The 2005 WSSCC/WRDA Dinner Dance and
Awards Evening on Saturday 4th February 2006 at The Fourcroft Hotel, Tenby was
the usual glittering occassion with the Awards presentation following an excellent
4-course meal. Andrew Williams the 2005 Champion holds the
Championship trophy aloft flanked by Lee David (2nd) and Adrian Chapman (3rd). After the
now tradtional raffle/auction which raised over £700, the evening ended with laughter, music and dancing.
The
2005 Welsh Sports and Saloon Car Championship season had
been another classic with race wins shared between several drivers but
consistent finishing by the eventual champion Andrew Williams in Saloon Car
Class C, saw him establish an early lead he was able to build into a commanding
points total.
The
Welsh Sports and Saloon Car Championship
was
now in its 15 year. Uniquely amongst club championship it holds a National title
and has always been open to all drivers. You don’t have to be Welsh to join in.
Virtually any sports and saloon car is eligible and there are young drivers like
Lee David and even pensioners like Adrian Chapman who must be the oldest Class
winner in the country!
Race
wins were spread around like never before and although 2000/01 Champion Terry
Brown won the first round, Jeff Davies, Richard Rhozon, Graham Cole & Steve
Griffiths all won but solid scoring and a string of mid season wins from Dave
and his thunderous Stealth saw him take Class A. Late in the year Peter Williams
& Tony Michael also won making it the most open series ever,
However
Andrew Williams driving a normally aspirated Ford Seirra Sapphire stamped his
authority on his class early on and fortunately on the rare occasions when he
failed to score, none of his main rivals could take advantage. Likewise in Class
B, Lee David, who started the year in a Vtec Rover Gti established an early
season lead in his class, although after having several big offs,
he began to lose touch with Andrew and eventually finished the season in a
different car, having to replace the Rover with a Honda CRX. Adrian Chapman took
advantage of a lack of competitors in his class to rack up a lot of points.
