Round 7- Snetterton 10th June 1984, 1 July 1984

According to the PC report, 'Snetterton was the first meeting to suffer from the absence of the works Austin Rover Group entries, and the effect was immediately evident- the race definitely lacked lustre'

I've only got a sketchy version of the result, as PC did their usual trick of covering two meetings in one report- and the other meeting covered was the GP support at Brands, which took up most of the report

Rouse led from pole, after 2nd place qualifier Weaver was left on the line with engine management system failure. Sytner finished 2nd, troubled by tyre wear and brake locking

In the classes, Dooley was fortunate to take Class B despite a broken gearbox mounting. Goode retired with engine troubles. PC commented that since the departure of the Metros, the class was still producing very most exciting and competitive racing, although the pace had dropped considerably

In Class C, Longman, having misread a pit signal over thenumber of laps remaining, was pipped by Rob Hall

Incidentally, I've been giving the wrong race number for the Kennedy/Grundig 635- from the photo I've just looked at, it should be 16, not 17, as I'd put in earlier posts...
