Chairman’s Chat

Welcome to 2019 and a Happy New Year to you all. Christmas and New Year celebrations really seem to already be just a distant memory.

That can only mean one thing, our first race is just around the corner...and the first corners will be at a welcome return to Oulton Park after something like a 5 year break. You all need to be getting prepared as it’s really only about 6 weeks until we roll on to the grid for the first time this year.

I hope you agree that we have a fabulous calendar on offer for your 2019 season with a rare sortie to Castle Combe amongst the old favourites and we’ll be rounding off the season in style with our Festival this year at Cadwell Park.

So get out to the garage and check your belts and extinguishers aren’t out of date, your plugs aren’t oiled up and your tyres aren’t flat - it really isn’t long until you hear the cry ‘Competitors, start your engines!!

Tony Palmer, Chairman

Marshal’s fundThe Committee are pleased to announce that at our annual awards dinner we raised the sum of £1,195 for the marshal’s fund.

COMMITTEE PROFILE:

Malcolm JeffsI have joined the committee in 2019 to offer my help in any way I can. I am immensely proud to be part of this great club.

I first started racing with the CTCRC in 2015 in a red Alfasud Sprint no.41. This was later replaced with another Alfasud, red again, no.16.

I was not able to participate much in 2018, just the rounds at Donington and Brands with a new car, a green VW Golf.

I hope to participate in the full 2019 season and I really hope all of you will too as it is you that make this club what it is.

I wish you all happy and successful racing in 2019. If you want to discuss anything with me, you will be able to track me down in the paddock next to the green Golf, no.16.

COMMITTEE PROFILE:

Gary FletcherI had been around the motor racing scene, acting for Brands Hatch Leisure Group and Donington Park, on a variety of construction projects at Brands, Snetterton, Cadwell, Oulton, Silverstone and Donington.

My Company sponsors the ex British GT Champion, Tuscan Challenge Champion, Carrera Cup and Touring Car driver Michael Caine.

I had been a kart racer, as a young chap, and after that a track day warrior like so many of us. By this point, my kids had fled the nest so I bought “Frenzy” my Droop Snoot Firenza that had been raced previously in our Club by both Peter Halford and then Kevin O’Brien. So about 10 years

ago I plucked up courage, dangling a carrot of potential sponsorship to my 12-year-old ARDS examiner, which seemed to work and so went racing with some mates in CSCC. The first race was at Snetterton where our Chairman Tony Palmer found me and explained I should be racing with CTCRC. He was so right and the Club has become my racing home.

My racing hobby has grown and whilst I have mostly raced the snoot in pre 83, I have also raced a Cortina and an Imp in pre 66. I now own an Anglia to race this coming season as well as a group 2 BMW 2002.

I have recently joined the committee where I hope my racing connections will prove to be of use to my beloved CTCRC.

“…a tremendous,

race-long battle

for second place

but the Dolly

was singing like

a soprano on the

straights…”

Our opening meeting of the season was a great success with eight cracking races fought out through changeable conditions which varied form cold and very wet to cold and dry. Mini maestro Jonathan Lewis, a man who has dominated the category for decades, was the only double winner overall.

Paul Inch Pre ’66 – Jonathan Lewis and his 1293 Cooper S, ably assisted in the pits by former F1 driver Martin Donnelly, set the pace during a very wet qually, led from the start and then went on to win both races. After Race 1 Lewis said “It was very tricky out there. Someone dropped some oil on Lap two and I had to change my line completely. On Saturday Lewis might have been challenged by fellow front row starter David Hall but the Lotus-Cortina struggled for traction and the Mini nosed ahead as they slithered into the first corner together. Thereafter Hall steadily lost ground and he eventually lost second place to Tom Bell. Series sponsor Paul Inch (1293 Cooper S) finished a fine fourth. Class winners: Hall, Inch, Alan Greenhalgh (Ford Falcon), John Everard (Alfa Sprint GT), Mark Cross (Morris Minor).

On Sunday Lewis again led throughout, chased on the opening lap by Dan Lewis (1293 Cooper S), Bell and Hall. But then on the second lap Hall began to fall back and two laps later Bell was forced to retire. Roger Stanford started steadily with his revamped Lotus-Cortina but he soon wound up the wick and went on to finish a strong third. Michael Sheraton (Ford Anglia) raced home in fourth place, despite a five-second penalty for exceeding track limits. Class winners: Stanford, Greenhalgh, Freddie Brown (1040 Imp), Everard, Patrick Harris (1330 Morris Minor).

MRF Tyres Classic Thunder/Burton Power BOSS – The track was still streaming wet for Saturday’s race and Dale Gent’s Impreza led all the way despite a relentless chase by Dave Cockell (Escort-Cosworth) who was only six-seconds adrift at the finish. Ilsa Cox’s Cupra Cup car was down in eighth place at the end of the first lap but she skilfully slithered past the Escorts of Stuart Day and Scott Matthias, Matthew Booth (Astra), Alistair Camp (Fiesta) and Paul Hand (Audi TT) to seize an impressive third place. After a fraught and tense battle Hand was handed fourth place when Matthias and Booth were penalised one second each. But Matthias was still the best of the BOSS runners, ahead of Camp and Laki Christoforou (Escort). Class winners: Cox, Matthias, Day, Camp, John Edwards-Parton (Fiesta), Richard Askham (Jaguar XJR), Paul Eaton (Holden).

