1/24 Nationals (page 2)
 Open Group 12

Open Group 12 qualifying was held on Saturday evening with just 4 Sunday arrivals completing the 63 entries.  Top qualifier was again Lee Parsons in 4.582 sec, just 4 milliseconds quicker than Brian Saunders.  Keith Gibson was trying a bit harder in OG12 qualifying - and qualified third ahead of Mark Harwood while George Kimber topped the Sunday arrivals in 5th.
Best Presented winner was yet again John Wells - the photo (right) doesn't do full justice to the metallic finish.
Kevin Doubleday had a gear strip in qualifying before he could record a representative lap - but in the H final he showed he had the speed and reliability to set a pretty quick time. Indeed Dubbs' score wasn't beaten till the C final when a fine demonstration from the younger generation saw Graeme Stephenson win from Will Stemman.  Charlie Gooding won the B just 0.06 laps ahead of Graeme's C final time, wile Paul Shepherd displaced Will to be third going into the A final.
Best presented body by John Wells
