What an excellent evening's racing. The club had a real buzz (more about Ollie's car in a minute!) about it. It might have seemed a bit 'cosy' at times but then there's more atmosphere and excitement.

I thought the new drivers were, even with attendant fathers (who looked as though they were itching to 'have a go'! ), remarkably well behaved. It can be a daunting experience for young drivers going to a (supposedly ) 'grown up' race meeting on a large track and they showed real restraint for their age.

Well done Ollie who did a fine job of offering words of wisdom (not exactly an old hand himself) to the new boys

Also well done Alex who, despite a scary 'Predator' T-shirt , must have seemed more approachable than the 'formidable' Oldies and took on the role of 'Brood Leader'.

Well done Steve, James T, and Harry who seemed to learn the track very quickly and put in some good laps despite the trickiness of the track and the not so easy to drive cars.

I've never heard a car make as much row as Ollie's did! It was so loud that JP took pity on him and switched it for a Scaly open top Corvette during the race! Ollie then had the curse of the gears for a second time when, leading the E Final, he had that slowing down feeling of a slipping pinion.

Well done Roger , who once again showed he's a real demon driver with the standard cars by overhauling Alex, who'd made a blistering start in the A final. I think Roger enjoyed the win.

Ken get's a 5.9 for his Mustang's triple Salco (or whatever it's called) off the end of the flyover.
