Keith Pettits Antics

August 2005 - Part 1

Keith's Mini was reliable this time and he sped to a convincing win some 13 seconds ahead of previous winner Owen Turner.

Richard Atherton is somewhere in the dust!

 
Mike Turner was in charge of the organisation at Falcon's August Antics Autotest and had designed some new, challenging and long tests not previously seen at Upper Caldecote. At first they looked a bit daunting but they were logical and flowed easily and together with some new colour coded marker posts there were fewer wrong courses than usual.

At first it looked as if Owen Turner would continue where he left off last time when he was quickest on the first test. However, Keith Pettit soon stamped his authority on the proceedings and was a second quicker on test two.

Then on the long test three Keith was an outstanding eight seconds faster than his nearest rival, Jamie Turner in his rally spec Metro. Owen fought back on test four where he was two seconds quicker than Keith but still had an eight second deficit on Keith at the lunch break.

After lunch Keith was fastest on the remaining tests to win by thirteen seconds. Behind the Keith/Owen battle Martin Cheshire was doing well in Arnold Lanes Mini and came close to beating the owner!

David Smoley won class C/D and Jonny Tovey the production class.
