What a weekend! The last races of the season at Snetterton were two of the best – a great and fitting end to the season. So what happened I hear you ask? Following a couple of failed attempts on track at Cadwell Dan and Ollie had some work to do before Snetterton. Ollie had a problem with a throttle sensor which was easily rectified but Dan’s problem was more fundamental… a short time after Cadwell Dan discovered a heavy box in the corner of the garage containing odd implements. What could these be? These conspicuous metal objects seamed to fit nuts ...
It was a day of mixed fortunes at Cadwell Park on Saturday for the penultimate meeting of the Peter Best Insurance Challenge Championship, but certainly a day to remember! The usual suspects chose to confuse us all with a bit of a switch around for this meeting. Rob Spencer was waiting for his group C V8 to be straightened, and chose to bring out his group B V8. Barry ‘Vic Reeves’ Holmes switched to Simon Cripps’ group B 4 pot, leaving Terry Holmes to peddle his group C V8. Another interesting entry was Peter Andrews in Rob Huff’s group B 4 ...
The Mallory Park circuit in Kirkby Mallory was the scene for some great racing with the Peter Best Insurance Challenge Championship over the weekend.

In the later years, as I've moved up the classes, I've found it near impossible to obtain the same performance as Midgets and V8 powered cars. Simply, you can't get the power out of the B Series engine. Couple ...
The BCV8 championship has just cancelled for Mallory – does this mean a Team Neaveser could take the flag…
We if they hadn’t found Mister Cripps’s entry and the Guys registered for both championships had not moved races….
Last I heard we’re up to 26 on the grid.

Looking unlikely then!
