RACE 1
Alex Montgomery, MGBV8, won his first race in the championship after a
long, close battle with Bruce Mitchell, Lotus Europa. A spin at the last corner demoted Mitchell to third, as he was passed by Alastair Baptie, Fiat X1/9. Ian Blacklin was fourth, in a Ford Capri 3000.
Early leader, Tommy Gilmartin, Morgan +8, and second placed Harry Simpson,
Ginetta G4R, retired after two laps following a collision, shown in video below.
Miraculously, both were unhurt.

Michael Longstaffe, MG Midget, competed in the championship for the first time.
RACE 2
Montgomery was unable to start race two due to a problem on the starting grid.
Mitchell took the lead and was never headed, despite the best efforts of Baptie,
both drivers achieving new class records during this race. This was the first win for Mitchell. Blacklin came third, followed by Calum McRae, TVR350i.
Next event is at Knockhill on May 7th.
