[Top Down]

Saturday May 13th race night:

Although Mark Jay was ill we were still able to rustle up eight racers, Max returning with renewed enthusiasm to show and run some of his new cars bought in Spain.
 
The first class was for standard 'Vic blueprinted' Club Rally Peugeots. All races are run at around 11-12 volts, ensuring plenty of close racing with maximum fun and minimum damage. Bill won by just a tenth of a lap from David and seven tenths from Vic, with the rest of the field closely bunched.

               

Not sure whether Aaron had been running the first race but he certainly took to the track for the next club class, forty year old 'mini-lorries'. Racing was even closer here with the win being taken by David. Again the winning margin was just a tenth of a lap, with Shaun and Vic tying for third. Despite 30gms of weight augmenting the weak old traction magnet some were still finding it difficult to keep the shiny side up! 

               

The Feature race and what they'd all been looking forward to, was for 'Open' Owner/Driver Rally cars.  A huge and varied field was entered, Audi's being most popular with three being entered, joined by two Metro 6R4's, two Citroens an old school Mk1 Escort and the usual Subaru, Focus, RS200, Porsche, etc! The win went to Vic with an Audi, followed by David's faithful '33 Export' 6R4. Shaun took third spot, I think with the other 6R4.
