Greetings from a warm and dry Arlington Stadium where the pits are crammed full of cars! The National Bangers are in under 1400cc 4-a-side team action, the 2L Stock Cars are here for the latest round of the 2012 Wealden Series and the 2L Hot Rods round off a great 3 formula programme in the latest round of the Hoosier Tire Series.

With the initial start abandoned, 194 Steve 'Cevil' Anscombe found himself on pole position and firm favourite for the race. Cecil streaked into what looked like an unassailable lead until the Dreambusters made one of several attempts to remove the Dreamers lead driver count! Rob Haines inherits the victory for the Seasiders.

204 Charlie King, 688, 27, 294, 887, 331, 730, 757, NOF.

Heat Two
48 Layton Millsom, 146, 29, 50, 303, 310, 39, 565, 8, 65.
In a virtual carbon copy of heat one, Layton Millsom keeps the yellow graded drivers in his rear view mirror to double his race tally and earn an instant upgrading to yellow! Can he make it a hat trick in the final now that he will be starting beside the other podium finishers from the heats?
Final
146 Scott Morgan, 48 Layton Millsom, 29 Duane Peacock, 50, 310, 118, 39, 565, 88, 65.
With double heat winner Millsom now upgraded to yellow, the question was could he win the final? Scott Morgan got the jump over 48 from the start and never gave up the lead, Millsom managed to hold on for second with Peacock rounding off a good points day in third. A good day's racing from the hot rods!
