Here we are with two race meetings and one hill climb left to complete the season.
Unfortunately I couldn’t race last weekend, but I was there and really enjoyed watching good competitive, clean Historic racing. It was great to walk the pits enjoying the enthusiasm from everyone out there doing it. We had 21 cars in our races which were a mix of Super Historics, Formula Ford and Formula Juniors, and because of this had rolling starts. ( I would love to have been part of it )
Alistair unfortunately spun near the end of the first race entering Jennian, and touched the wall with his nose cone, which came off second best. That ended his weekend. Ben and Phil decided to do a 9 lap race and got called up to the “Beak” to answer for their misdemeanor.
Tony Cross and Ian were at the meeting and announced he is coming back to race with us. He has purchased the John & Trudy Cameron Lola, had it put back to legal & will be out with us next season. ( if not before )
Barry Thomas has joined with us with his Royale RP16 and raced steadily over the weekend having a lot of fun. Michael Clark has a continual smile on his face and is having a ball. ( and his lap times show it )
The points series is very close in both series to date, the first five are;
Major Series:
Richard 317
Dave 292
Phil 269
Mike 257
Ben 244
Minor Series:
Dave 190
Mike 172
Phil 150
Richard 147
Vic 129
Our next meeting is TACCOC April 13 where we get Qualifying and 3 races in the 1 day event. I have surgery on my shoulder on the 1st April so don’t think I can race, but I will be there.
Cheers
Bruce
