Mendip BRCA Race Report
The Associated team had a strong finish to their 2011 campaign at the fast Mendip track near Weston Super Mare.
Once again the weather dominated qualifying and the mixed conditions saw some big names slip by the wayside in qualifying. In the super touring class Olly Jefferies qualified 2nd on the grid for the A final behind Schumacher?s Matt White, a third in leg one and a win in leg two saw Olly bring his TC6 home third overall, also making the A final was Johnny Aird and Alan Bickerstaff, Johnny would end up sixth with Alan eighth. Matt White took the win ahead of Chris Kerswell and Olly.
In the 10.5 stock class Chris Slater mimicked Olly?s performance putting his TC6 second on the grid for the A final, after the three leg finals Chris finished just off the podium in fourth place.
Andy Murray left it to the last race of the year to put in his best performance of 2011, starting from eight on the grid Andy put in a strong performance to net second on the day behind newly crowned nation stock champion Ayrton Anderson.
Elsewhere Zak Smith convincingly won the B final, frustratingly for Zak his times in the B final would have put him right up there with the A final times but problems in qualifying prevented him making the A.
