British Sprint Round - Colerne - Bank Holiday Monday

[Steve Wilkinson]

In a thrilling run-off Roy Dawson, who had dominated the qualifying, had to fight back to take his maiden championship victory. The Gould-Judd driver still needs to continue to develop the ex-le Maitre car to get it more conducive to sprinting.
Tony Eyles took a well earned second place and in doing so clinched the 2005 SBD Motorsport British Sprint Championship. The Force driver had moved into the lead but second place was good enough in the final analysis. This is Tony's fourth championship and ranks him alongside Dave Harris and Chris Hill as the only four times champions.
Tony Wiltshire's third place was just not enough to keep his championship hopes alive. The Newton Abbot Express was natuarally disappointed and I suspect will not contest either of the remaining two rounds.
Kevin Lealan's fourth place was a career best and has moved him up the rankings.
