford Pop lost out to Dave Day in the first round of Super Comp after a mid track twitch saw Eley airborne, on his side and into the wall. Eley emerged shaken but otherwise uninjured, and hopes to have the car back out before too long.
James Wotton only made the Outlaw Flat Four field in his final qualifying attempt, a 10.64 coming in handy as it put him second on the qualifying sheets and nipped a tenth off his PB in doing so. Not content with this, Wotton then ripped off a 10.24/135 in the first round of eliminations and kept flying high throughout eliminations to take the National Finals win over Adele Woodbridge.
Given the thumbs up by son Tom, John Atkinson took the Super Pro bracket ending the season on a high having produced a 0.0013 on a 8.80 dial-in to top qualifying and then worked his way through the field and defeating outgoing national champion Rick Cooke in the final round of eliminations. John Everitt and the Alien altered had earlier earnt the right to carry the Super Pro number one plate in 2010.
