Larkhall Super One round 5 sees Ash twice on the Podium

 

Round 5 of the Super One Championship took place at Larkhall over the weekend.

 

Ash and his CRG steed managed to post the fastest lap in the qualifier. He went on to win both heats. The first of the two heats was a close run thing with Ash coaxing the CRG chassis across the finish line a full 2.4 seconds ahead of James Singleton. In the second of the heats Ash was able to resist the challange of Andy King to take the win by almost 2/10th of a second.

The performance demonstrated by Ash gave him pole position for the first of the finals. Ash managed a clean start closely followed by P3 man Andy Kingfolowed by the rest of the pack. Ash was able to hold the lead for most of the 24 lap race. On the last lap and less than a handfull of corners from the chequered flag, he found himslef on the defensive which allowed Andy King to poach first place. Despite a vallient attempt Ash had to settle for second place being pipped by a mere 2/100ths of a second.

 

 

The second of the finals now saw Ash start on the dirty side of the track in P2. Another good start, during the race Ash managed to take the lead which changed several times. Lap 22 Ash was running 2nd close on the heels of Oliver Hodgeson when Matt Parry collided with Sean Babington and in the resulting melay Andy King threw his drive chain.

 

The race was yellow flagged so no overtaking - that's how it finished with a procession to the fish line.

 

Ash said " I was a little disappointed about having to come away without a win. I'm sure I had the pace to take the second final and the win had it not been for the yellow flag. I'm not sure how the championship will all work out now, Parry was black flagged in that second heat and both Sean Babington and Andy King DNF'd. Were just going to have to wait and see how the numbers work out. I was really pleaed with the kart. Considering this is only the third time out competitively on the CRG chassis I think we might be getting somewhere near the optimum set up.
