The mix and match ET Bike field had Phil Pratt and the Satan’s Lady Suzuki taking both the National title and the event win, defeating Gary Hester in the final, Pratt having been something of a nemesis for Hester throughout the year.  (Ivan Sansom photo)

The Junior National titles headed to Billy Everitt (left) in the Al-ien Jr Dragster (the National Finals marking Everitt’s last event be-fore moving up into the Super Pro ranks next season) and Blade Dummer (right) on two wheels. Blade also doubled up with the event win (Rose Hughes photos)

Caitlin Wilson did the honours on four wheels.  (Ivan Sansom photo)

Last in our round-up, and by no means least, Bob Hawkins was on fine form with the BBC-equipped Time Traveller 2 slingshot, running deep into the sixes against his 6.65/6 dial in for much of Wild Bunch Nos-talgia competition, preceded by some storming burnouts and taking the event win over a wayward Mick Gleadow to pick up the MSA version of the myriad Wild Bunch championships.  (Rose Hughes photo)

PHOTO EXTRA SLIDESHOW

The index bike classes had Jake Mechaell and Richard Sawatzki picking up the 8:50 and 9:50 National championships, Jay Roe defeating the former on a breakout decision in the final. The winner of the 9:50 trophy came in the form of Super Street Bike standout Garry Bowe, with the Cumbrian deciding not to add to the pile of broken engines that littered his ACU and FIM-E campaign, but instead to run to the index on his son’s Hayabusa and ending up holding the event after Lewis Burgess broke out.

Dial your own

The quickest of the d-y-o classes, Gearhead Garage Super Pro ET event winner Scott Hauser defeated another second-generation driver, Dan Giles, when the latter broke out and, thanks to the way the first round of eliminations played out, Hauser was able to pick up a third National championship to add to his back to back titles in 2013 and 2014.

The Dark Horse father and son duo of Brian and Lee Huxley (although we are pretty sure that Lee has been doing most of the driving this year) picked up their fifth Modurstang Pro ET championship with their nine second first-generation Mustang. Lee also reached the final here, but was bested by Nic Williams in the Williams Bros Racing leaping SS Chevelle on a double breakout final.

Andy Dibley took the Sportsman ET National title for the second sea-son in a row, but the event win went to James Forster in his 4Star Mustang that is more familiar in Pro ET competition.   (Ivan Sansom photos)

ACU Funny Bike had Allan Davies winning the event on the Gipp Racing nitrous Suzuki, defeating outgoing champion Phil Crossley and putting an exclamation point on his first ACU championship.  (Ivan Sansom photo)

The ACU Comp Bike field had the championship decided early on during eliminations when Eddy Smiley (in his final ACU event) progressed through the semifinals, but he wasn’t among the slew of champions doubling up with the event win as Mark Hope defeated him with a 7.5100/192 to a 7.7490/178 in an all Hayabusa match-up.

ACU Super Street Bike had its usual fun and games, although Rick Stubbins emerged once again as the class of the field, qualifying low with a 7.0765/202.35 from the Protek racer, setting class low ET with a 7.0536/201.52 in the semifinals and then winning the event with a 7.0635/202.46 to defeat Graham Balchin in a battle between the #1 and #2 in qualifying and, as it turns out, the 2017 ACU points. So that is FIM-E Euro Championship, Santa Pod track championship and the ACU championship in one season, which is very impressive going given the quality of the fields across all series this year.  (Ivan Sansom photo)

The Index Classes

Stuart Doignie hogged the championship limelight in the Super Comp and Super Gas classes, taking the UK National title in both for an astonishing third year in a row. Doignie also took the event win here in Super Comp over a redlighting Collin Morrice, but the curse of the cherry bit Doignie in the final of Super Gas handing the event win to Tim Adam in the Blitzkrieg Racing roadster.

The event win in Super Street went to Karen Stevens in her LassVega after fellow finalist Paul Marston didn’t make the call, but the championship had earlier been decided in favour of Leigh Morris in his howling straight 6 Jaguar.  (Ivan Sansom photos)