The following day Gent may have started from pole but he was down to fifth by the end of the first lap and the Subaru eventually retired on lap five. Cockell made the most of the opportunity and led thereafter, going on to win by 2.3 seconds from Cox who managed to pass Booth in the closing stages. Day and Hand finished fourth and fifth, ahead of Laki who was the best of the BOSS boys, well clear of Camp and Paul Nevill (Escort RS2000). Class winners: Cox, Day, Christoforou, Eaton, Matthias, Demetris Neophytou (Fiesta), Askham.

Group One Pre ’83 – Current champion Stephen Primett reigned (rained?) supreme during a very wet qualifying session so it was no surprise when his Mk.1 Escort led Saturday’s race all the way. David Howard’s Jaguar XJ12 was only sixth at the end of the first lap, but

the Big Cat was able to stretch its legs on Silverstone’s straights and over the next few laps he picked off Alan Greenhalgh’s Firenza, Pete Winstone’s Escort, Mark Osborne’s Dolomite Sprint and then Mark Cholerton’s Escort before he went on to finish a secure second. Cholerton retired on lap nine leaving Osborne to finish third ahead of Greenhalgh and Steve Cripps (Escort RS2000). Class winners: Howard, Mike Haynes (3.1 Ford Capri), Scott Rust (Escort RS1600i), Jonnie Kent (1293 Cooper S).

On Sunday the track was dry and so the sharp end was also Howard’s End as the Jaguar led from start to finish. Osborne and Primett fought a tremendous, race-long battle for second place but the Dolly was singing like a soprano on the straights and despite Primett’s best efforts he had to settle for third place. “For once the Dolomite’s gearing was just right” said Osborne. Cripps drove well to fend off Cholerton for fourth place. Class winners: Osborne, Haynes, Rust.

Pre ‘93/’03/’05 – Hondas ruled the roost during a wet qualifying session as Steve Barden claimed pole position ahead of Garry Barlow, Ross Craig and Luke Allen. Come the race Barden led the all the way despite relentless pressure from Craig, but it was Mike Dugdale (BMW E36) and Howard (XJ12) who took up the chase. Then Howard retired on lap eight, leaving Dugdale to fight a losing battle with the fast-closing David Hunt (E36) who went on to finish third overall. Roger Stanford finished fifth to make it a 3-4-5 finish for BMW. Hunt also won the ’93 category, while Steve Barber (Clio 182) was the best of the ’05 Production Saloons. Class winners: Hunt, Stanford, Alex Nuttall (Golf GTI), Barber, Colin Gibbons (Alfa 156), Ken Adlard (Honda CRX), Kevan Hadfield (Ford Puma).

It was a different story in the dry on Sunday though, when Hunt and Dugdale fought it out at the front once they had disposed of front-row starters Barden and Craig. Hunt went on to win by 2.5 seconds, while Roger Stanford’s E30 moved up from fifth to finish third, right behind Dugdale. Barden was the best of the ’03 category and held on to finish fourth overall, just ahead of the current ‘03 champion, Allen who had a much better race than on Saturday. The ’05 category was won by James Wilson (Peugeot 206GTI) after a close battle with Barber’s Renault. Class winners: Stanford, Barden, Howard, Nuttall, Gibbons, Wilson, Adlard, Hadfield.

ROUND 2 Croft April 21/22 by Kerry Dunlop

After having to dodge heavy showers at Silverstone it was a relief to arrive in North Yorkshire to find cloudy skies and mainly dry weather – apart from light drizzle at the very end of Sunday’s programme. Double winners Dale Gent and Philip House shared top billing over the weekend.

Classic Thunder & BOSS – race 1: Gent’s potent Subaru Impreza started from pole and soon built up a handy lead over Dave Cockell’s Escort-Cosworth before going on to win with a margin of seven seconds over the Ford driver. Andy Robinson took up the chase initially, but his mighty Ford Falcon was proving a bit of a handful around Croft’s challenging corners and on lap eight Adrian Hawkins’ well-sorted Alfa 33 16v slipped past and then went on to claim a solid third place. Paul Hand (Audi TT) finished further back in fifth ahead of Andrew Wilson and his 6.7 litre Falcon. Next up was Paul Nevill (Escort RS2000) who beat Neil Argrave and Tom Abbott to win the BOSS category. Class winners: Hawkins, Hand, Wilson, Nevill, Richard Askham (Jaguar XJR), Demetris Neophytou (Fiesta Mk.1).

Race 2: Once again Gent led all the way to continue his dominance of the category, but this time Robinson put his head down, stoked up his Aussie V8 and managed to finish only 14 seconds adrift at the finish. Cockell might have found his way to the podium but unfortunately his Escort expired after only two laps, so Hawkins picked up another third place, comfortably ahead of Hand. This time Argrave managed to turn the tables and beat Nevill in the race to be the best in BOSS. Class winners: Robinson, Hand, Argrave, John Edwards-Parton (Fiesta XR2).

Pre ’66 – race 1: The Lotus Cortinas of Philip House and Roger Stanford shared the front row, ahead of Alan Greenhalgh’s Falcon, and it was Stanford who seized the initiative, but after four laps House found a way past and went on to take a narrow victory. These three were chased for most of the race by the Minis of Neil Bray and Andy Messham, bit with less than two laps to go Bray was forced to retire so Messham finished fourth, well clear of Martin Reynolds’ Anglia. Class winners: Greenhalgh, Messham, Patrick Harris (Morris Minor), Freddie Brown (Hillman Imp), John Everard (Alfa Sprint).

