This years Mechanics Trial was earlier this year and held on a dry, sunny day. It was a low scoring, but very close battle between the leading contenders. However, unlike the Exmoor Clouds last week Class Eight dominated the leader board.
Mackhouse was back on the agenda this year, there were only a couple of failures but it was considered a bit rough by some competitors.
Dave Sargeant was out in his new VW Buggy but had the misfortue to damage the bodywork early in the trial and retired shortly afterwards when the transmission cried enough.
The trial was decided in the Catswood complex where Charlie Merson dropped his only marks of the trial on Sapseds Surprise in his Ford Special. Charlie got to the two followed by Mark Hobbs in his trial on a three.
Simon Lewis lost his only marks of the trial here and won Class 90 in his Suzuki X90. Class 5 winner Dave Haizelden scored five and finished the best non special at 7th overall.
