Moore & Stiles wins Union Square GP
Despite having to pull out of the last final, top qualifier Andy Moore sealed victory at the Union Square Grand Prix. Two wins for the Hot Bodies driver in legs one and two of the A final sealed the victory as Andy gave the UK debut to the new prototype Cyclone. A strong drive all weekend netted the Xray pairing of Phil Chambers and Johnny Aird second and third.
Despite his late arrival due to volcanic ash and a cancelled flight Mark Stiles took victory in the 1:12 class winning the hard way with two second places in the first two legs and needing to win the final leg. Mark had his work cut out but delivered the win in the last final to take the overall victory, Chris Clark was second for Hot Bodies with Andy Sawyer third for Corally.
