News > Adur Meeting Report - Sunday 28th December 2008
The Ivan Mitchell Charity Meeting was held at the Adur Raceway with formulas racing on the circuit as well as the Oval.
A very cold day greeted the drivers when they arrived but the weather remained dry all day but it remained cold all day.
Here are the reports from the 8th Stock Cars and 8th Hot Rods
Round 1 Heat 1 was taken by Neil Fletcher well done to him and Heat 2 taken by Pete Allen with a very fast 52 Laps
Round 2 Heat 2 was won by Bob Mitchell with 42 Laps from Neil with 21 Laps, Heat 2 was won again by Pete Allen with 56 Laps been closely chased by Gary Osborne who finished ahead on split with 52 Laps from Ian Billett.
Round 3 Heat 1 was won by Bob Mitchell from Den Allen and Heat 2 was won by Pete Allen with 57 Laps from Lloyd Mitchell who finished with 50 Laps.
4 drivers went straight through to the Final with the remaining 4 drivers contesting the semi final race with the top 2 going through.
Semi Final was set off and Gary Osborne was going really well until his exhaust popped off allowing Den Allen to take the victory with 59 Laps with Gary 2nd on 52 and Neil Fletcher 3rd with 22 Laps, sadly Andy Longley did't make the start.
The Final could have been a classic race but the weather was very cold by this point and starting cars became a problem but well done to Pete Allen on his win the results are below.
1st - Pete Allen - 60 Laps
2nd - Lloyd Mitchell - 44 Laps
3rd - Den Allen - 34 Laps
4th - Bob Mitchell - 24 Laps
5th - Gary Osborne - 5 Laps
6th - Ian Billett - Did not start
A great days racing from all formulas and a lot of money raised for charity.
Until the next time
