2018 Unlimited Icebreaker Results

Postby Jon#606 » Fri 19 Jan 2018, 11:31 pm

The first proper team meeting of the season saw Swaffham host the 2018 Unlimited Icebreaker. Numbers were down on 2017, with there being 11 drivers over 4 teams, but this didn't dull the action one bit, with some brilliant racing alongside a multitude of monster hits and shots.

The four teams were as follows:

RIOT SQUAD
606 Jon
27 Cap
66 Colin


WEST COUNTRY WRECKERS
786 Brett
870 Looney


TEAM BANDICOOT
474 Miniman
669 DarkMetalTim
961 Pepino


PIRANMOTO
616 Jam
217 Tilson
200 Young


Team Bandicoot were the reigning champions having dominated this meeting last year, and all bar Rik returned to try and retain their title.

The winners this year did not win a single points race, but won before the DD. They proved that in team meetings, you need all your drivers finishing to win...

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

After recording their first team victory since 2013 last year in the 2 Litre Icebreaker, team meeting ever-presents Riot Squad manage to make it 2 in 2 Icebreakers with a perfect team display to claim the Unlimited title. The key element of their performance was a steady accumulation of points by all members of the team; although Cap was the only one to win with 2 Allcomers, his haul which included 3 2nds and 4 3rds put him as the team's top scorer with 30 but crucially had the support of guesting driver Colin (with 2 2nds and 2 3rds on the way to 21 points) and eternal partner Jon chipped in with 8 points as well to win the meeting. All 3 drivers finished a race together on 4 occasions, with the other teams only achieving this on either 1 or 2 occasions.

In comparison, PiranMoto may have impressed on the wins front as two-time 2 Litre World Champion Young showed that none of his ability has waned with a remarkable SIX race wins (5 heats and the final) to be the meeting's top scorer on 35 points, but supporting drivers Jam and Tilson (who claimed the first Allcomers) could only muster 14 points between them to end up 10 points back. Team Bandicoot had a similar predicament: despite Miniman winning 3 heats on his way to netting 26 points, as well as defeating Riot Squad in the DD for another 5, Mr. Perfect Jr. and Pepino only scored THREE points combined!

Thankfully for the West Country Wreckers, points don't matter to them and finished miles behind as a result; they had another wreck-filled evening, with Looney picking up 2 Allcomers for them.

So, our winners:
