Post Historic
Win for Nigel Garrett
Steve
Primett was third but this didn't effect the championship which he had
already secured at Pembrey.
David Howard
was on pole and led for the first lap before slipping back on the second
lap and allowing newly crowned Post Historic champion Steve Primett into
the lead in his Escort RS2000. Steve held the position until lap nine when
Nigel Garrett slipped past in his rapid Dolomite Sprint. David Howard had
climbed back through the field after his earlier misdemeanour, he managed
to get past Steve on the last lap but stayed in front to take the
chequered flag.

Group

Roger Stanford wins but Jim McLoughlin secures
championship
This was
a very wet race and it was touch and go if it ran, with rain, wind and a
lot of standing water on the circuit.

David Howard
was on pole but the big Jaguar was not at all at home with the slippery
conditions and it was Roger Stanford who took an early lead, pulling away
from second place man, David Hickton in his delightful Opel Ascona. As the
race went on David got faster and passed Roger on the penultimate lap.
However, Roger was out for his hat trick to repass on the last lap to take
the flag.
Behind Jim
McLoughlin was thinking championship and took it easy at the start to
circulate second in his class behind Alan Roper. This would have
been sufficient to securte his crown but Jim is a racer and got past on
the last lap to win his class and finish third overall.
