The teams visit to Rockingham was one of mixed fortunes in qualifying
Kelly managed to put his car on the front row of the grid while Bob's
first visit to the Indy Car Super Speedway Circuit saw him qualify in
12th place.
The 55,000 strong crowed were very vocal
as the Mini Miglia cars roared away from the grid. Kelly dropped down to
3rd but soon managed to regain 2nd and set chasing the leader, but his
efforts were to be in vain as Kelly noticed a vibration from the engine
a tell tail sign of a crank shaft about to break so he eased off to save
the engine and enable him to finish in 6th place.
Bob's progress was for better, he was
gradually getting to grips with the technical Rockingham Circuit and
again took the Spax spectacular award for the most places gained from
his starting position. He eventually finished 7th behind Kelly to the
delight of the crowd as his progress through the field had grabbed
everyone's attention.
Kelly left Rockingham still leading the championship, but with the best
9 results from the 12 rounds this means Kelly needs to win the next 4
rounds to win the championship. The next round is at Thruxton near
Andover, the fastest circuit in Brittan.
Look forward to seeing you all there!
