RDC's One Wild Weekend
Saloon Stockcars National Championship QF, 2Litre RWD National Bangers and BriSCA F2 Stockcars

The 2016 National Championship raised a decent, if somewhat unspectacular entry of 43 Saloon Stockcars with a most disappointing lack of visiting drivers with just 600 Barry Russell and 777 Alan Ainslie from north of the border for the event.

24 cars for heat one with 499 Dave Aldous going round at the start and struck heavily by the traffic and with concern for the defending champion the reds were thrown and a complete restart ordered. The race restarted with 428 Lee Sampson leaning 306 Daniel Parker into and up the back straight fence but the former come back with a lunge to spin his attacker as 181 Sam Mallet set the pace from 22 Karl Petters and 399 Cole Atkins before 128 Craig Banwell charged at 157 Max Stott and 570 Simon Venni then barged past the latter and 386 Daniel Petters in one move with 124 Ollie Skeels doing the same to 448 Martin Kibble which fenced the latter and 157 Stotty then fired 386 the Joker into the wall. Atkins muscled his way past Petters for second but the latter immediately came back to regain the position as 6 Simon Welton span 610 Trent Artherton who was struck heavily by Russell before the caution flags flew with debris on the circuit. This erased Mallett’s lead and Venni began on the restart on his tail and wasted no time in barging his way into the lead with Skeels into second before he fired into Venni as behind Banwell lunged at Mallet and 6 Welly did the same to Atkins. Skeels emerged in the lead at half way as Mallett and Banwell battled for third and Welly and 538 Jake Swann fought for fifth with Welly then firing into Mallett and again on Banwell to climb to third as Atkins dive bombed Petters. Venni took back the lead with five to run as Ainslie dumped out 360 Carl Waterfield and 730 Deane Mayes charged at Russell and up front the lead changed hands again as Skeels took back the advantage. 220 Casey Englestone removed Mallett as Welly crashed out on the road bend while attacking Waterfield. Aldous now fired into the Joker and 218 Jacob Downey did the same to Petters and 730 Deano to 641 Willie Skoyles Jnr. Into the final bend and Venni connected on Skeels and span him but the latter was able to cross the line first for a win in a fine start to the weekend with 538 Swanny Jnr third.

One less for heat two but no reduction in the action as Banwell immediately had 800 Scott Greenslade around and 270 Matt Fuller span before Swanny Jnr dumped out 537 Tom Alsop and 248 Will Makings hooked out 126 Harry Barnes as he moved into second with Atkins leading and 321 Marcus Skeels quickly into third as 214 Tom Yould and 525 Wes Starmer span and Banwell turned 304 Martyn Parker into the wall. Welly went out as 888 Shane Emerson dive bombed 349 Michael Allard and Sampson fencing them both before Magewick rattled 389 Ryan Santry into a half spin and the recovered Welly had 321 the Frog out. 525 Wes now charged at Atkins to un-lap himself which allowed Swanny Jnr to close while Parker had 214 Tucker out and Ollie Skeels moved into second and another attack from Wes on Atkins again allowed Swanny Jnr to close before Fuller span Greenslade only to be dumped out himself by Magewick as Swanny Jnr edged into the lead before Skeels charged at Atkins in a bid for second but span himself in doing so. 321 the Frog then lunged at Welly and Atkins which fenced the latter heavily in a brutal impact with the former collected by Allard after Sampson lunged at him which brought the reds out with concern for the Frog. Swanny Jnr led the restart with a three car cushion of back markers between him and the battle for second between Makins and 190 John Wagstaff and Sampson wasted no time in charging at Tucker before Welly lunged at 158 Shane Davies and Skeels did the same to Swanny Jnr to try and get back on the lead lap. Welly moved on to spin Tucker as 733 Kyle Picton fired Fuller into the wall as Swanny Jnr led the field into the last five laps with Sampson now second and 190 Waggy third as Davies charged at Makins and Parker did the same to Wes before Allard and Waggy ran into the spun Tucker costing them both places and Welly suffered another spin with Skeels then fencing the recovered Waggy. Swanny Jnr held his nerve to win from Sampson and Allard as an explosive finish saw Parker fence Fuller while Davies launched Banwell into the wall and 888 Shin span in the mayhem.

