Clarke
tops at Oulton...
Jamie
Clarke took an impressive overall victory in Saturday's races
at Oulton Park and with it moved into second place in the
championship table ahead of Dave Newsham. The meeting started
with a win for championship leader Chris Grieve with Clarke
in second place and Peter Morton in third.
Dave Newsham's
retirement from the second race saw Chris build a bigger championship
lead but the Hexham youngster was unable to do anything about
Derek Pierce's race lead - Derek taking his first race win
of the season. Glenn Burtenshaw took an inspired career best
third place.
Jamie
was bang on the pace again in the third race and took the
win, this time from Lawrence Davey and John Higgins. Unfortunately
there was some damage when Malcolm Clark and Dave Moore tangled
at Lakeside. Malcolm was taken to hospital as a precaution
and thankfully given the all-clear.
The fourth
race saw the biggest ever UK Legends Cars grid with 31 cars
taking to the circuit. There was simply no stopping Dave Newsham
in this one as he blasted off into the distance giving everyone
full notice that the last three rounds of the championship
are going to proved some stunning action. Jamie was second
again with Derek third and Lee Fitzpatrick impressing in fourth.
Driver
of the day went to Robin Webb for a stunning drive into the
top ten of the third race..