Race 2: This time House led from the start, pressed on purposefully and went on to win by a healthy margin. Stanford led the chase initially but he was coming under threat from Greenhalgh and after a race-long, spirited

scrap with plenty of place changes the Falcon driver managed to secure second place. Bray managed to fix his Cooper after its earlier retirement and he was rewarded with a fine fourth place, well clear of Reynolds. Class winners: Greenhalgh, Bray, Luc Wilson (Austin A40), Brown, Everard.

Group One Pre ’83 – race 1: Former champion Jim McLoughlin made a welcome return to the series with his charismatic Capri and he soon showed that he had lost none of his form when he lined up on the front row alongside the current champion and polesitter, Stephen Primett (Escort Mk.1). Indeed, Jim led the opening lap but it soon became apparent that he had a problem as the Capri lost ground and eventually retired after six laps. Stephen soon hit the front and went on to win by five seconds from Mark Osborne (Dolomite Sprint) and Steve Cripps (Escort RS2000). Mark Cholerton, usually a force to be reckoned with, seemed to struggle this time and his Escort Mk.2 finished a distant fourth, just ahead of Phil House who had switched to an Escort. David Howard (Jaguar XJ12) was sixth after a five-second penalty for exceeding track limits. Class winners: Howard, Scott Rust (Escort RS1600i).

Race 2: This was another cracking race, typical of the category, as Howard’s Big Cat howled away from the start and led the opening lap from Cripps, Primett and McLoughlin. Next time around Cripps hit the front, but Primett had also passed the Jag and was closing fast and the white Mk.1 squeezed past the black Mk.2 to lead the next two laps. Then Primett’s Ford began to falter and he started to fall down the field. Meanwhile McLoughlin put in a late charge, set the fastest lap in the closing stages and then managed to snatch victory by just seven tenths from Cripps, House and Howard. Primett limped home a distant fifth. Cholerton retired on the opening lap. Class winners: Cripps, Howard, Rust.

Pre ‘93/’03/’05 – race 1: Steve Barden’s Civic claimed pole position ahead of the BMWs of David Hunt, Roger Stanford and Mike Dugdale and the Honda driver managed to maintain a slight advantage all the way to the chequered flag. Stanford held on to second place throughout, ahead of Dugdale and Hunt. Newcomer to the series – and to racing – Ian Bower made a promising debut and raced his M3 home to a fine fifth place. Class winners: Stanford, Dugdale, Anna Barden (Renault Clio), David Howard (Jaguar XJ12), Alex Nuttall (Golf GTI).

track caught out Barden, who completed the first lap dead last. Nevertheless he set about picking off his rivals with impressive progress so that he managed to take the lead from Stanford at half-distance. But Bower, displaying commendable maturity despite his lack of experience, was moving up through the field as well. From fifth on the grid he moved past Hunt, Dugdale and Stanford and then snatched the lead from Barden before pulling away to win by almost six seconds. A real fairy-tale victory for the novice! Class winners: Barden, Stanford, Nuttall, Neil Bray (Renault Clio), Gail Hill (Jaguar XJS).

ROUND 3 Mallory Park May 28 by Kerry Dunlop

Over a bank holiday weekend of extreme weather conditions the sun eventually shone through, just like the talent of Dale Gent and Ray West who were the only double winners at a meeting punctuated by some spectacular, but fortunately injury-free, accidents.

Pre ’83 – Race 1: David Howard’s Jaguar leaped off the line to lead until Mark Osborne’s Dolomite slipped past and started to pull away. Then Stephen Primett (Escort) found a way past as well and the current champion was clearly driving right on the limit as he set about reeling in the leader. By half-distance Primett was noticeably closer, but Osborne held on to win by less than one second. Mark Cholerton came through to finish third ahead of Howard who was honest enough to admit later that he had lost concentration as the race unfolded. Stuart Caie (Capri) fought long and hard until he found a way past Peter Winstone and David Hall to finish fifth. Class winners: Howard, Caie, Peter Millington (Hillman Avenger).

Race 2: Once again Osborne led for most of the race until Primett’s extra pace paid off; he squeezed by on lap 11 and then raced on to victory. Cholerton and Howard chased them home again, well clear of a cracking, race-long battle for fifth. Allan Weyman (Chevrolet Camaro) defended well under intense pressure to claim the place ahead of Caie, Cripps (whose Escort had started from the back of the grid) and Hall. Class winners: Howard, Caie, Millington. Driver of the Day: Hall.

Classic Thunder & BOSS – Race 1: Although Dale Gent qualified on pole his Subaru Impreza set a time only one-tenth better than the Escort-Cosworth of Dave Cockell, so the stage was set for a classic battle. But on the second lap Cockell’s car dumped its oil smack in the middle of Gerards triggering total mayhem behind him. As Cockell gyrated onto the verge Paul Nevill, Neil Argrave and Paul Finney all slid to a stop, broadside across the track, and many more had to brake severely. So Gent raced on to victory with nothing in his mirrors. Adrian Hawkins made the best recovery and his Alfa 33 scored an impressive second place. All the others, even including Lee Penn (Alfa 33) and Andy Robinson (Ford Falcon) who finished third and fourth respectively, were lapped by the winner. Piers Grange (Escort Mk.2) finished fifth overall and was a clear winner of the BOSS category. Class winners: Hawkins, Penn, Grange, John Edwards-Parton (Fiesta XR2), Malcolm Wise (Sierra Cosworth), Ben Dewen

(BMW 323i), Keith Harding (Capri 3.1).

