Malcolm Smith should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Scottish classic competitors were spared the rain and snow which prevailed during other races
at Knockhill on 6th May. Eight of the twenty-six drivers were having their first outing of the year,
including newcomer Bruce Weir. The trend which developed in 2011, of many drivers choosing selected
events rather than the complete calendar, seems to be continuing this year.

Anyone studying the results would see a very close finish to both races, with the top three cars
between one and two seconds apart and those in fourth to sixth places very close behind.
This conceals the effortless manner in which Andrew Smith (Morgan +8) won both races.
His nearest rivals, however, had intense battles to maintain their positions.
Further down the order, many cars were closely matched, especially those
in the smallest capacity class.

Class Winners (both races unless stated) :
A Nic Boyes (Mini Cooper)
B Donald Laird (Lotus Elan)
C Robert Marshall (Ford Escort)
D Raymond Boyd (Porsche 911), Stan Bernard (Porsche 911)
E Andrew Smith (Morgan +8)

The next two rounds are at Oulton Park on Saturday 2nd June.
