Wombwell near Barnsley hosted Rd5 of the BRCA series with the European championships on home soil at Halifax just around the corner we saw quite a few drivers testing there ready for the big event.

The Wombwell circuit provided its usual challenges that makes it a unique circuit to race on, a small area of covered pits with electric sockets also was a welcome addition to the club.

In the electric class A-final the top two were out front by some distance as Mark Green continued to dominant taking pole and two out of three leg wins from Michael Walton who took one win for second overall both driving the Serpent 990e evo chassis, closer battles were going on between Mark Boothman, Jack Garrett-Lines and Jamie Goodall. Mark in the end taking the final podium position for Shepherd. Meanwhile in the electric B-final Nigel Philpott took two wins to give him the overall win from Joe Diacono and Paulo Fernandes.

Although with slightly lower numbers as drivers prepare for the Euros there was still strong competition running in the nitro finals. Alex Thurston took pole position with his Nova powered Mugen a second ahead of Tim Wood running Shepherd car with Hasi engines from Andy Hastings also with a Shepherd with Nova engines. In the 30 minute final the front two closely battled it out with a small gap, unfortunately Alex had an incident that dropped him back and Tim had a super drive in the end taking the win by nearly a lap. Andy had a number of issues that seemed to be gearbox related allowing Karl Dransfield to come through to third from starting seventh. In the nitro B final Richard Boult running Infinity took the victory from Vitor Gomes and Tom Burton third running Shepherd.

As usual a well prepared Wombwell circuit and super meeting thanks to Babs, Trevor and Andrew, also well done to Ollie King for taking on the responsibility of running the meeting.
