As one of the highest points earners on the day so far, John started from the rear of the grid and worked so hard in his usual Mickel rocket fashion to make contact with the leaders when his engine failed him and left him with a D.N.F.

Paul Simmons suffered axle trouble and did well to limp home in 13th place.

Mike Schlup did the honours for Mickel Motorsport making the top ten for a second time at Anglesey finishing in 10th place.

John Mickel collected the 1st place trophy on Sunday, winning Round 4 with Paul Simmons collecting Master of the day on both rounds for his amalgamation of points each day.. 

John said “For a disastrous weekend we have done well really. I came to Anglesey leading the Championship by a small margin and I leave Anglesey in 2nd place but with only a very small gap of 30 points behind the Championship leader. I had one DNF and one very slow race so the points could have been looking so much worse. It is still very early days and there is still a lot more racing to do in my K-Seal Legend. This only makes things more interesting”.
