Grass Autotest 2007

 Kingswood, Sunday 16th September 2007

Report by Peter Wood

A successful days sport was had at the return to the 27 acre field at Clearfields farm, and thanks to Andy for the use. It proved very smooth, and the hot sunny day topped up my tan/gave me a red face!

Fastest times were set by 4 different drivers during the day. The early leader, Sam Watts, was 1.3s ahead of joint 2nd after 2 tests of father Greg Watts ("never done a handbreak turn before today") and Paul Woodham.

After 4 tests Edward Churchill was leading by 1.2s, having set fastest times on test 2 and 3. However Greg put together consistent tests on 5 + 6 to win by 3.9s.

Nathan shared his Rally Golf with Edward and Paul Munford, and they thanked him by both beating him into 4th place! Paul Woodham was undone by double WT on test 4, which gave him fastest + 30 seconds - he looked set for top 3.

Many thanks to Duncan and Missus for excellent BBQ, Brownies and Flapjacks! Thanks to marshals Eddie, James W for sterling work.
