ASM end of season demolition and car racing championships

The day’s program which starts at 11.00am will include races for the Autocross and Banger racers. A Car Demolition race is also included in the day’s program to mark the End of Season’s racing.
 
Though a smaller number of demolition drivers have registered for this Demolition car race, the spectacular show will still be present. We are expecting a great show from the participant. This race starts at about 4.00pm. A car Line-up and a two lap’s parade are performed prior to the racing and banging of the cars.
 
In the Autocross races of last event one must remark that Patrick Cassar won all the three Heats of the day including the Class A nine Lap Final race on his fast Opel Corsa 1400cc. Emanuel Muscat on another Opel held his 2nd place ahead of Christian Galea on a Fiat Ritmo right to the end of the race. Muscat and Galea will be declared Autocross Champion and Runner-up in this weekend’s racing.
 
Melo Zammit (Escort Mk3) and Ryan Scerri on a Fiesta Mk2 made an excellent start in the Final B race but Scerri was forced to retire due to a mechanical fault after two laps. Thus he made it easier for Godwin Martin on another Opel to take 2nd place to the chequered flag. Ivan Birmingham on his Suzuki Swift won 3rd place in this race Final.
 
In the Banger races, Philip Delia and Mario Micallef won 1st and 2nd place in all of the three day’s heats. They were superior over all other competitors in the same race.

The Motocross Class B was well challenged between three leading riders. The day’s points results marked Mario Cauchi (Honda 250cc) as the class B winner. Gozo rider Andre Saliba on a Yamaha and Charles Borg on a Honda won 2nd and 3rd places respectively.
In the Motocross Junior Class, Etienne Bigeni, Kyle Camilleri and Charlo Bonnici won the first three class places. These younger riders compete on the larger track but for a smaller number of race laps.
