Classic Quality & Quantity
The 5th Scottish Speedfair & Classics Festival attracted a record 39 SMRC Classic Sport & Saloon Entries. This enabled split grids for the first time with Classes A&B and C&D racing separately in perfect conditions and thrilling the crowd with some the closest dicing seen this season.
Saturday morning qualification was hectic with so many cars on track , however, the field drove well to avoid any mishaps yielding John Marshall's Escort on pole and Olly Ross's Europa alongside in the class A&B race and Andy Smith's Morgan+ 8 and Stan Bernard's 911 alongside for classes C&D.
In Race 1 for A&B, Olly stole the lead off the start but was soon passed by John's more powerful and pristine class B Escort 2 litre with those positions being maintained to the end of the race. Further down the order scrapping was intense with Jimmy Crowe in another 2 litre Escort just holding off Donald Laird's Elan by less than a second to take the final podium position followed by the Longford Escort and Merrell Alfa a hair's breadth apart.
First of the class A cars was Harry Simpson in the white Davrian followed in that class by Nic Boye's re-engined Mini Cooper and George Leitch's Mini Ogle. Race 2 for A&B on Sunday mirrored the same first four positions but with the Davrian taking a fine 5th overall and again winning Class A followed by Nic and George.
Race 1 for classes C & D saw the Smith Morgan predictably pulling away from the white 911 to finish in that order with Gordon Naismith taking 3rd in his TR8 after a close dice with Willie Roberston's Datsun 240Z , the two of them finishing less than 0.3 secs apart. Further close racing included Mike Connon's Sunbeam, Adam Bernard's 911 (minus 2nd gear) and Raymond Boyd's 911. Sunday's race 2 again had the Morgan & 911 1st and 2nd with Barry Riddell making a superb charge through the field from last on the grid to finish 3rd overall to also secure Driver of the Day award. Willy Toye in his new TR8 was 4th after starting 12th and Mario's Ferrari 5th after putting in his best lap times of the year.
Rounds 9 & 10 of the Championship will be back at Knockhill on the 25th July when it is likely that the number of entries will again necessitate welcome and separate races for A&B and C&D.
