Peter Hallford ’ s Ford Mustang
Ted Pearson heads a Formula Ford battle
Nick Haryett in Historic FF2000 up position over Ian Pearson , who was third and fourth in the two races .
John Davison was easily the class of the Historic Road Sports field and his Lotus Elan out-paced the Morgan Plus 8s in the 25-minute race . The situation was never settled for second as Tim Pearce just edged John Shaw in a battle of the Plus 8s and for Shaw a debut overall podium was a fine way to end his season . Simon King brought his Plus 8 into fourth before the next best Elans of Robert Rowe and Chris Merrick .
Two races for Historic Touring Cars delivered superb entertainment and a wet qualifying session and a damp truck made the opener a really absorbing affair . Dan Williamson initially led in the mighty Ford Falcon but the first of two spins cost him time and allowed Tim Sims to get ahead in his Mini . As the track dried a little more Sims was being reeled in by Peter Hallford ’ s Ford Mustang and Bob Bullen in the best of the Lotus Cortinas . Sims bravely held on to win even though the gap was down to 15 hundredths of a second at the flag and it would surely not have lasted another lap .
At the end of Sunday the track was fully dry and that allowed Williamson to take a resounding win in the Falcon as Hallford chased from a distance and Mike Gardiner came through to top the Lotus Cortinas in third place .
