JASON Pipe has performed a U-turn and will be back to take charge of Buxton this season.Pipe quit the Hitmen prior to Christmas citing personal reasons, but has now had a change of heart and will return to the Hi-Edge Raceway.Club chief Jayne Moss said: “Jason regretted his decision to stand down almost immediately and a break over the Christmas period has reinforced his wish to continue. “There was no falling out between us but Jason had let things get on top of him and he felt he had to step down. “There may be an occasion or two this year when Jason will not be available due to work commitments and if that is the case then Joshua Moss will step in to cover for him.”
