    Overall ChampionshipWith 2 rounds to go the overall championship is down to 2 drivers Richard Price in class 3 and Chris Howard-Harris in class 4. Chris needs to win one of the remaining 2 rounds to be crowned champion as he has the better tie-breaker results. However if he fails to win at either the last 2 rounds Richard will take the honours.In the race for 3rd place Simon Rogers (class 5) needs to win both remaining events otherwise Andrew Willoughby (class 2) will take 3rd place.Ladies ChampionshipIt is as you were in the ladies championship as Lynn Gilbert dropped her Wiscombe score (93.49) and Suzanne Gibson not entering. Lynn Gilbert is currently on 476.92 and Suzanne Gibson on 473.81. Ex ladies champion (2008) Tamara Calvert look safe in 3rd place 467.27Novice ChampionshipTom Price (497.32) is already confirmed as the 2010 novice champion, as neither David Dowson (480.02) and Chris Bramall (467.65) can catch him now.Class 1Andrew Willoughby is the class 1 champion for 2010. Alastair Gibbins (695.38) has done enough for the runners up spot, 3rd place looks to be Alan Johnsons (686.40) who took the win at the latest round and Paul Brown (678.83) with only a theoretical chance of catching him up.Class 2Matthew Jenkins is the class 2 champion for 2010, to add to his 2 previous class 1 championships in 2006 and 2007. 2nd and 3rd place looks a 3 way fight between Graham Howard (690.18), Robert Spencer (688.66) and Alan Bowler (589. 45 from 6 events)Class 3Richard Price is the class 3 champion for 2010, to add to his 2 previous class 2 championships in 2006 and 2009. There is a 5 way battle for the runners up positions between Michael Calvert (696.22), Jeff Smith (695.37), Mark Gibson (693.72), Matthew Willoughby (693.03) and novice Tom Price (687.41) as he has a lowly Loton Park score he will be hoping to drop. Class 4Chris Howard-Harris (700.00) is the class4 champion for 2010 after a season long battle with Mike Sankey (699.43) who could not follow up is Aintree win with the Wiscombe win he needed. Paul Forster (686.11) still leads Stuart Miller (686.911) but has gained significantly on Paul after dropping a poor Shelsley score.Chris still has everything to play for as he is gunning for the overall championship and needs just 1 more win. A fact his class 4 competitors I am sure are aware off going into the final 2 rounds.Class 5Simon Rogers (699.93) is confirmed as the 2010 Class 5 Champion to make it a hat-trick of class 5 titles. 2nd and 3rd places look to be between Adrian Williams (697.72) and Mark Durrant (696.20), although if Shaun Elwell can replicate his win at Wiscombe he could sneak into 3rd place.Class 6As no competitor will be able to complete 7 rounds this year there will be no Class 6 champion for 2010.Please click the read more link for detailed scores (in pdf)