Up to 25 for heat three with Aldous removed Allard out of the blocks before the former charged at 218 Cracker while Mallett set the pace and Greenslade removed the Joker as Skoyles Jnr and Heanes suffered spins, the latter collected head-on by Tucker as 26 Tommy Barnes also went round before Ainslie went in heavily on the back straight to bring the caution flags out. Mallett restarted with three back markers between him and his nearest rivals and 610 Trent Artherton wasted no time in spinning Kibble for second but he went round as well and was clobbered by Shinn as Aldous lunged at Skoyles Jnr which took them both into the wall. Daniel Parker span around the Joker as Waterfield raced into second ahead of Deano and Venni hooked out 220 Philo Jnr and Stotty removed Artherton before the recovered Skoyles Jnr dive bombed Greenslade and Picton. Heanes then charged at Davies as the battling Greenslade and Picton now came under fire from Shin and Deano powered into Stotty. Mallett continued to lead at half way with Shin now into third as Skoyles Jnr barged into Russell and Heanes, Russell immediately coming back to return the favour on Skoyles Jnr which span them both and they were collected by Heanes and Shin as Venni went round and Picton crashed into the infield blocks. Waterfield meanwhile reeled in Mallet and made contact on the last bend but the latter rode the hit out to take a well-deserved win with Greenslade third.

24 for heat four and immediately Skeels hooked out Fuller and Timmy Barnes did the same to Alsop as Deano charged at Sampson and Welly fired in Aldous as Makins led the early laps from Atkins and Harry Barnes. Brother Tommy Barnes lunged at and fenced Picton as Cracker span Aldous and the luckless Welly to cause a pile-up which claimed Magewick as 147 James Dexter raced into second and the leading Makins came under fire from the recovered Welly which allowed Dexter to lunge at the former and take the lead as Harry Barnes dumped Artherton out and Tommy Barnes span Magewick and he was hit by Harry Barnes who continued to barged past Fuller as he continued in fourth with Timmy Barnes now third. Tommy Barnes fenced Stotty and he then did the same to Philo Jnr as Picton lunged at Sampson as the race hit half way with Dexter still leading and Atkins now second ahead of Makins and Timmy Barnes as Sampson fired in Picton and Venni charged at Timmy Barnes with Deano then lunging at Banwell before Timmy Barnes evened the score on Venni, fencing his target hard in the process but Venni rallied back and fenced Timmy Barnes which helped Dexter and Atkins stay ahead as Artherton found the fence. The fired up Tommy Barnes fenced Makins, the latter spinning and he was collected by Harry Barnes who smashed into the infield blocks with alarming force. Alsop shoved Aldous into the wall and he responded by spinning his attacker as Venni grabbed the lead and Timmy Barnes lunged at Dexter to take third and as Venni won another storming race, Timmy Barnes fired Atkins in on the final bend to take second which handed Wes third, Welly spinning Dexter across the line in the race for seventh.

23 for the last heat with Makins in the wall early doors as Kibble set the pace as Mallet span followed by Waggy and Alsop as Heanes moved into second and behind Timmy and Harry Barnes, Greenslade and the Joker battled for third while Russell charged at Shin and Magewick lunged at Sampson before Greenslade did the same to Heanes before Davies removed Philo Jnr and Magewick fired into Allard before Mallet and Shin tangled and crashed into the fence. Timmy Barnes hooked out the Joker and Harry Barnes did the same to Waterfield as Kibble fell by the way side and Heanes emerged in the lead only for the reds to them flew with concern for Harry Barnes on the back straight. Just 15 remained for the restart by the majority were on the lead lap and the race restarted with an insane lunge from Allard on Skoyles Jnr and Daniel Parker as Timmy Barnes edged into the lead and Greenslade lunged at the Joker to take third with Martyn Parker on his tail as Allard dumped out Waterfield and Skoyles Jnr charged at both Magewick and Daniel Parker and Davies did a similar move on Magewick and Martyn Parker to climb to third. Philo Jnr fenced Wes as Davies moved into second while Waterfield fired Allard ending his challenge. Daniel Parker dive bombed Skoyles Jnr and Waterfield did the same to Magewick and then to Philo Jnr as Timmy Barnes raced to the win with Martyn Parker rattling Davies on the last bend to grab second to end a quite superb session from the Saloons.

