REIGNING champion Anthony Queripel picked up from where he left off as he claimed victory in the opening sand race of the season.

JOHN SEALLEY was adjudged driver of the day after his best ever showing on the Chouet sands.

TOP Guernsey sandracer Anthony Queripel is delighted that the British championships will be held on the island next summer.

GUERNSEY sand racing history will be made next summer as two new British champions will be crowned on one bumper afternoon of racing at Vazon.

ROUND four of the Winter Championship was a meeting of continuation as Ozzy Ozanne took part in only two races but took maximum points, Derek Brown won both veterans’ races to double his lead and Marilyn Robilliard took over the women’s points lead.

THE solid sands of Vazon could be the ideal surface for sidecar racers more used to speedway or grass tracks to show their skills, according to one of the sport’s leading exponents.

NUMBERS for the final meeting of the 2011 season were reduced due to the counter-attraction of the Alderney motor sport weekend and a family wedding.

BRUISED, battered and still in a state of shock, Nigel Ozanne has admitted he might call it a day as far as motor racing is concerned.

EIGHT cars came to the line for the toughest challenge of the sand racing season.

MITCH GODDEN battled adversity to prove he is the king of Vazon for a fifth time on Saturday afternoon.
