In brief 
The Group A Hot Rods were dominated by the Groom Motorsports cars at the April 15 meeting as Jason Griffiths pulled down a heat and final double from the white grade, the higher grade cars finding the route through the field difficult. This all changed, however, when the rain hit in the last throws of the meeting which caused many drivers problems, not expecting the change in conditions. This favoured the experts, Gary Finch picking up his first win since the start of the season.

There was a big turnout of Ministox for the April 15 Arena Essex meeting including visitors from the south and from as far north as Scotland, Raymond Miller and Dennis Middler joining Midlands visitor Timothy Crew to swell the numbers attending. However it was Anthony Lawrence from just across the Dartford Crossing that had the best travel as he managed to win the Experts race then grabbed the Final. Miller got the best finish of the day in the final when he crossed the line second in the final, demoted to third for contact.

It looked like Buster Woods would dominate the SuperBangers in their first meeting of the year at Arena Essex, April 15, and may well have done, grabbing a win in both heats, but the weather change at the end of the meeting slowed everyone down, giving occasional commentator and former 1300 Saloon Stock timesharer Geoff Hughes a chance which he didn't pass up, winning the final ahead of Woods.