Race 2: Once again Gent led from start to finish although Hawkins kept him honest throughout with another exciting display. This time the Aussie V8 style saloons were more to the fore as Andy Robinson (Ford) finished third ahead of Andy Wilson (Holden). Escorts dominated the BOSS event as Grange won again ahead of Scott Matthias and Neil Argrave. Class winners: Hawkins, Penn, Grange, Matthias, Edwards-Parton, Dewen. Drivers of the Day: Penn (Thunder), Ralph Higson (BOSS).

Pre ’66 – Race 1: The incredible 998 Imp of David Heale starred in a three-way thriller of a battle for the lead with Alan Greenhalgh (Ford Falcon) and David Hall (Lotus Cortina) – three very different cars with similar performance. Greenhalgh led all the way while the other two swapped places regularly. The Falcon developed a slight misfire over the last couple of laps and at the finish all three were covered by just a second with Hall just ahead of Heale. Class winners: Hall, Heale, Neil Bray (1293 Mini), Patrick Harris (Morris Minor), John Everard (Alfa Sprint GT), Michael Loveland (Imp).

Race 2: Greenhalgh was a non-starter this time so Heale’s press-on style paid off when he managed to build up a winning margin of five seconds over Hall. Once again Bray was the best of the rest. The Anglia attack for fourth place was led this time by Michael Sheraton from Alex Williams in a reversal of their earlier result. Andy Messham (1293 Mini) fought back to finish sixth after his retirement from race one. Class winners: Hall. Bray, Steve Dunne (Morris Minor), Everard, Loveland. Driver of the Day: Loveland.

Pre ‘93/03/05 – Race 1: Ray West has been winning CTCRC (nee CSCC) races for a long time now and after a few years of “retirement” he bounced back with a BMW M3 to claim pole position and resume his winning ways. He led from start to finish with apparent ease, although Steve Barden, the best of the ’03 runners, pushed him hard and his Civic was just over a second adrift at the finish. Simon Ward (Astra GTE) fought off a strong challenge from David Hunt (BMW E36) to finish third. Jason Brooks defeated Neil Bray and Anna Barden in the Clio contest for ’05 honours. Class winners: Barden, Ward, Gail Hill (Jaguar XJS), Brooks, Andrew Sheraton (BMW E30), Kevin Smiles (Hyundai).

Race 2: Once again West led all the way: in fact the leading quartet stayed the same as in Race 1 until the closing stages when Ward squeezed past Barden to snatch second place. Hunt finished fourth again, Luke Allen (Civic) improved to finish fifth and Graham Myers, returning to the sport with an unfamiliar BMW E36, was rewarded with sixth place. Barden again beat the other ’03 boys and this time it was Bray who picked up ’05 honours. Class winners: Ward, Barden Hill, Bray, Sheraton, Peter Kalpakiotis (Hyundai). Drivers of the Day: Myers (’93), Alford (‘03), Steve Barber (’05).

Now what was that in the introduction about spectacular accidents? The unfortunate winner of this particular category must be Theodore Bridgeman-Williams who was lucky to walk away from the wreckage after his Alfa 145 lost its brakes at the hairpin, charged up the bank and buried itself in the barrier. Commiserations go to him.

ROUND 4 Rockingham June 16 by Kerry Dunlop

Rockingham’s track layout is part-oval, rather like a Marmite jar. And drivers tend to love it or loathe it – just like Marmite! That meant that quite a few drivers who usually race with the club chose to stay away, which was a pity, because more categories had to be amalgamated and grids appeared sadly depleted. But despite that there was some excellent racing to be found, particularly among the pre ’83 racers who definitely deserve a Dicers of the Day award.

Pre ’83 and Pre ’66 – Race 1: Qualifying gave us a clue as to the possible outcome with Stephen Primett on pole followed by Steve Cripps, Mark Cholerton and Mark Osborne. So that’s three Escorts for just one Dolly – lucky lady! Osborne’s Triumph made by far the best start from the second row and led into the first turn, chased by Cripps, Primett and Cholerton, but Primett was on a charge and soon made it through to the front. “I had quite a speed advantage coming off the banking which meant I could outbrake them afterwards” explained the pony-tailed pilot. Meanwhile Cripps set about attacking Osborne, kicking out the tail of the Escort as he did so. Then Cholerton decided to join the party and the trio battled for several laps before Osborne eased away to finish second, nine seconds behind Primett. “I didn’t want to throw it into the wall” said Mark pragmatically. Cripps pulled away from Cholerton to finish third, while Simon Jeffs and his Golf GTI finished fifth. Pre ’66 winner Alan Greenhalgh made the most of his power advantage, especially as his mighty V8 Falcon thundered around the banking, so he left the rather breathless Minis of Andy Messham and Neil Bray to finish second and third after a brilliant battle. Class winners: Alan Wilshire (2.8

Capri), Messham, Allan Weyman (Camaro), Luc Wilson (Austin A40), Michael Loveland (Hillman Imp).

Race 2: Once again Osborne made the best start, but Primett’s prodigious pace on the banking soon carried him through to the front with Osborne in hot pursuit, despite occasional gear selection problems. Behind them there was a titanic tussle between Cripps and Cholerton which became ever more desperate as the race wore on. The situation was only resolved as they came up to lap Allan Weyman’s Chevrolet on the approach to the chicane. Cholerton opted for the outside line while Cripps dived down the inside. Both Escorts arrived with sheets of tyre smoke pouring from the front wheels as Steve understeered wide of the apex and Mark took to the grass to avoid him. “I had to go for it” said Cripps “otherwise Allan would probably have blocked me as he moved over for Mark.” Anyway, that left Cripps with several lengths over his rival as he raced on to third place. Once again Jeffs chased them home, followed by Alan Wilshire in one of Malcolm Best’s Capris. Greenhalgh led the pre ‘66s all the way despite a ten-second penalty for a false start which left him with an advantage of only eleven seconds over Messham and Bray. Class winners: Wilshire, Messham, Weyman, Wilson, Loveland.

