With no Sunday practise session it was straight into the first round of qualifying on a damp but drying track. Most soon found their lines and grip .
In 200mm Touring 2009 champion Kyle Branson lead the way from Adam Catchpole and Joe Kerry.  Sports GT saw 2009 Champion Glyn Beale proving he has lost none of his talent with the fastest time. Scale Rubber saw Peter Lague at the top of the timing sheets. Sadly the Truck class only saw 2 entries for this round with Simon Smith well clear at the top.
With a track rapidly drying a grip levels rising the final 2 rounds saw most drivers times improving rapidly. In 200mm Touring Kyle Branson recorded the only 20 lap run of the day and a new outright track record into the bargain with Joe Kerry and Johnathan Dobney just a few seconds back. Sports GT’s qualifying was topped by Glyn Beale from the pair of hard charging 220mm GT Cars driven by Mark Christopher and Lee Chapman.
Scale Rubber saw Ryk Pryke topping the timing sheets from Peter Lague and Devandra Mehatme while Simon Smith held top spot in truck qualifying.
First final to be run was a combined B Final 200mm Touring and Truck final which was won by Simon Smith from Matthew Cook with Nigel Philpott in a distant third.

A trip of four seasons, given the conditions encountered by some on the trip up this was certainly true.
These were certainly true words as for the first time theBRCA  1/10 IC section held it opening National round of the season at the Stonehaven track near Aberdeen. With various weather warnings a lower than normal contingent made the long trip to the north of Scotland. Despite the temperatures the atmosphere and friendliness of the club’s members more than made up for it.
With most if not all drivers new to the track most of Saturday mornings practise sessions were about learning the nuances of the track rather than outright lap times. However by Saturday afternoon most had found their way and were busy concentrating on that illusive set up. Most drivers in Touring , Sports GT and Trucks had soon found the ideal compound and tyre to use and although most soon solved the riddles the scale rubber drivers had their work cut out.
New for 2010 was a control tyre for the rubber class. This was not without its concerns from some as the tyre specification wasn’t really ideal for the low temperatures encountered. However by the end of the days practise some had made good progress, others were slightly less lucky.
As luck would have it no sooner had practise finished for the day than the rain and showers promised during the day materialised.
