Report from da' Boss
The drivers on lanes 1 - 6 were: Dave Lees, Michael
Thomson, Steve Taylor, Ed Shorer, George Kimber and Tony
James.
The track at Raceway 81 is fast and open in comparison
with the North London track from round one. This
punished the slightly difficult cars when a de-slot, in
spite of the driver's best intentions, can cost a car a
lot of distance in the race and goes some way to explain
the much wider spread of lap totals in the race results.
The good news is that very little obvious damage
occurred and what there was consisted of loosened detail
parts and paint flakes. I have yet to examine each car
in detail though.
My heartfelt thanks to those who volunteered their time
after a busy day of Retro racing to drive, race direct
and marshal the Driftin' Fifties car. I remain in their
dept.