The annual 2Litre RWD Banger session raised an excellent and better than expected field of 59 cars with pleasingly just three no shows from the entry list alongside one late cancellation although this were far outweighed by nearly 20 extras on the night which included a mini Mr Men invasion. A real variety of a line up with some cool stuff to be found, topping the bill the super smart Mk3 Granada limo of 90 Adrian Harboard while son-in-law 282 Bobby Daniel had a four door Carlton hearse and 138 Jay Smy impressed with a smart looking Mazda 929 estate. Elsewhere and fresh Cortinas came from 632 Callum Reed and 666 Liam Gelsthorpe and there were used ones for 291 Mick Turner (estate), 322 Thomas Fox (estate) and 597 Andy Ashman while 22 Dave Vincent and 141 Jake Steward debuted Capris and 932 Rhys Reed returned a Taunus coupe. 357 Paul Reid piloted a Rover SD1 and 96 Amber Daniel returned her Mk3 Zephyr as did 313 Craig Osborne and 325 Craig Lathan with Triumph 2000s with a Mk2 estate and Mk1 saloon respectively, the pick of the modern stuff being a BMW 320 coupe for 287 Steve Francis. All cars are BMWs unless otherwise stated.

Heat one was primarily for the older stuff and raised 25 cars with 579 Gary Beecham (316 compact) butting heads with the spun Steward while 19 Joe Mullarkey (328) did the same to with 45 Lee Sutton (318) before Lathan cracked the spun 61 Stu Holdsworth (320) in the rear wheel and Smy lunged at the former to spin him. 282 Mr Mad turned 97 Jim Maddison (316 compact) into the infield blocks as Rhys Reed attacked 666 Gely only to be turned into the wall by Osborne with 632 Reedy Jnr then powering into Gely and running him in to boot as Mr Mad held off the closing Vincent for the win with 322 Foxy third.

The more modern stuff contested heat two with 30 starters and 790 Nathan Young (Omega) turned 95 Jade Harboard (Omega) into the wall as 209 Tom Waller (Mercedes E class estate) lunged at and span 528 Keith Vaughan (Mk3 Granada) while 108 Lewis Jefcote ran in 695 Mark Mason in another all Omega affair and 116 Nat Cohn (Omega) turned 317 Bradley Cushion (Lexus IS200) into the fence. 329 Michael Carter (Mk3) span the luckless 95 Jade into the fence as 390 David Gibson (Mk3 estate) landed a hit on the Omega of 313 Scott Elden only to come under fire from 327 Mick Maskall Jnr (C class). 326 Shane Lynn (Mk3) butted heads with the spun 51 James Licquorice (Mercedes S class) before 551 Brett Jackson (Omega estate) turned Carter into the stricken Omega of 212 Jack Maryon. 817 Kurt Jacobs (Omega) and 326 Ratty combined to wipe out 209 Tombo as 328 Dan Lathan (Mk3) buried damage magnet Jade and 601 Chris Medler (Mk3) fenced 913 Brett Osborne (Mk3) to celebrate his win with team mate 390 Gibbo and 551 Jacko Jnr completing a TSR 1-2-3.

