Brian Golloghly Memorial race
Sports/Gt 28/6/26
14 racers took on the challenge at round 4 of Sports /Gt with the added pressure on lifting the BG memorial trophy.
Brian Golloghly helped Kevin G from day one. He would help him assemble and take down the track every week. He also did the kitchen where he would cook bacon and egg rolls and make the tea for everyone, week in and week out. Brian sadly passed in Nov 2018 and ever-year since we have run a memorial meeting in his memory
It was good to see Mick Mills making a one off appearance, plus Kevin G with a slight bit of encouragement racing as well.
The Sports/Gt class at ASR is currently defying the normal trend of a Mosler race, we now seem to have a complete mixtures of cars and it’s looking like small is best 😉.

After the heats Keith won 4, Nigel with 3, Terry, Peter & Sam with 2 and Oskar with 1.

B Final was a close battle at the start but after a few de-slots it was left to Terry and Peter to battle it out, on the 2nd to last lap Terry lost some time which gave Peter a the lead going into the last corner, Terry went for the do or crash move and succeeded by crossing the finish line first. We had to await confirmation to confirm the winner. 1st Terry H in his Thunder slot McLaren M6B can-am with a 5.105 2nd Peter R 5.119. 3rd Andre P Mosler & 4th was Oskar P in his super fast Nsr Hybrid.

A good start by all setting a very fast pace for the final, after a couple of laps Keith & Nigel pulled away battling hard and exchanging positions for most of the race, with a couple to go Keith lost time which gave Nigel a few lengths lead in which he took to the line claiming and retaining the BG trophy . Keith was 2nd, Terry 3rd and Sam 4th.
