Some great racing, wonderful camaraderie, loads of laughs and everyone on both sides contributing to the team score. This time, the VSCC team was the winner.
Many thanks to Lyndon Thruston and Charlie Plain-Jones and the 750 MC as a whole for all their help and support. Also to Colin Ayre (VSCC Chief Handicapper) without whom no-one would have been able to work out how to start the race, let alone finish!
Finally, a very big thank you to both sets of racers, many of whom gave up part of their bank holiday to support the event. As for our team, Dave Hubble won the race, John Moss came a most worthy 3rd, Hugh Birley flew in from Majorca, David Birnage lent out one of his cars and Simon Gallon stepped in to drive Birney’s car and of course to everyone else who made such a great effort to overall event. What a team!
