Forty Four cars assembled at Froombridge Mill for the Mechanics Trial, round 11 of this years ACTC championship as clubs are now allowed two scoring rounds. There had been torrential rain overnight but this slowly cleared during the day.
Charlie Knifton came down from Derbyshire, cleaned every section and won the event in his rear engined, Subaru powered, Scorpion. Locals Joshua Moss (Cannon) and Mark Hobbs (Troll) both dropped marks in the wooded complex before Merves Swerve to complete the podium.
Class Eight dominated the event and the first car outside of the specials was down in eighth place overall, a Dutton Phaeton in the hands of MCC organiser Dave Middleditch who took the Class 7 award.
