Only 15 cars arrived at a slightly wet Great Yarmouth on 4th August, but the evening certainly wasn't short of entertainment. Garry Sparkes was giving his new car its first run.
Heat 1 had no sooner got away when the yellows came out after Billy Smith planted Garry Sparkes and Dicky Raymond into the caister bend fencing. A complete restart was called and was minus Sparkes, Raymond and Lambert who was suffering from engines problems. Alex Meadows got away well as Brooker planted a big hit on Billy Smith which ended up in Shaun's car in the fence with damage, a good battle then commenced between Jackson and Billy Smith which eventually became the battle for the lead, Billy was really mastering the conditions well however and pulled well clear to take the win from Jackson and Munford.
Result 161-376-233-60-176-57-540-432-167-279
Heat 2 was probably the least eventful and it was young James Meadows turn to lead this time, in fact building up a very useful gap between himself and the others, once again Smith and Jackson were the men on the move and as in heat 1 it was Billy who broke clear to take up the chase on Meadows, but James was too far gone and took a good win.
Result 167 - 161 - 376 - 176 - 60 - 233 - 4 - 612 - 540 - 432
The track was a little drier for the Final, Jack Hughes went out early on, as Garry Sparkes was a man on a mission and wasted no time getting up front. Ben Marjoram and Alex Meadows had a nasty looking crash on the exit of the pit bend bringing out the yellows, and leaving Marjoram not looking happy at all! Sparkes was away again at the restart leaving a great battle between Jackson, Smith, Brooker and Munford. This was all shaping up to be quite some finish as they began to real Sparkie in, however with just a couple of laps left to go Billy Smith took Jackson all the way to the fence on the caister bend and the race was stopped. Smiths car looked to have taken the brunt of the damage and thankfully both drivers were OK, Smith now joins Eddie Edmonds on a 3 month holiday with a pretty similar move to Eddies on Sean Smith at the last meeting. The result was declared as there was only one lap to run, giving Sparkie his first final win of the year, and how fitting that was the Felsham Garage Cup.
Result 612 - 69 - 233 - 540 - 432 - 483 - 279 - 4 - 167 - 60
