2026 Summer Championship - Round 6: Race 1 Short Course Truck Recap
What a display of talent we witnessed on the polished hall floor tonight for Race 1 of the Short Course Truck class! Tim Halstead fought tooth and nail to take the win, crossing the line after 25 laps with a total time of 307.44 seconds. Toby Halstead pushed him all the way, finishing just 4.9 seconds behind his rival. The lead certainly wasn't handed out easily; Toby took the lead on lap 2, Tim fought back to reclaim it on lap 8, only for Toby to snatch it back on lap 15. Ultimately, Tim found that final surge to clinch the victory.
Alan Culham put in a determined effort, completing 21 laps and securing third place overall with a time of 301.87 seconds. He ran consistently in the top four for the majority of the race before eventually settling into third for the final laps. Keith Griggs followed Alan home, finishing fourth after 20 laps.
A special mention must go to Toby Halstead for setting the fastest lap of the race with an incredible 11.07 seconds! Despite not taking the win, his pace was undeniable throughout. Andrew Boakes unfortunately did not record any laps in this encounter. A fantastic race for the Short Course Trucks and a brilliant night of racing at Sevenoaks Model Car Club!
