MIRA - SBD British Sprint Championship Rd 7

[Steve Wilkinson]

What a cracking run-off. Very tight battle up front which finally went to Tony Eyles on the last run. Battles all down the order in the run-off and with some "interesting" results in the classes.

Top Twelve:
1. Tony Eyles (2.5 Force-Opel V6) 41.87
2. Martin Dowling (3.5 Reynard-Judd V8) 42.09
3. Tony Wiltshire (2.0 Ralt-Peugeot) 42.53
4. Terry Holmes (2.0 Reynard-Cosworth) 44.11
5. Steve Broughton (1.3 OMS-Suzuki) 44.40
6. Jim Yardley (1.6 Beagle-Honda) 44.86
7. Dave Sims (2.0 Ralt-Duratec) 44.94
8. Kevin Lealan (2.0 FVL) 45.71
9. Phil Lynch (2.0 Ralt-Alfa Romeo) 45.73
10. Simon Ashby (2.0 Reynard-Millington) 46.42
11. Tracey Ashby (2.0 Reynard-Millington) 47.63
DNS - Andrew Platt (2.0 Dallara-Vauxhall)

Hamish Lindsay in his 500 Jedi took the 1100 Racing Car class and was 14th fastest qualifier for the run-off!

Dick Hulbert took the Up to 2 litre Mod Prod Kit Car class in the 1700 Vauxhall powered Westfield and would have squeezed into the run-off if he had been registered!

Finally the Michelin Porsche runners had a whale of a time with Colin Belton in the 993 RSR running out the overall winner. Simon Butterworth's Boxer left looking decidedly second hand after a quick roll as he exited the last corner!
