Ash's impressive performance in the double headed round of Stars at Rowrah was enough to earn him a place on the front cover of this months Karting magazine.

The action at the weekend took place at Rowrah in round 2 of the Super One Championship. Going into the meeting Ash was sitting at ninth in the championship table.

In the timed Qualifying Ash recorded came in as the fourth fastest with only 0.16 of a second seperating the top five. In the two heats Ash took a win and a third which was good enough to give him P3 on the grid for the first of the two finals. During the course of the race Ash had managed to climb up into second place and he was closing fast on Andy King to battle for the lead. A sudden loss of power and Ash found himself losing four places before the chequered flag finally went out, crossing the line in sixth. In the second of the finals Ash was on the third row of the grid at P6. He was unable to show his true pace and was only able to make up a single place in the 21 lap race to take fifth place.

Although Ash was unable to replicate the performance he displayed in FKS Rounds one and two, it was however, sufficient to pull him up the Super One Championship table by three places to sixth. There are currently only fifty five points seperating the top ten with plenty more action in the following five rounds to come.


Ash said "Had it not been for the gremilins I would have been able to take another couple of slots in the championship. I guess that's just the way it goes sometimes, It's all left to race for though. I think the remaining rounds will be quite exciting with some good racing to come".