Loads of repair time helped 34 repair for the consolation which included a handful who had missed their heat and a pile-up quickly formed on the pit bend but this soon cleared as Reed again set about Gely before 817 Stig stuffed 188 John Reeves (IS200) into the spun Turner before Smy nailed 317 Callum Jacobs’ Sapphire and he continued to fence 90 Joe Ninety and then nail 212 Mario Kart as 203 Josh Mouljourd (318) stuffed 116 Nat Cohn (Omega) into the wreckage on the home straight before the lively Smy picked up Turner who already had hold of 276 Adam Rowell (C class) and ran him in, Turner then hitting 123 John Clements (318) on the nose while Gely met Craig Lathan in similar fashion. 96 Bam Bam meanwhile piled Smy into Turner as 338 Terry Garrod turned 273 Dean Jenney (318) into the wall and Dan Lathan did the same to Reed before 317 Stress stuffed 188 Victor. This allowed Smy to zero in for a solid hit on Stress as Tombo turned round to stop the leading 579 Mr Clumsy with a head-on. 85 James Ellis (IS200) also laid into the latter as Tombo now set about Joe Ninety and Reed lunged at and span Smy. Tombo continued his wrecking spree with an attack on Smy which left him open to a hit from Stress as Gibbo thundered in Jenney which flipped the latter onto his side to bring the reds out immediately but the Mr Men pilot did land on his wheels as Craig Lathan wrapped things up with a hit on 338 Wingnut. Dan Lathan had already taken the win from Wingnut and Ellis with just seven finishing.

All 26 qualifiers returned for the final which started in style as Jacko Jnr thundered in Craig Osborne in style before 14 Steve Stalwood (S class) attacked 115 James Martin (E class estate) which left the former open to a package from Jacko Jnr who was then nailed by Licquorice, the latter then copping a head-on from 601 Bling as Ratty turned Reedy Jnr into the wall before Vincent scored on 562 Gavin Barnes’ Omega with Holdsworth then planting Licquorice into the stricken Jacko Jnr. Dan Lathan meanwhile found the stricken Bling for a shot with the leading Foxy hooking out the former which allowed Vincent to take the lead before 898 Andy Battle (Omega estate) lunged at and span Foxy for second. Lathan again nailed Bling before Martin turned round to hit the former on the nose with Reedy Jnr also on opposite to blast Martin hard with Licquorice arriving for a savage head-on to Reedy Jnr which allowed Martin to land a revenge hit on Reedy Jnr. Vincent was delayed by some back markers which allowed Battle to take the lead but on the last bend Vincent lunged at his rival which was sufficient to take a quality win with Foxy in third.

With the meeting now at the six hour mark it was pleasing to see 25 return for the Accumulator and they delivered an excellent end to the night. 427 Dave Johnson (Mk3 estate) buried 108 Squeaky from the off as Reed hit Joe Ninety on the nose and took one from Victor before Tombo connected with a hard hit on Licquorice while a pile-up formed on turn two. Craig Lathan turned round to attack Reed before Squeaky stopped 116 No Luck Nat with a dodgy on opposite attack which the latter immediately set straight with a big on opposite hit of his own as Reed scored on Licquorice. 282 Mr Mad fired into Clements and added him to the wreckage on the pit bend which saw Turner destroyed by wicked hits from Victor and Gibbo as Craig Osborne turned round to blast Holdsworth, the latter then coming under fire from No Luck Nat while 427 Big Dave scored on Osborne. Ratty renewed with Bling with a head-on which left him open for a hit from Joe Ninety as Dan Lathan also set about Bling with a T-bone. 317 Little Cushion nailed the British Champion in turn as Victor hammered Ratty which left him prone to a hit from Bam Bam who was nailed by No Luck Nat with Tombo completing the train of hits. Bam Bam continued to hit Gibbo on the nose which left her vintage Ford open to hits from Victor and Big Dave as the on opposite Ratty delivered another big passenger side hit on Bling which saw him wipe out Victor in the process. Mr Mad nailed the latter in turn as Francis scored on No Luck Nat with the reds then flying with concern for Bling and the race was declared with Victor the winner from No Luck Nat. We resumed with the DD which pleasingly was contested by the majority of those still running. Tombo fired into Bam Bam as Ellis treated Clements to a head-on before connecting with a T-bone on Tombo. Francis turned round to hit Ellis and Clements also turned round to nail Bam Bam only to take one in turn from Francis with Tombo powering into the Mr Men BMW before payback was dished out by Mr Mad. Ellis arrived for a solid hit on the hearse with Bam Bam aiding her husband with a shot on Ellis before they went head to head. Mr Mad fought back to hit Ellis in the same way before No Luck Nat burst into life and met Bam Bam in a solid head-on. Ellis connected with a T-bone on Mr Mad as the determined Bam Bam and Ellis shared some head-ons, the Zephyr surviving a front wheel hit from Ellis before Mr Mad found Ellis for a solid head-on which killed them both on the spot leaving Bam Bam as the a most deserving winner and she celebrated with a couple of hits on Ellis, Bam Bam also claiming the entertainer award for her never say die display.

