Link Up Ltd MSA British Autotest Championship - Round 3: Kent Driver Autotest, 31 May

Alastair Moffatt took his second FTD of the year at the Kent Driver Autotest organised by Maidstone and Mid Kent MC and and moved into the lead of the 2009 Link Up Ltd MSA British Autotest Championship.  The reigning champion driving his Mini Special was pushed hard by the Caterham of Richard Pinkney, but held on to win 10.8 seconds. 

Howard Everingham in his Mini returned to winning form beating the Mini of Anthony Preston by 8.9 seconds in Class A.  Class B honours went to the Nova of John Moffatt who had recently broken his foot and had recently had an operation to pin the offending limb and drove through the pain to win the class by over 34 seconds from Lee Valentine.

Star drive of the class was Junior competitor Chris Chapman, who put in a stunning drive to finish 4th in class and 5th overall.
