Smeatharpe Stadium - Easter Monday 13th April 2009

Easter came to an exciting conclusion, at Smeatharpe, when a packed crowd enjoyed some fine race action from the Saloon Stock Cars, another big entry of BriSCA F2 Stock Cars, and the spectacular antics of the Bangers.

BriSCA F2 Stock Cars

There was a fairy tale track debut at Smeatharpe for 10 Stuart Fletcher, as he romped away with the Easter Monday final on his first ever visit to the circuit.  Fletcher had earlier been docked two places for a jump start in his qualifying heat, but made up for that disappointment, by winning the feature race.  700 Adam Rubery was second over the line, but failed post-race scurtineering, on the track width test.  That promoted 676 Neil Hooper to second, and 886 Chris Bradbury to third.

Saloon Stock Cars

For the second Smeatharpe meeting in a row, there were 20 Saloon Stock Cars, and for the second Smeatharpe meeting in a row, there was a hat-trick winner.
World Champion 120 Shane Brown scooped all three victories this time.  The first heat was a routine win.  Heat two brought about the finish of the weekend, as Brown pipped 360 Carl Waterfield by the slenderest of margins.
In the final, 10 Frank Little looked on course for the win, but he was docked two places for a jump start, and that handed Brown his third chequered flag of the afternoon, with 618 Stuart Shevill Jnr promoted to second. 

Bangers

A fine showing of 70 plus Bangers contested their first Smeatharpe date of the season.
113 Chris Jeanes took the Bangers final, to win the fabulous Easter Hop Trophy.
The day ended with the Bangers Chained Pairs race, which was hugely entertaining.  154 Barry Pike and 78 Dave Weare ran out the winners.