Pre ’93, ’03 and ’05 – Race 1: Although Ian Bower’s BMW led throughout the first race he had to fend off a determined challenge from Steve Barden (Civic) who was never more than a few lengths behind. Don Hughes held third place initially, but his Peugeot 306 failed to complete the first lap. That left Ross Craig (Civic) in an apparently secure third place until his awning-sharer, Luke Allen wound up his Civic and charged past Simon Ward’s Astra and

then pipped Craig to the final (virtual) podium place. But there was a surprise twist to the tale when on the last lap Bower picked up a five-second penalty for exceeding track limits which place him second overall although he still won the ’93 category ahead of Ward. And to round off the Barden’s celebrations Anna beat Neil Bray in the Clio battle for the ‘05 win. Class winners: Bower, Ward, Gail Hill (Jaguar XJS), Andrew Sheraton (BMW 325i), Anna Barden.

Race 2: Once again Bower made the best start, chased by Barden and Craig, but after seven laps the leading BMW was unable to maintain its pace and so Barden slipped past and went on to take his second win of the day. Bower kept going and was able to salvage second place overall (and first of the ‘93s) ahead of Allen who had found a way past Craig on lap 3. Eleventh overall was sufficient for Anna Barden to notch up her double in the ‘05 category. Simon Ward started in fourth place but after five laps his Astra ended up in the wall, badly damaged. Fortunately the driver was ok. Class winners: Bower, Sheraton, Hill, Anna Barden.

Classic Thunder and BOSS – Race 1: It is sad to relate that there were only four CT starters and six BOSS so the grid looked decidedly depleted. But that wouldn’t have worried Dave Cockell who claimed pole position with his potent Escort, now with a new engine after his expensive blow-up at Mallory. Dale Gent was able to complete only one lap before his Subaru’s brakes locked on, but that was still good enough for the second row, behind the smart Astra of Matthew Booth who had barely recovered from a nasty bout of glandular fever. Cockell led the opening lap until the big Scooby surged past and went on to win by eight seconds. Booth remained a solid third throughout and finished well clear of the first Blue Oval runner, Piers Grange (Escort) who now lies second in the series after his fine performances in the last two meetings. Malcom Wise (Sierra Cosworth) was the best of the rest. Class winners: Booth, Grange, Wise.

Race 2: Dale Gent led for less than a lap before he was forced to retire when his Subaru’s stoppers seized again. Booth took over in the lead for four laps until Cockell found a way past and went on to win by ten seconds. Once again Grange was the best of the BOSS boys in third place. Wise, Tom Abbott (Capri) and Ralph Higson (Escort RS200) rounded out the top six. Only seven cars finished. Class winners: Booth, Grange, Wise.

ROUND 5 Lydden Hill July 8 by Kerry Dunlop

The club’s flagship event – the only one where we organise the whole meeting ourselves and where the entire programme is made up of CTCRC events – proved a great success with an array of entertaining races held under sunny skies. Stephen Primett was clearly the most successful driver of the day: not only did he win both Pre ’83 races in fine style but he also won a race against time to repair his car after a shunt during qualifying when he skidded off on an oil slick and hit the tyre wall at Chesson’s Drift.

Pre ’66 – race 1: Despite the tight and twisty turns at Lydden Alan Greenhalgh and his mighty Ford Falcon reigned supreme throughout qualifying and the race. But Tim Harber put up a brave fight and was never more than a couple of lengths behind the leader until lap 7 when his Mini suddenly slowed and pulled off the track. That left the Minis of Neil Bray and Andy Messham to battle bravely in pursuit before Bray eased away to finish less than three seconds down on the big V8. Behind them there was an entertaining Anglia duel between Michael Sheraton and Martin Reynolds until Michael lost second gear and Martin went on to finish a fine fourth. Patrick Harris (Minor) and Luc Wilson (A40) rounded out the top six. Class winners: Bray, Harris, Michael Loveland (Imp).

Race 2: Greenhalgh led from the start, but his Falcon soon began to sound like a V4 and he eventually retired. Bray inherited the lead and once again he was chased by Messham until Andy half-spun at Paddock when he clipped the high kerb at the apex. Meanwhile Jim Burrows, whose Mini had started from the back of the grid due to his retirement from the first race, was making up ground fast and when Messham careered across the grass at Paddock he slipped past and went on to secure second place behind Bray. As Messham recovered he was also passed by Reynolds, but on the next lap the Anglia suddenly swapped ends and so Martin was forced to settle for fourth place behind Andy. Class winners: Harris, Loveland.

Pre ’83 – race 1: Primett managed to secure pole position, despite his practice accident, ahead of the Escorts of Mark Cholerton and Steve Cripps and the Capri of Stuart Caie. But it was Cholerton who led into the first corner, chased by Primett and David Howard (XJ12). Two laps later Primett was in front and easing away to victory. Meanwhile Cripps, who had made an even worse start than Primett, was really on a charge: his black Escort plunged down Hairy Hill to pass Howard’s Jaguar and next time around he pulled the same move on Craie’s Capri. Then Cripps set his sights on second place and Cholerton: for the next few

laps the pair were neck-and-neck until Steve found a tighter line at the exit of Paddock, pulled alongside and then slipped ahead as they skittered into Chesson’s. So that was the podium sorted. Simon Jeffs (Golf GTI) finished a fighting fourth with a late charge that carried him past Howard, Caie and fifth finisher Pete Winstone (Escort). Simon’s effort earned him the Pre ’83 Driver of the Day award. Class winners: Caie, Howard, Tony Crates (Cortina Lotus).

