Race 2 - Toyo Tyres XJS Championship

Race 1 was for Classic bikes, and great though they are, I'm not going there!

Race 2 was for XJS, straight 6 and V12, rangeing from 1979 to 1993, so I reckon they are historic now. These, by European standards anyway, are big machines and a grid of 27 was mighty impressive. Lots of mass to keep under control, great sounds and plenty of rubber laid down and dusted kicked up!:-

Steve Davis put his V12 on pole and won by 7 seconds although Gail Hill (1), the current champion, who finished 2nd was not always that far back:-


Bob Beecham finished 25th in his Straight Six version:-


Roger Webster's straight 6 was 18th:-


Stewart Lyddall's mean looking V12 was 3rd:-
