Winner - Chris Howard-Harris 91.04s
Although I managed to set a new PB, that was largely down to the bigger engine, I need to be more confident at carrying
more speed into and out of corners. In total there were 86 competitors in various classes from different clubs. My final placing overall
was 25th fastest.

Winner - Matthew Willoughby 96.34s
Although I managed to set a new PB, I was slightly disappointed not to have set a faster time as this time
I am using Kumhos, compared to some old Yokohama A048Rs.

Winner - Mike Sankey 97.44s
This was my first ever Sprint so I was encouraged to write a blog for the club's website and this can be found
here. For this event I was
using Yokohama A032Rs which were getting on for 6/7 years old. Definitely time for a change, so with the advice of other sprinters ringing in my ears
I order some Kumho Ecsta V70s for the next event.
