Classics race to season's end at Angmering on October 11

Oval Legends Go Out Racing (O.L.G.O.R) were racing at Angmering (www.ovalraceclub.co.uk) Sunday 27th with the drivers going all out to secure points in the closing stages of the summer season.

With it all to play for in the track championship title, the racing was fast and close. Heat 1 saw a tight race for the chequered flag between 666. Micky Thorpe and 356, Steve Hillier with the honours going to Thorpe with Hillier following him home and 881, Gary Dyer (piloting a Mk III Zodiac as his Cortina awaits repair) following him home for third.

Heat 2 saw another spirited sprint from the classic iron. Well, almost all of the classic iron, as Robert Daines was soon out of contention completely, hitting an oil patch and putting the 859, Mk II Zodiac into the Armco on the pit bend. Two street stocks swiftly joined him making a tight chicane for the rest of the cars to pile through. The race was won by 210, Vicky Thorpe, with 666 Thorpe second and 356, Hillier in third.

The final was another hotly contested race, with plenty of burnt rubber as the classics braked hard into the very tight pit bend at Angmering. As the rubber smoke settled it was 356, Hillier over the line in first, with 666, Thorpe in second and 881 Dyer edging 210 Thorpe out at the last minute for third.

The classic season closes on October 11th with what in should be another fast and hotly contested day's racing.
