2021 CURBOROUGH SPRINT CHAMPIONSHIP, supported by PJS Sports Cars and Paul Green Jewellers.

April Update

The Championship entries are now up to nearly 70 thanks to a sudden last minute “surge”. .

The first round, the MGCC event, on April 11^th., and the Third Round, (BMMC), are both now full, with some reserves. This again shows the importance of getting the entries in for the events you wish to do, as early as possible, to avoid disappointment.

With the COVID guide lines currently in place, the first few rounds will take place without spectators.

Entries for the S&HMC April 25^th , second round are also very good, but still not full, so get your entries in now if you want to ensure an entry.

With the Owen MC regs now also available, 9 of the 10 rounds are on the website championship page to download and enter.

As usual registration for the championship does not guarantee you event entries.

The organising committee will be handing out Championship car stickers, at the First event to entrants who do not already have them. As they are carry over stickers from 2019, if anyone still has their existing ones please reuse them if you can.

Hopefully the current lockdown will not change, at this late stage and, we will see many of the entrants at the first round on April 11^th to kick off this year’s Championship and blow off the cobwebs!

CHAMPIONSHIP ROUND 2

Results after Round 2

The S&HMC April Figure of Eight event was, for a change, the second round of the Championship, and attracted 47 Championship entrants out of the total of 57 following a few late cancellations. Dry weather, although cold, thankfully accompanied the day. Timekeeper technical issues combined with the current MSUK rules not allowing an office PC display spoilt the results availability on the day, for competitors, and for the frustrated S&HMC organising club’s officials.
The ever-increasing fleet of MGZR’s in Class Sa got the meeting started with another close scrap! A win for Jack Twomey, (and a new class record), from Craig Tock, with Graham Harvey third and your scribe fourth, all 4 within 0.8 sec. Steve Barrow, Simon Parkin and Mike Smith, were 5^th, 6^th and 7^th respectively.
The shared Saxo in Sb saw Jamie Moffat break the class record for the second meeting running!
As usual these days, a great entry in Class Sc produced a really good contest with the Clio’s of Paul Glendenning and Rob Thompson first and second split by 0.29 sec. Third and fourth placed Paul Gough and Wayne Parke in their Clio’s were split by 0.03 sec!
Another close finish in Class 1a, saw the win go to Stuart Ballinger’s Mini, by 0.24sec from Keith Waters’ Metro.
The larger engined road car class, 1b, by comparison, went fairly comfortably to the MGZR of Lee Willars, from the MX5 of Melvyn Cox.
The road going Lotus class, 2La, went to Martin Roberts, from John Caldicot, both in Elise’s.
Simon Price had the closest win of the day, by 0.02 sec from Matt Bramall in the 2B kit car class.
3a saw a big accident, with Stuart Gadd, barrel rolling his Mini and causing everyone watching to hold the their breathe until he thankfully emerged ok from the car!
The large capacity Mod Prod class, 3b, went to the 106 of Liam Ulyatt.
The “Radical” battle continued in Class 6a with John Bradburn “just” taking the win from David Large by 0.07 sec, with Colin Quigley 3^rd.
The 3 car Formula Ford scrap went to the Merlyn of David Owen, with Graham Cherry 2^nd and Laurence Marks 3^rd.
Matt Walk, unfortunately had no competition in the Rally Car class, but still threw the Fiesta around as if he had stolen it!
FTD went to the Force of Glyn Sketchley, with a time of 55.11 sec.

With two rounds down, and with 53 entrants having competed in one, or both events, and most of the events filling up fast, it looks like being a really competitive season!

With the Championship entries now up to 75, after 2 rounds the top 2 are:

40 points Stuart Ballinger Mini 1a
39.5 points Lee Willars MGZR 1b

Hope to see many of you at Round 3, the BMMC event, on May 8^th, which has a full entry.

Report on Round 1

2021 SEASON CHAMPIONSHIP ROUND 1

Results After Round 1

It’s Great to be back – even with the snow!

After the enforced year off, the 23^rd year of the Championship kicked off, for the first time ever, with the MGCC event, and attracted 47 Championship entries, but 2 had to cancel before the day. With a full entry of 80 competitors the event started in snowy conditions, but after the first practice runs everyone was treated to a dry, if cold, day.
With MGZR’s seemingly as far as the eye could see, Class Sa got the meeting under way with a win for “your Scribe” from Graham Harvey 2^nd, and Jack Twomey 3rd, all split by 0.3sec. Fourth was Mike Smith on his Championship debut run, followed closely by Jack Snape and David Owen, making up the top 6. Many of the positions were split by a few hundredths!
In Sb, even in the really cold conditions, Jamie Moffatt broke the class record in his Saxo, with a 39.43!
Another large class Sc, had Rob Thomson’s Clio 172 taking the honours, from the Clio 200’s of Paul Glendenning and Paul Gough. Terry Roberts and James Partridge completed the top 5 in their Clio 182 and 172 respectively. Again, many of the class places were only split by hundredths of a second.
Class 1a had a win for Stuart Ballinger’s Mini, from 2^nd placed Keith Waters’ Metro, with Martin Domleo celebrating his recent 80^th birthday with a close 3^rd place in his Fiesta Ecoboost.
Class 1b win went to novice Lee Willars in his 1.8MGZR, with fellow novice Melvyn Cox’s MX5 second, in front of the other MGZR of Rosemary Collins.
The 3 Elises in 2La were led home by David Whiteley, from ex Caterham regular, John Caldicott in his new acquisition!
In class 3A, the Mini battle went to Stuart Gad.
A really healthy looking Libre Class had all 4 Championship entered Radicals in attendance, with David Large leading them home from John Bradburn in 2^nd and David Bickley 3^rd.
FTD went to the Van Diemen FR96 of Steve Miles with a 29.72.
Many thanks to MGCC for putting on a great event, and managing to get 3 timed runs in after the wet start to the day.
The Championship organisers would also like to say, a BIG thank you to P.J.S Sports Cars and Paul Green Jewellers for continued support in 2021 following the cancelation of the 2020 season.

With entries still coming in we now have a total of 70.

For any Championship novices, please remember that the Championship points are calculated from the first 2 timed runs only, regardless of any club offering 3 timed runs on the day.

IMPORTANT NOTE to all Championship Entrants; All of the rounds regs and entry forms appear on the Curborough website Championship Page as soon as they are released. With many events seemingly getting oversubscribed quicker than usual this year, please get our entries in as early as you can.

Hope to see as many of you as possible at the next round, the S&HMC event on Sunday April 25th,

Steve Wood
