Stafford getting ever nearer
James Stafford is getting ever nearer his 3rd Wexford win taking just over 4″ more out of Stephen McCann. The big news is that we can’t see Richie Moore on the time sheet after the second spin around Ardinagh, what has happened here, we will try to find out, maybe just trying to push too hard to get second place. Wesley Patterson seems to be good for 3rd place with Tomás O’Rourke closing in on Leon Galvin for 4th. as we said earlier the battle for 6th & 7th is an absolute cracker, John Reddington has closed the gap to Darren O’Brien to 0.2″, you can’t get much closer!! Paul Rowley is only 13″ behind O’Brien as well, the last two stages could be rather interesting. Justin Smyth and Adrian Evans are now the last two cars in the top 10.
