Winter Trophy 2009

29th November - Winter Trophy
Anglesey

That's it over now we have just been to a wet and windy Anglesey. We got there on Saturday with two cars - David Hunter in #6 and Darren Gaulton in #4 although he had a bit of a treat as Steve McCall put him in John Jon's car for the day. Nick Brace also came up with a new car and his son Dean running as #7.

After four test sessions Dean got to grips with his car no problem. Nick had taken it out for the first run and helped with the initial set up. Dean posted the fastest time in Sunday's practice with Nick second.

There were 14 cars present including two from Ireland and also three from Scotland plus the welcome return of Chris Bell who has been off playing with Formula Palmer Audi amongst other things since leaving Legends. He was running in Peter Morton's car.

Not sure what happend in the first race it must have been the wet or the cold when the race finshed with Nick in front and Darren, Dean and David not far behind. Several cars were given a penalty though and Andrew Donald, 'the sweetie man', was awared the win from David, Nick, Dean, Glenn Burtenshaw, etc.

They all settled in to the second race with great result for burnettmotorsport - Nick, Dean, Darren and David. This put Nick in the lead overall with David second. What a final it was - to me it looked like a large accident wating to happen but it turned out to be a great race with Glenn Burtenshaw getting a win. Nick won the day on points from Dean who had a great scrap with Peter Morton who was back in the 32 car after Chris Bell hurt himself (in the paddock).

It was not a great day's weather but the racing was excellent!
