While most would consider this an act of Top Gear style macho car wrecking, 16 year old Samantha Oldfied-Townshend disproved that notion with a fantastic jump that cleared the whole line of cars. Alas, she was beaten for the trophy by 529, Steven Penfold, who cleared the cars and landed a little further than Sam to claim the prize. Special mention must go to 231 Steven Turner whose crash absolutely flattened his car and 646 Chris Kirkwood, who lived up to his 'Doctor Dangerous' nickname with a massive jump and crash.

On terra firma there were wins in the finals for 96. Leon Boarer in the Junior Production cars, 200 and Jamie Mills in the Junior Rods. In the Hot Rod formula the honour went to 417, Helen Blackman with 130 Dan Cook taking the top spot in the car wrecking nudge and spin banger class.
