Hi, Terry; unless we all carry high profile TT logos how are we going to know who to introduce ourselves to? Incidentally, I should have corrected myself and said Russell 'Bend' although 'chicane' would be a better description wouldn't it?

Race 2, for the Swing Sixties Series was to a similar format as Race 1, although more drivers elected to go solo. Two E-types occupied the front row and for much of the race Harry Wyndham seemed to hold sway over poleman, Nick McCaffery. However by the end McCaffery took the win by nearly 17 seconds; was that time lost by Wyndham in the pits, or an on track moment?:-


Mentioned already but here is John Leslie who drove his Reliant Sabre 6GT from a relatively lowly grid position, so smoothly and consistently, that it netted him a fine 4th place, and class win. In the background, Geof Mussell's Mustang which came 5th:-


The Stevens/Mcdonald Peerless GT Phase 1 which finished 10th, the Ginetta G4 of Chris Blewett who finished 12th, and the Mark Hadfield Spitfire which, unfortunately, pitted after 19 laps with what appeared to be an engine failure:-


The Wos/Hutchinson Scimitar GTE which finished 7th followed by the Beavis/Matthews Lancia Fulvia HF which came 9th:-