The first night of One Wild Weekend attracted 67 BriSCA F2 Stockcars which on one hand was most impressive as the fourth best entry of the season on the formula but on the other hand was a little disappointing as it was set to be significantly more had it not been for a glut of cancellations in the week leading up to the meeting although it was pleasing to report just one no show among the entry and the same applied to the overseas entry as the eight strong Dutch contingent was impressive but again was at one stage set to be more than double that. It was an interesting line-up with many on their first appearance of the year and several making the Mildenhall debuts in the F2s which included RDC Ministox graduate 414 Josh Rayner and father and former RDC Banger racer 413 Richard on their first F2 appearances. Credit to 124 Ollie Skeels who was also racing in the Saloons.

22 cars for heat one with 331 James Di’Guillio getting stuck into 471 Malcolm Kaye out of the blocks as 692 Andrew Bottomly marked his Mildenhall debut by spinning into the fence leaving 630 Justin Parker to set the pace as 5 Josh Coleman removed H10 Jelle Tesselaar. 55 Courtney Finnikin removed 38 Dave Polley as 225 Tony Blackburn had H12 Bart Verhoef around and 987 Sam Brigg set the pace as H103 Chris van der Elst fired into and span 235 Bradley Blyth. Coleman was another to spin as the recovered van der Elst fired 704 Graham Crouch into the wall and he was collected by 417 Allen Weston. Brigg lead the race to half way but lost time clashing with 225 Tony Blackburn as Blackurn fired van der Elst wide to move into third and he then passed Verhoef for second and fired into Brigg in the race for the lead but it allowed Shaw to slip through and he snatched the win with Brigg holding off Webster for second.

22 again for heat two with 849 Triston Clayden setting the pace as the spun 735 Mick Haworth was collected by 158 Will Clements and Richard Rayner fenced 283 Gary Allen while Rayner and 260 Anthony Winters suffered spins and 13 Andy Ford fired into 219 Chris Mitchell before Skeels lunged at 81 Mark Clayton to move into fifth and at half way 150 Mark Thoms turned up the pressure on Clayden in the race for the lead before 606 Andy Palmer and 597 Barry Clow collectively dumped out 136 Kyle Taylor with Palmer then squeezing 259 Simon Farrington into the fence. The leading Clayden now came under fire from Winters which again allowed Thoms to challenge with Skeels into third as Thoms grabbed the lead with four to run but could not outrun Skeels who reeled him in and took the lead with two to run, Thoms second and Clayton bested Clayden in the final stages for third.

One more for heat three including several late arrivals who’d been delayed with traffic issues and 871 Mark Simpson set things in motion with an attack on 968 Micky Brennan as 282 Ant Riley set the pace this time and 447 Richard Hampshire fired into 715 Scott Aldridge before H231 Peter Schut removed 93 Stu Sculthorpe and Hampshire attacked Riley before 233 Rob Aldridge and 376 Daz Seneschall suffered spins followed by Schut, 212 Jak Hall and 190 Chris Morphey. Riley still led with 724 Tom Pell into second and Scott Aldridge third as elsewhere 823 Sam Wagner got stuck into 887 Neil Brigg and H129 Michael Schutter fired into the former who rallied back to attack 962 Graham East. Riley continued to lead at half way with Scott Aldridge now second and 103 Carl Issit third and the latter was soon into second as Schutter and Wagner span as did Morley who was hit by Scott Aldridge costing him places, Hampshire also collecting the stricken 190 car as Riley took the win from the closing Issit and 741 Luke Branston, Brennan’s engine letting go as he crossed the line in seventh.

