John Russell was the next driver to pull out on lap 50; Paul Dewsnap had had a problem on lap 53 after loosing over minute, at this stage Andrew Gregory, Adam Crossland, Martin Trice and Phil Edwards were all still battling it out Karl Dransfield mum and dad were both biting there nails as the son was 3 laps ahead of second place Matt Chambers, all the drivers new Karl had this race in the bag and all let him past without any incident but it is the standard you would expect at this level. At the end of the 30 minutes Karl Dransfield was 4 laps in front of 2nd place Matt Chambers and 5 lap in front of 3rd place Jim Beesley. Well done Karl very nice racing and well done to your pitman Kyle Branson
