2002 BIO-CLEAR Lark in the Park - (Sat) 20 Jul 02

Posted: July 24, 2002 7:46 AM

Sponsor and past winner, Eugene Donnelly, pushed Biggerstaff to the wire, with just 0.4 of a second separating the drivers at the end. A relieved Biggerstaff said at the end, that he never drove the Metro as hard as to-day, inside the tight turns of the Park.... I had to keep it tidy..... and it really paid off."

The Maiden City Club had a double celebration for Biggerstaff, with the cheque for £500 going to the Dromara driver, in a very close finish in the shoot out.

Donnelly nearly did the Time trail, when he got to within a fraction of a second, but slipped away after some 'cold' tire choice' prevented the Celica getting maximum grip. Donnelly only got the Celica sorted after a mad engine dash from Germany, to ensure the car ran in the Park to-day, following the sump and oil failure on the Sligo event last week-end.
