Micro Best Buds 2017 Results

Postby Jon#606 » Fri 31 Mar 2017, 11:42 pm

Taunton was tonight's host for the first Best Buds meeting of the season. 12 drivers competed to become 2017's Micro Best Buds champions, and out of the four drivers that tied last year, only Rik returned with a chance to retain his title. The Somerset oval proved to be one of the most exciting circuits of the year so far, with some excellent racing combined with many destructive hits and quick turn around times, proven by the fact there were FOUR allcomers in the meeting! :o

The six pairs who attended were as follows:

RIOT SQUAD
606 Jon
27 Cap


GREEN & BLACK
786 Brett
271 Kizza


PIRANMOTO
616 Jam
47 Michal


WEST COUNTRY WRECKERS
870 Looney
228 Splat


SICK GAYS
66 Colin
88 Matt


TEAM BANDICOOT
997 Rik
474 Miniman


The meeting's winner was very nearly decided in the DD, but the consistency of one pair ensured the title was won one race earlier...

Top 6 scored in heats and final. Allcomers were non-points. Drivers in italics finished but did not score points. 5 points went to the winning pair in the DD.

Jam & Michal picked up their first Best Buds title in a display of amazing consistency: both members of the pair managed to finish inside the points in the races on all but one occasion (Jam's 10th in Heat 1 being the exception) with Michal managing to pick up points in ALL eligible races, including a hard fought DD win alongside two Allcomers wins with Jam claiming a heat and an Allcomers of his own. and had this been an individual meeting, PiranMoto would have had a meeting 1-2 of 32 and 31 points for #47 and #616 respectively, indicating their steady accumulation of points on the night.

PiranMoto had to come from behind though as Team Bandicoot looked to be steamrolling their way to yet another teams win, with Rik claiming three heats, the final and an allcomers, while Miniman won a heat. Unfortunately for Bandicoot, Miniman had to leave after heat 4 at which point they were 7 points ahead of the rest, and despite Rik's best efforts, the numerical disadvantage played against him and PiranMoto won the meeting after claiming 18 points in the final to TB's 12.

For the rest, it was a largely tight-fought affair with Riot Squad coming out 3rd on 21 points, 1 ahead of West Country Wreckers who themselves were three ahead of the Sick Gays, although 88 Matt claimed his first LFS Bangers victory with an excellent Heat 6 drive. For Green & Black, it was more about the wrecking than racing as they only picked up a couple of points, both gained by Kizza.

So, to conclude:
