LMC Championship?
I am erm, busy, until the 20th of May unfortunately. Best of luck, weather seems like it should be interesting!

The 129 competitors who made it to the startline at Aintree yesterday had a superb day of sprinting. There were two practice runs & one timed run prior to a short lunch break before a further two timed runs plus a "untimed run" completed the day's sport. There were many close class battles but only one new class record set in the Over 2000cc Roadgoing Production Car class when Rob Wakelin took his Subaru round in 48.49 to reset Fred Currell's 2003 record in the Audi Quattro.
Mark Wallwork was just 0.52secs off Ash Mason's Over 1700 Road Going Kit Car class record in his first event at Aintree with his brutish Dax Rush Quadra. The battle for Formula Ford honours was resolved in favour of former class record holder Graham Curwen who was a tenth ahead of fellow Van Diemen driver Derek Martlew in the closest contested class.
The 50 Caterham Academy drivers made their 2008 competition debuts and were as ever highly competitive if not a little over-ambitious at times although there were no damaged cars just bruised egos.
Finally FTD was set by Peter Hayter in the 2 litre Westfield as he battled for class honours with Derek Hodder.
Entries have already been received for the next two Aintree sprints so if you want a none-stop day of sprinting enter now to avoid disappointment!
A full report will be appearing on the website shortly.