Race 2: As if to make up for his earlier start Cripps really did the business this time and stormed away from the start to lead into Chesson’s from Primett, Cholerton, Winstone and Caie. And the black Escort led for four laps before Primett prised the lead away with a really classy, slick outbraking move on the inside at the Devil’s Elbow. “I knew he was there” said Cripps “but I couldn’t believe he would be able to do it.” Undeterred, Steve continued to chase Stephen until they took the chequered flag just 1.2 seconds apart – brilliant driving by both drivers. Cholerton held third place throughout, with another fine fourth place from Jeffs ahead of Winstone and Caie. Class winners: Caie, Howard, Crates.

Pre’93/’03/’05 – race 1: Most of the action occurred on the opening lap. As polesitter Luke Allen (Civic Type R) led away from Rod Birley (Honda Integra) and novice Ian Bower (BMW M3) Steve Barden’s Civic Type R was pushed wide onto the grass at Chesson’s and dropped back. Then Steve Barber was nerfed off at the Elbow, prompting a long safety car period to enable his stricken Clio to be recovered. The 15-minute race duration allowed time for just three more racing laps until Allen took the chequered flag ahead of Birley and Bower. The battle-scarred Hondas of Ross Craig and Barden finished fourth and fifth after a fraught feud. Allen took top hours in the ’03 category, Bower was the best of the ‘93s and Neil Bray won the ’05 category. Class winners: Andrew Sheraton (BMW E30), Theodore Bridgeman-Williams (Alfa 145).

Race 2 – Rear wheel drive helped Bower’s BMW beat Allen’s Honda to the first corner and a lead which he never lost. Allen kept up the pressure and finished as the Pre ’03 winner only five seconds down, despite an unfortunate clash as he lapped Anna Barden. The Clio driver required medical treatment afterwards but fortunately she was released with nothing worse than a sprained neck. Her husband Steve, Trevor Keates and James Alford completed a 2-3-4-5 for Honda. Despite her collision Anna bravely

battled on to finish second to Josh Barber in the Pre ’05 category. Class winners: Allen, Sheraton, Bridgeman-Williams.

Classic Thunder & BOSS – race 1: A healthy entry was bolstered even further by several significant survivors from Lydden’s SEMSEC era, especially Rod Birley and Bill Richards. Birley’s recently rebuilt Escort WRC seized the lead for four laps until he was forced to retire due to a broken throttle pedal bracket. Richards, whose Mini Clubman had been harrying the leader anyway, went on to win by five seconds from the best BOSS runner, Piers Grange (Escort Mk.2). A little further back a similar Escort driven by Nigel Craig, another SEMSEC winner, finished third ahead of Malcolm Wise (Sapphire Cosworth). Fifth overall and a welcome addition was former Lydden FF1600 and Formule Libre champion Peter Thurston who enthusiastically drove a self-prepared Jaguar XJ6. “It’s got fantastic turn-in but it’s a scrap engine with no power” he said. Class winners: Grange, Craig, Chris Brown (Fiesta XR2), Ben Dewen (BMW 323i).

Race 2: Birley had to start from near the back of the grid due to his earlier retirement so Grange seized the lead from the start while Richards waited for an opportunity to pass. Next time around Richards dived past on the inside at Chesson’s and began to ease away from Grange, Craig, Tom Abbott (Capri) and Wise. Meanwhile Birley was romping through the field and after only three laps he took the lead at North Bend. Conversely, there were two notable retirements: Richards, whose Mini had flattened its battery and Thurston who had rooted his rubber so that his former precision tool now slid about like a beached seal. So Birley went on to win by half a minute from Grange, Craig and Abbott. Everyone else was lapped by the winner, including fifth finisher Mary Grinham (Maguire Mini) who put in a late charge to pass Brown and Wise. Class winners: Grange, Craig, Grinham, Brown, Dewen, Graham Myers (BMW M3).

ROUND 6 Snetterton August 4/5 by Kerry Dunlop

The two long straights on the 300 lay-out allowed the bigger, heavier cars to make the most of their extra power and so for once some of the regular winners in smaller, lighter machinery missed the top step of the podium. David Griffin was the only driver who remained unbeaten.

Pre ’66 – race 1: David Hall’s quick Lotus Cortina topped the timesheets by a healthy margin so it was no surprise when he led the first race from start to finish. “I pushed for a couple of laps and then I just made sure I kept it on the black stuff” he said. Michael Sheraton was going well in the little Anglia and held second place throughout despite losing second gear again. During the early laps Andy Messham looked threatening but his 1293 Mini was losing out on the long straights and he had to settle for the final place on the podium. “They were just too quick for me” he admitted. “The car was dancing all over the place.”Patrick Harris was enjoying fourth place until his Minor retired on the penultimate lap so Kevin O’Brien (Anglia) picked up fourth spot ahead of Nathan Scott Williams (Mini Cooper) and Luc Wilson (Austin A40). Class winners: Sheraton, Wilson, Michael Loveland (Imp).

