The last day of school for the kids sees opportunities for all to have a last blast for season 26. Archie Bryant (511) has undoubtedly been the outstanding driver of the year. He leads his nearest rival by 40 points going into the meeting, but the likes of Austin Latimer (620), the retiring Henry Chiplen (107). It’s a one-off race where anything can happen, and it usually does!
