Ollie Currie wins at HNMC Winter Series Rd12

Round 12 of the HNMC Winter Series brought plenty of guys out to play at the recently re-vamped Herts track. With many new features put in and the layout having changed a fair bit, there was a challenge for all to get used to it, with the old layout having been in place for a long time. Qualifying saw Ollie Currie laying it down, and after a mistake in round 1 costing him that TQ he made no such mistakes in rounds 2 and 3 to take the overall TQ for the meeting in fine style.

Ollie got away at the start after a tussle with Simon Reeves, and these two guys along with Kevin Brunsden were making a break at the head of the field and stretching away. Tony Truman made a first lap error and then compounded that with two further errors in quick succession to put himself right to the back of the pack. Meanwhile Ollie was doing everything right and keeping himself at the head of the pack. Simon and Kevin were chasing hard, but couldn’t quite get on the tail of Ollie and apart from during the pit stops he was comfortable. Tony was staging his own comeback, and once he had cleared the mid pack, he really started to put some quick laps together and was the quickest guy on the track consistently. His sustained pace was good enough to bring him right back to towards the front and going into the final lap he was in 3rd chasing down Simon Reeves for 2nd, sadly for Simon he would run out of fuel with half a lap to go leaving Tony to complete an Agama 1-2 on the top of the podium. Kevin Brunsden (SWorkz) came home an eventual 3rd.
