DESPITE setting two personal bests and a new UK record over the weekend, mechanical problems ensured that Litlington-based motorcycle drag racer Ian King finished runner-up in the Top Fuel Bike final at the UK Summernationals.
King, 46, who runs King Racing, had led the final at the half way stage, before a belt broke on his bike to hand victory to rival Ian Turburville.
King Racing, who hold the European speed record, will next be in action at Mantorp Park in Sweden from July 24-27.
TALENTED Royston racer Kieren Clark is set to further his progress by competing at the Snetterton rounds of the Formula Renault UK series this weekend.
Clark, 19, said: "I like Snetterton, and had a very good test session there last week, so I'm definitely up for it.
"I start the race from 15th spot, but I am aiming to secure better qualifying places in the two sessions ahead of Sunday's races.
