Results / RS Fat Face Racing Circuit Queen Mary SC - 13/04/2003
Most of the usual suspects, plus others of previously good character
gathered at Queen Mary on 13th April for the Fat Face sponsored RS300
meeting. The young guns who had attended training the previous day and
the sea-dogs too old to learn new tricks were greeted by Chianti
conditions � warm sun, water sparkling in the moderate breeze and a race
course not five minutes from the bar.
Nick Bolland, fighting back the years, established an early lead in the
opening race, closely pursued by Gavin Young. Steve Cook played the
shifts to perfection on the second lap and he and Bolland continued their
own private duel to the end of the race, which Bolland shaded on the line.
Race two once again saw Bolland take an early lead which he held to the
finish, with Young heading the chasing pack. A youthful burst of
exuberance at the finish from Barry Steele almost snatched second place
from a tiring Young.
Cook, having capsized in the second race made no mistake in the third to
win comfortably from Bolland and Young. This left Bolland as the overall
winner, with Cook one point behind in second, and Young in only his
second RS300 event close behind in third.
