WINGFIELD MOTORS POWER SERIES 8 – JESSICA RATTLES MALE EGO’S

Clubmans, Classic & Breakfast Run Motorcycles 2x8Laps


Pole position went to Jessica Howden aboard her class A Ducati Panagale V2 with a time of 1min18:311, edging out veteran Hilton Redelinghuys and his Classic 888 Motorcycles Kawasaki ZX7R by 0.650 sec and Deon Ebel slotting into third aboard his Clubmans Class A Maui Jim Honda CBR1000RR.


The little lady then really rubbed salt into the frail male ego’s by dominating the first heat, taking a well deserved victory from Deon Ebel and Motorcycle chairman, Wayne Arendse aboard his JJ Smith Trust Clubmans Class A Kawasaki ZX10R. Reginald Seale hot on his heels with Nasief Smart, Yamaha YZF1000 Clubmans Class A, fifth and Zobair Adams, EVS Ventilation Service Clubmans Class A Suzuki GSXR750, home sixth.


Mechanical maladies forced the withdrawal of Hilton Redelinghuys from the first heat but heat two seemed to be going his way after the Ducati spat Jessica Howden off with a rather mean highside coming out of Turn 1 (leading  to a red flag). Fortunately she was (in motorcycle terms) not injured and it was the Classic machine heading the tussle for the lead after the restart.


Then, coming up to turn five for the sixth and final time it was Reginald Seale in command aboard his CX International Clubmans Class A Yamaha YZF R1 with Jamie Hall, Master Glass Clubmans Class B Yamaha R1, 0.620 seconds later and Nick Benn, Two Wheel Solutions Clubmans Class B Suzuki GSXR1000,  third by another 0.690. Hilton Redelinghuys fourth, just 0.034 seconds adrift. Wayne Arendse fifth and Wayne Gresse, Breakfast Run Kawasaki ZX10, sixth.  


Overall Reginald Seale pulled off a somewhat surprising victory from Jamie Hall, Nick benn, Wayne Arendse, Rob de Vos and Wayne Gresse.
