Torode improves on his May record

TIM TORODE may have missed out on a top-12 run-off but his visit to Bouley Bay was well worthwhile.

The Mallock driver twice beat his sports libre up to 1400cc class record and came away with a 42.82, a 36-hundredths improvement on his May performance on the Jersey hill.

Karl Marshall and John Dunne also brought home class records.
