Rain doesn't stop 100,000 Thundersprint fans

DESPITE MONSOON conditions, over 100,000 spectators packed into Northwich to see this year's Thundersprint.

Fastest time of the day went to Irish Road Race Champion Gary Jamison with an incredible time of 24.54 seconds. Not the fastest ever lap at the Thundersprint but one which was incredible in the horrendous conditions.







Thundersprint organiser, Frank Melling said: "Everyone from race and cavalcade entrants to traders and spectators thought that this was the best Thundersprint ever - certainly until the heavens opened in the afternoon. We had no serious accidents on the track and no incidents away from it. Overall, a great credit to everyone involved with the event. I also want to offer a special thanks to the tens of thousands of spectators who stayed on right until the last race braving what were truly horrendous conditions. Thundersprint fans are the best in the world and Northwich is truly the home of the Thundersprint.
