The first Solo Northern Series event of the year took place at Shotwick Lake SC, just before the club suspended all racing due to the coronavirus COVID-19 restrictions.
Making the most of what is likely the final Solo class open event for a while, 18 entries from seven different clubs enjoyed three well run races (with bacon butties for lunch).
Martin Honner from Ogston SC clinched overall victory with a final race win ahead of Steve Dennison, with Gordon Bennell of the host club taking third place overall.
The second Northern Series event at Carsington SC is cancelled.