20 cars for the first consolation with 471 Malcolm Kaye going around from the off as Weston removed 774 Steve Flatt and 298 Jake Walker dumped out Coleman before Andy Ford fired into 108 Jon Riley which sent Rob Aldridge spinning as Haworth relieved Allen for the lead and Chris Mitchell came under fire from Blackburn before Kaye and Allen crashed out in a heap which brought the caution flags out. Blyth held the lead for the restart and a crash which claimed Haworth and Hall behind handed Blyth a useful advantage with Farrington emerging in second ahead of Ford and Blackburn. Walker removed H116 Barry Bauer and he was collected by Mitchell and H159 Marcel Simons as Blackburn raced into second but could not catch Blyth who motored to the win with Coleman in third.

One less for the second consolation with Pell rattling Richard Rayner into a half spin and he was collected by Seneschall as 449 Mark Dorrill fired into Winters leaving Di’Guillio to set the pace before Schutter moved in to spin Dorrill while Josh Rayner went round and Waterfall came under fire from Winters and there were more spins from 441 Mick Branston and Tesselaar and Richard Rayner hooked out 158 Will Clements. Pell reeled in and attacked Di’Guillio for the lead only to them fall by the wayside and Schutter stepped in and raced into the lead. The recovered Branston was dumped out by Schut as Schutter took the win from Waterfall with Tesselaar holding off Sculthorpe for third.

Just one qualifier missing for the final so a big field of 31 cars and a pile-up involving Sculthorpe, Tesselaar, Taylor, Waterfall and van der Elst brought the reds out early on and reduced the numbers for the restart where 788 Steve Mallinson found the wall early on leaving 849 Triston Clayden to set the pace from Sam Brigg and Thoms as Brennan and Issit suffered spins and Webster was dumped out by the pack while Brigg edged into the lead. There were more spins for Verhoef and Mallinson as 38 Dave Polley clashed with Skeels and Allen moved into third before Brigg span from contention and was hit by the luckless Issit and Allen now emerged in the lead from 741 Luke Branston and the recovered Clayden with Blyth then climbing to fifth as Blackburn did a cool 360 degree spin as Branston hit the front and led the pack to half way with Clayton now second from Neil Brigg, Ford, Clayden and Shaw with Ford then charging to third as Neil Brigg came under fire from Verhoef before Neil Brigg took a wild swipe at Waterfall which tore a wheel from the latter to bring the caution flags out just before the race entered the final five laps. Neil Brigg went round on the restart and was collected by Verhoef as Ford moved into second with Shaw and Coleman scrapping for fourth as Brennan span. Neil Brigg then charged at Verhoef and fenced himself in the process as Branston held his nerve to take the win with Coleman besting Ford in the final stages for second.

With enough time to allow it, a Grand National was added to the programme and despite only one Saloon Stockcar heat between this and the Final, the race was fully subscribed with 30 cars for another manic affair. Schut was an early spinner as Pell dumped out Ant Riley and Issit turned aside 19 Martin Ford leaving Sam Brigg to lead the way with Pell then barging past Dorrill to take second as Tesselaar removed Mick Branston and Weston charged at Clayden. Simons moved in to fire into Pell as Issit barged into Wagner as Simons worked his way into second only to be dumped out by Dorrill as Verhoef and Weston both went round. Brigg then fell by the wayside and Dorrill inherited the lead from Walker and Andy Ford but he took a hit from Polley which span him and he was collected by Wagner and with concern for Ford the reds flew with just over five to run. Dorrill made the break on the restart which was perhaps a little subdued but did see Simons fire into Walker and Issit attack Brennan as Dorrill raced to the win from Walker and Wagner.

A quality night of on track action with barely a bad race among the 17 on the night, the Saloon Stockcars again topping the bill with all five heats proving some great action and more than a couple being absolute crackers. After a slow start the RWD Banger affair entertained with the last three races being very decent affairs and the BriSCA F2s were most consistent throughout the night, the only drawback being the slightly late finish through a combination of barely half the races of the night going flag to flag and the need for so much track watering due to the summer temperatures.

Back to top