Race 2: Hall started from pole position but never completed the first lap so Sheraton, whose gearbox problem resolved itself, went on to take a popular win by a healthy margin over Messham. O’Brien held third place initially but he retired with just a lap remaining so Williams was elevated to third place. Once again Wilson came out on top in a spirited battle for fourth with Steve Dunne (A35). Paul Cooper’s Cortina GT rounded out the top six.

Pre ’83 – Race 1: The Group One touring cars can usually be relied upon to provide some cracking racing, but this time two of the chief protagonists were sorely missed: Steve Cripps was still trying to sort out his Escort’s persistent misfire and Mark Osborne’s Dolomite expired during qualifying. To make matters much, much worse Tony Crudgington’s Dolomite and Mark Fowler’s Escort collided at the first corner, then spun across the track through the middle of the pack until Stuart Caie’s Capri torpedoed the Escort amidships. “I never even had time to hit the brakes” said Stuart. The Capri’s long nose probably saved it from serious mechanical damage but the Escort will have to be re-shelled. The accident was particularly sad because it was Crudgington’s first race back with the CTCRC after an absence of several years, it was also Fowler’s first race

for some time, and of course Caie was an entirely innocent victim of circumstance. David Howard’s big Jag was leading Primett’s Escort at the time of the accident, and after the safety car pulled in the XJ12 held off the Ford for the remaining three laps to win by a length. “I was lucky to hold on to that” said Howard. “On the last lap I selected the wrong gear and Stephen almost got by me.” Mark Cholerton had been pushing hard throughout and at the end his Escort was only a tenth down on Primett. Simon Jeffs (Golf GTI) finished a fine fourth ahead of the pretty BMW of Neal Mills. Class winners: Primett, Mills, Alan Wilshire (Capri), Tony Crates (Cortina Lotus).

Race 2: Once again Howard used the power of the Big Cat to leap into the lead, ahead of Primett, Cholerton and Alan Wilshire (Capri). But during the second lap an error by Howard allowed Cholerton and Primett to sneak ahead and next time around Primett hit the front for the first time. Once in front the reigning champion eased away to win by 12 seconds from Howard who had managed to find a way past Cholerton in the closing stages. Wilshire retired on lap six so it was Crudgington, whose car emerged relatively unscathed from the earlier accident, who finished fourth. Allan Weyman hustled the big Camaro into fifth place ahead of Mills. Class winners: Howard, Mills, Malcolm Best (Capri), Crates.

Classic Thunder & BOSS – Race 1: This was a thoroughly entertaining encounter with a developing theme of bouncing back from adversity. Matthew Evans (3.2 BMW) started from seventh on the grid, but he soon began to pick off his rivals and when the initial leader, Stuart Day (Escort WRC) made a mistake Evans seized a lead which he retained to the finish. Day admitted “I ran wide onto the dirt and had to fight my way past four cars” – he was rewarded with second place. Lee Spencer started from pole but ended the first lap back in fifth spot. Undeterred, he put his head down and fought back to second place until the last lap when his BMW M5 slowed to a crawl. Ilsa Cox maintained a strong pace throughout in her SEAT Leon, despite faster cars which overtook and then fell back again: she raced on to third place. “My best race of the year” she said. James Janicki (Nissan Skyline) was fourth, ahead of the BMWs of Lucky Khera and Jasver Sapra. Steve Scott was the quickest of the BOSS runners but his Sierra Cosworth retired after five laps and so Piers Grange (Escort Mk.2) took the no. 1 spot from Ashley Shelswell (Sierra XR4i). Class

“I pushed for a

couple of laps

and then I just

made sure I kept

it on the black

stuff”


winners: Day, Cox, David Griffin (3.0 BMW), Simon Light (5.0 Capri), Grange, Shelswell, Alan Breck (5.0 Capri), Ben Dewen (3.2 BMW).

Race 2: Day made no mistake this time and he led this far less fraught affair from start to finish. Cox held a strong second place, shadowed by Janicki until the final drag to the flag when the 2.8 Nissan outgunned her 2.0 Leon. Griffin finished a fine fourth, comfortably clear of Light. Scott was sixth overall and the best of the BOSS category, ahead of Shelswell and Grange. Class winners: Cox, Griffin, Light, Scott, Grange, Breck, Dewen.

Pre ‘93/’03/’05 – Race 1: During qualifying it soon became apparent that the 2-litre Civic Type R of the pre ’03 championship leader, Steve Barden, was unable to match the pace of the 3-litre BMWs driven by David Griffin and Ian Bower.

Sure enough, in the race Bower seized the lead from Griffin and these two began to pull away from David Hunt (BMW) and Luke Allen (Civic Type R). Griffin was quick to take advantage when Bower slid wide onto the grass; he raced past and went on to win with a seven-second advantage over Bower. Hunt completed a 1-2-3 for BMW, while Pre ’03 winner Allen, James Alford and Ross Craig made up a 4-5-6 for Honda. Anna Barden (Clio) won the Pre ’05 category again, but husband Steve was forced to retire after three laps. Class winners: Allen, Gail Hill (Jaguar XJS), Andrew Sheraton (2.5 BMW), Barden, Theodore Bridgeman-Williams (Alfa 145).

Race 2: This race started well enough, if a little predictably, as the first four held the same positions as before. But after only four laps Bridgeman-Williams and Steve Barber (Clio) crashed and brought out the red flags. Unfortunately the race could not be re-started because of the curfew at Snetterton. It was a sad way to end the meeting. Class winners: Allen, Hill, Sheraton, A.Barden.

