Skyline of Ric Wood ran second until slowing in the final laps and was nearly caught by the battling Sierra RS500s of Dave Coyne and Sean Brown .
Garrad picked up where he left off on Saturday to guide the fire-breathing Nissan Skyline home for a commanding win in Sunday ’ s second race . However , he was never too far ahead as Paul Mensley drove a fine race in his Sierra RS500 to lead the chase .
In the Historic Touring Cars , the Ford Falcon of Dan Williamson went clear for a resounding win as Lotus Cortinas and Minis and battled in his wake as Marcus Jewell headed home Bill Sollis . On Sunday , Williamson completed a weekend double but the race was best noted for a fantastic four-way Mini battle that went all the way to the line as Dan Wheeler headed Sollis , Nick Paddy and David Ogden as little more than a second covered them after a wonderful contest .
Wrapping up Saturday ’ s racing was a round of the Classic Formula 3 and Classic Formula Ford 2000 championship and once again it was Andrew Smith in his March 783 who set a searing pace . Benn Tilley gave valiant chase in his earlier March but could not rival Smith . In third , Tony Hancock ( Lola T670 ) completed the podium , while David Thorburn narrowly pipped Keith
White for fourth and Murray Shepherd was best of the Formula Ford 2000s . The second race followed a similar pattern as rain threatened and Smith wrapped up his weekend with another win over Tilley . Hancock was third , while Shepherd was impressive once more as he topped the FF2000 division .
A fantastic 70s Road Sports grid was further boosted by some cars in the 80s Production series . On a wet track , it was young Will Plant who was the class of the field to take his second win of the season in his Morgan + 8 . His father Richard ran second early on but came under increasing pressure from renowned rain master John Williams , who was briefly able to get his Porsche 911 up into second before Plant senior re-took the place . Behind them , the TVRs of Julian Barter and Dave Karaskas battled for the honour of Blackpool .
Tony Sinclair in the spray
At the end of the afternoon , the Historic Road Sports field had an increasingly wet track to deal with and Kevin Kivlochan found that out to his cost at the first corner when he spun his AC Cobra . Meanwhile , Robin Pierce took control in his Morgan + 8 , as Kivlochan set about a stirring recovery drive . However , another quick spin in the loop cost him any chance of catching the Morgan , but second was Kivlochan ’ s reward as the Lotus Elans of John Davison and Paul Tooms battled over third place .
Finally , the GT and Sports Car Cup was a welcome guest race for the weekend with a magnificent 55-car field for a one-hour enduro . Best of the pack was the Jaguar E-type of Julian Thomas who shared the car with Calum Lockie as Lockie took his third win of the weekend . Leading the chase of the E-type was the ex-Bruce McLaren Lotus 15 of Roger Wills and David Clark .
