Changeable conditions; dry qualifying followed by rain at the beginning of the first race, and during most of the second, made for two challenging rounds of Scottish Classics yesterday. John Kinmond, Rover SD1, was the winner of both, each time from Andy Graham, TR7V8. Kenny Brown, TVR, was just behind Graham in race one, with championship leader, Charlie Cope, Golf GTi, third place in race two. Fastest lap in each race was by Graham.
Class A victory in race one was taken by Michael Longstaffe, MG Midget, one second clear of Paul Bowers, Fiat 128 Coupe. Iain Mitchell, Vauxhall Nova, recovered from fuel pump problems in race one, to Class A victory in race two.
Cope and Brown had two class victories each, in classes B and C respectively. Elliot Paterson,
Morgan +8 won class D on both occasions and John Kinmond class E.
The XR2 category was won twice by Duncan O’Neill from David Reilly.
Next outing is at Cadwell Park on 16th July.

You do well to get so many entrants for your away round Well done!


I'd like to try to get over to watch but at 140 miles each way its getting pricy these days .... and it might be a bit warm, too


Hope you have a good day - and that my friend Pete Richards (Jasper Clan) keeps his engine in one piece!

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.
