Lightnings set to strike Hunts

by Lee Bratley 1 Oct 2015 20:30 BST 3 October 2015

Following a superb Nationals weekend a few weeks ago, the Lightning368s are on their travels again as we head off to another new-for-2015 venue for the latest round of the 2015 Grand Prix series.

Hunts SC in Cambridgeshire plays host to the latest round, this coming Saturday (3rd of October) with a healthy sized fleet lined up to take part.

Unfortunately, current series leader Caroline Key is unable to attend, creating a huge opportunity for the likes of Paul White, Penny Yarwood and Simon Hopkins to close the gap - or even take the lead of the series.

With several newcomers to the fleet also set to attend, it's sure to be a fantastic day to see the real strength of the Lightning fleet - close but very friendly.

There will be a briefing at 10.30 on Saturday morning, with starts scheduled for no earlier than 11.00am.

Hunts is easily accessible from the A1/A14, set your satnav for PE27 4YA if you'd like to come and see the fleet in all its glory.
