🔥 WEST WATERFORD RACING TEAM TAKES ON CARLOW! 🔥
What a day of racing in Carlow on Sunday, with eight West Waterford drivers flying the flag across four classes and putting on a show from the first green flag to the final chequered flag.
🏁 MEN'S CLASS 1
The mighty Micras were out in force as Deathstroke (WW259), Deadpool (WW470), The Flying Dutchman (WW112) and Bumblebee (WW570) battled it out.
While trophies and championships are always the goal, there's something special about racing your own teammates for bragging rights!
Deathstroke WW259 1st, 1st, 1st
The Flying Dutchman WW112 3rd, 3rd, 3rd
Deadpool WW470 4th, 3rd, 3rd Bumblebee WW570 5th, 4th, 4th
Deathstroke was simply unstoppable, launching into the lead and refusing to give it up. The Flying Dutchman briefly showed his nose in front in one heat, but Deathstroke fired straight back down the inside to reclaim the position and never looked back.
Deadpool drove like a man possessed all day, throwing everything at the car and leaving absolutely nothing behind on track.
LADIES CLASS 1
The battle of the day belonged to teammates Red Arrow WW250 and Bumblebee WW570.
These two put on an absolute masterclass of close racing. Lap after lap they traded positions, running side by side through corners, swapping the lead, crossing over and fighting wheel to wheel. Every heat had spectators glued to the action as neither driver was willing to give an inch.
When the dust settled it was:
Red Arrow WW250 1st, 1st, 1st Bumblebee WW570 2nd, 2nd, 2nd
The results don't tell the full story. This was one of the closest and most exciting battles we've seen all season, with either driver capable of taking victory at any moment.
CLASS 4
Joker took the Micra out against larger and more powerful machinery as Classes 3 and 4 were combined on track.
With faster cars ahead, Joker had targets to chase and pushed hard. Confidence grew with every lap and by the third heat he was reeling them in and showing exactly what the little Micra could do.
Joker 1st, 1st, 1st
A brilliant drive and another hat trick of wins for the team.
JUNIORS
Cora Kearney WW250 continued to impress in the Junior ranks.
🥉 3rd 🥉 3rd 🥈 2nd
She was 5th in the final after showing strong pace all day, but once again proved she belongs right at the sharp end of the field.
⭐ THREE HAT-TRICKS FOR WEST WATERFORD! ⭐
Deathstroke – 1st, 1st, 1st
Red Arrow – 1st, 1st, 1st
Joker – 1st, 1st, 1st
Three drivers. Three perfect scorecards. Nine race wins.
Not a bad day's work! 💪
