John Lowther/Matty Rostron captured third whilst fourth place went to White Rose Racing’s Shaun Chandler/Ben Chandler.
Remaining racers to complete Saturday’s sole Sidecar race at England’s only active real roads circuit were Bruce Moore/Ashley Moore, Paul Riley/Jody James, Chris Schofield/Shaun Parker, Lee Eastell/Andy Haynes and solo, three wheeling Mountain Course exponent Alun Thomas/Adam Nix.
