4 LRP Truck’s in Top 10 BRCA Truggy Nationals 4 LRP’s Trucks in the top 10 at the BRCA Nationals 2010, Jordan Banks, Joe Joyce, Steven Bond, Stan Gill & Mark Bailey took part in this year’s Truggy Nationals Held at 3 completely different tracks around the UK. The final round was an excellent days racing for the team, the usual banter was being thrown around with many laughs in the pits. Steven Bond after a short brake attended the meeting hoping for a good result. Joe Joyce & Stan Gill were in contention for a top 3 place and Jordan and Mark were also looking for a good finish. The Championship title had already been decided! Or had it? So it was up to the rest of the drivers to fight for the top 5 positions and they did. After a tuff 7 rounds of qualifying we had 3 drivers in the top 10, Joe 4th, Stan Gill in 7th and Jordan Banks in 10th all qualifying straight into the A-main. Steven Bond & Mark Bailey were 11th & 24th after some setup issues. A great race in the C final for Mark Bailey put him into a bump up position for the B final with Steven Bond. The B final would prove hard for both drivers, Bondy lead from the start taking no prisoners until engine issues took him out of the race with 3 min to go! His lead was enough to make the last bump-up position into the A final. Mark Bailey had clutch issues 18min in after a great drive in the C final. In the A final it was up to Joe, Stan and Jordan Banks, the start was tuff for many with 14 cars on track ! The leaders were left to battle things out with Joe chasing hard in 3rd after lap 2, Jordan & Stan were in a battle royal with Darren Haden Ball & Piers Pearson. Different pit stops strategies brought these drivers together for most of the 35min race and the battle continued until the end of the final. Joe kept a steady and consistent pace to take 3rd on the day and 3rd place Overall in the Championship. Stan Gill finished 6th on the day piping Piers by a few seconds giving him 4th Overall in the series, Jordan finishing 8th on the day and 8th in the Series just 1 point above Steven Bond in 9th place.   All in all a fantastic result for our team, I’m sure I can speak for the team to say that we have had an awesome time racing the new ­LRP truck this year with some very good results, it’s been a challenge and one that we have enjoyed and hope to improve on in 2011. All the team would like to thank SMD & LRP for their support during this year.   Top 10 Overall Results BRCA Truggy Nationals 1 Mathew Lewis 100% 481 240 241 239 2 Ed Kerry 100% 481 240 228 241 3 Joe Joyce LRP / SMD 99% 477 236 239 238 4 Stan Gill LRP / SMD 98% 473 0 238 235 5 Piers W Pearson 98% 471 237 226 234 6 Darren Hayden-Ball 97% 469 230 232 237 7 Josh Powney 97% 466 231 235 231 8 Jordan Banks LRP / SMD 96% 464 228 231 233 9 Steve Bond LRP / SMD 96% 463 235 0 228 10 James Tatlow 96% 462 225 237 225
