Held at Blyton Circuit it Lincolnshire, Round Four of the BTRDA Clubmans Rallycross Championship boasted a strong 42 car entry. Namely a round of the Clubmans championship, the event was unsurprising won by the sole Supercar of Kevin Mccann in his Subaru Impreza. The interesting battle was for second place, Nick Priddy keeping the Subaru honest for the entire final in his Vauxhall Tigra, just ahead of Stuart Emery who is redeveloping his Peugeot 306 and gave the performance of the weekend finishing third. The hard charging Gary Dixon finished fourth chased by Phil Chicken in fifth, just ahead of his MB Motorsport team manager Michael Boak, having a one off drive in his Audi A4 Rallycar. B-Final winner Shelly Wakeling finished just ahead of Dave Baines.
The Stockhatch Category once again produced some fantastic racing, the Citroen Saxos of Stuart Jackson and Adam Clark having a ding-dong battle throughout the day, Jackson eventually coming out on top in the final. A first corner incident removed David Pearson, David Martin and James Coney from running at the front, leaving John Rook to defend third place for the entire race.
The Minicross category was won by Ben Clarke who took the lead on the first lap and never looked back, Tom Edwardes coming second just ahead of brother George. 2009 Champion Kris Hudson came home fifth chased by Mark Griffin and David Bell. B-Final winner Kelly Bird took seventh place.
Paige Bellerby continuing to be a sensation in the Junior category, taking victory by a country mile ahead of newcomer Todd Crooks.
