Six drivers go sub-30 on fast day

WHILE the island's top two hill climbers continue to push each other to great new heights, there was pace to burn throughout a blisteringly quick field yesterday.

Ten class records were broken at the penultimate meeting of 2012, while there were six different drivers who broke the 30sec. barrier, two of those pushing it further by breaking 29sec.

Unsurprisingly, they were Darren Warwick and James Shorto in a racing cars class that saw a quartet go 'sub-30' and both held the class record at different stages in the day.

It was eventually Warwick who secured FTD with a run of 28.24, which beat Shorto's 28.38, that itself taking nearly half-a-second off the 23-year-old's previous best.
