A fabulous day at Cadwell Park, great racing; fine weather; quality entertainment for the small, enthusiastic crowd at the circuit, and for those watching on the live stream.

Russell Paterson, Morgan(#72) won the first race comfortably from John Kinmond, Rover SD1(#63), despite slow pace away from the start line.
Andy Graham, TR7V8(#78) was third, just ahead of Martin Reynolds in Ford Escort(#27). The MGBV8(#13) of Alistair Baptie was fifth, Tim Moll, Golf(#84) sixth,
Elliot Paterson, Morgan(#73) seventh, Alasdair Coates, Escort(#2) eighth, Craig Houston, Lotus Excel(#91) ninth and completing the top ten was Lotus 7(#17) of Gary Thomas.
Next was Adam Kinmond, Rover(#64), followed by Charlie Cope, Golf(4#), Jimmy Crow, Escort(#21), Donald Dewar, Golf(#70), Ronnie Haines, Escort(#188), Charles Colledge, Mini Marcos(#50),
Duncan O’Neill, Fiesta(#66) and David Reilly, Fiesta(#36). Two cars failed to finish, the Triumph GT6(#56) of Clive Gimson and Clan Crusader(#247) of Pete Richards –
both were repaired and completed race two. Fastest lap was by Russell Paterson.

Alasdair Coates and Elliot Paterson were unable to start race two, leaving eighteen competitors.
Again, Russell Paterson didn’t get a perfect start, allowing John Kinmond to take the lead which he maintained to the end. Unfortunately, Russell retired on lap two.
Martin Reynolds maintained pressure on the leader and was less than two seconds behind at the end, having recorded fastest lap. Graham and Baptie swapped places,
with Graham just ahead in third place. Moll was fifth, Cope sixth, Thomas seventh, followed by Adam Kinmond, Crow, Haines, Gimson, Colledge, Richards, O’Neill and Dewar.

Series sponsor Edinburgh Watch Company proprietor, Jonathan Gilbert, presented the driver of the day award to Andy Graham.


The next event is at Knockhill on 21st August.
