| Wow, what a circuit. We arrived about eight in the
evening having stopped for a meal on the way up. It was a nice evening so
we walked the circuit. All 2.2 miles of it! It's up, down, narrow with
slow corners, fast corners, twisty bits the lot.
Needless to say after the walk we slept well. Waking up in the morning Marc Lawrence was outside after an early start. No problems with scruitineering and we were looking forward to seeing how the car went as there had been quite a few changes to the suspension and to the motor. Practice was uneventful, but Neil was disappointed that the improvements didn't make the car much better and he qualified well down the grid. After a super breakfast cooked by Jade we checked the Capri over and applied duct tape in strategic places so all the air going through the grille went through the radiator. We were first race in the afternoon and Neil had a real battle with Peter Holton. Neil was fast through the corners but he couldn't hold him on the straight and was third in class behind Peter and Dave Thomas who was miles in front. Stephen Primett won class C by a comfortable distance from Jason Christie with fastest lap as well. This increased his lead in the championship. Third place man Steven Young won class E and he is now equal with Neil. Stephen Primett 56
