TAG Restricted Super Heavy:

Tag 125 Light:
Andrew Mitchell was the class of the field all day, clean sweeping heats, pre final and final with David Boyd and Royce Sutherland close behind. Unfortunately, David DNF in the pre-final. Gamet Patterson and Scott Willoughby were right there to obtain good finishes.
TAG 125 Heavy:
Benjamin Ritchie and Matthew Endres were the class in TAG 125 Heavy. Ben was fast all day with Matthew only 1/10 of a second off his rear bar, most of the day. Daniel Ferry, Sam Taylor and Bradley Goodman were only a couple of 10th of a second back. Very good racing, all day.
TAG Restricted Light:
Michael Sieders returned to form for Tamworth, round 3, for a clean sweep of heats and finals. Very close racing behind him with Steve Adams, Jonathan Naughton, Jonathan Tobey and Matthew Kenneth all showing top 3 positions in the heats and finals.
TAG Restricted Heavy:
Unlucky results for Phil Curran and David Strickland both shared 1st and 2nd in heats and pre final. Both broke chains in the final, Phil’s with 4 corners to the finish line rolling over the line in 8th. Allen Leayr, Aaron Wasley and Chris Bail right on their rear bars took out the top three places. 3/10 of a second covered the lap times of the top 8 in the final. This resulted in very close racing, all day.
TAG Restricted S/ Heavy:
Shane Tate had a clean sweep of the heats and finals, with Scott Dalton-Kirby and James Murray fighting over 2nd and 3rd all day. Scott finished second in the final.