TITLE

ROUND 7 Donington September 29 by Kerry Dunlop

Donington Park’s National circuit was blessed with plenty of sunshine and a dry track for our penultimate meeting of the season. Honours were shared between Simon Primett, Ian Bower and Dave Cockell who each notched up two wins overall.

Pre ’66 & Pre ’83 – race 1: The decision was made to combine these two categories because, for a variety of reasons, there was a shortage of entries. So it was no surprise to find Stephen Primett’s name at the top of the timesheets after qualifying. The current Pre ’83 champion and Ford Escort Mk.1 driver made a break at the start and then maintained the slenderest of leads all the way to the chequered flag. The two Marks, Osborne and Cholerton indulged in a splendid scrap for second place until the Dolomite retired on lap seven thus handing the runner-up position to Cholerton’s tidy Escort Mk.2, which managed to beat the similar car of Steve Cripps – they both rely on the same engine-builder. Jason Brooks (Mini 1275GT) grabbed the giant-killing baton with gusto, along with a fine fourth place ahead of Alan Greenhalgh (Firenza) and the Golf GTI of the ever-improving Simon Jeffs. Since Greenhalgh had elected to drive the Firenza rather than his Falcon Andy Messham (1293 Mini) managed to win the Pre ’66 category. Andy was chased home by Martin Reynolds (Anglia) and Nathan Williams (1293 Mini). Class winners: Brooks, Allan Weyman (Camaro), Steve Jones (Mini 1275GT), Messham, Mike Haynes 3.1 Capri), Patrick Harris (Minor), Freddie Brown (Imp).

Race 2: Cholerton made the best start to the second race and he held on to the lead for four laps until the ultimate winner, Primett, found a way past. Mark pressed on regardless and managed to finish just over a second adrift, but, somewhat surprisingly, some 14 seconds clear of his friend and rival, Steve. Brooks picked up fourth place again ahead of Osborne and Allan Weyman. Messham held on to win the Pre ’66 category by just a tenth of a second from Reynolds with David Margalies (Alfa Romeo GTV6) a fine third. Class winners: Brooks, Weyman, Jones, Haynes, Messham, Luc Wilson (A40), Brown.

Pre ’93, ’03, ’05 – race 1: Ian Bower, still in his first season and only recently graduated from novice status, looked very assured as he put his BMW on pole and then led all the way. Steve Barden was in hot pursuit and still in touch until lap five when Simon Beament, whose RS2000

had come through the field from eighth on the grid, nipped past and went on to secure second place and win the ’03 category. Don Hughes (Peugeot 306 XSi) finished a fine fourth. Luke Allen had held third place initially, but his Civic Type R began to slip back and it eventually retired on lap 10 leaving David Hunt (BMW) to pick up fifth spot ahead of Trevor Keates (Civic Type R). The ’05 category was won by Ashley Parsons (Clio). Class winners: Barden, Pete Winstone (Escort Mk.5), Andrew Sheraton (BMW), James Barratt (BMW Compact).

Race 2: Bower continued to dominate as he led every lap and went on to beat ’03 winner Barden by 1.4 seconds. Hunt held third place throughout and finished just ahead of Beament, whose Escort started from the front row but was unable to match its earlier pace. Keates improved to finish fifth ahead of Graham Myers’ BMW. Once again Parsons won the ’05 category, although James Wilson (Peugeot 206GTI) was very close at the end. Class winners: Beament, Sheraton, Barratt.

Classic Thunder & BOSS – race 1: Andy Robinson’s fearsome Falcon claimed pole position and then thundered away from the line to lead Dave Cockell’s Escort for ten laps until he suffered a puncture which sent him careering into the gravel at Craner Curve. So Cockell raced on to victory, well clear of Ilsa Cox (SEAT Leon) and Andrew Wilson (Falcon). Matthew Booth held third place initially, but his Astra retired after two laps and so Steve Scott (Sierra-Cosworth) finished fourth ahead of Paul Hand (Audi TT) and James Janicki (Nissan Skyline). Further back Piers Grange beat Malcom Wise in the battle to be the best in BOSS. Class winners: Cox, Wilson, Michael Watson (BMW), Paul Eaton (Holden commodore), Wise (Escort), Alan Eason (Fiesta XR2).

Race 2: The previous kerfuffle meant that Robinson had to start from the back so spectators were treated to a real “red mist” charge through the field (think Jack Sears in the Willment Cobra at Brands!). As Cockell led away from Cox and Scott the fightback was on: Robinson was 16th at the end of lap 1, up to third by lap 3 and then he hunted down Cox – but eventually he just lost out to Cockell by seven seconds. Wilson, Adrian Hawkins (Alfa 33) and Jasver Sapra (BMW) rounded out the top six. This time Grange had an easy run to victory in the BOSS category. Class winners: Robinson, Cox, Simon Light (Ford Capri), Dan McKay (Fiesta RS1600), Watson, Wise.

ROUND 8 Brands Hatch October 27/28 by Kerry Dunlop

The club’s final meeting of the season produced some cracking racing despite conditions which ranged from windy and dry through windy and wet to windy and very wet. The most successful driver this time was Dave Cockell who has had to overcome a number of problems this season - and there were more through practice at Brands. But the Worksop wonder’s Escort Cosworth came through to win both Classic Thunder events, despite having to start from 12th on the grid. “I had a shocking qualifying session so it’s good to make amends” he declared.

Pre ‘93/’03/’05 race 1 – Ray West’s BMW M3 made a storming start from the second row to snatch the lead from polesitter Ian Bower as they raced into Paddock Hill Bend. Ian has only just emerged from novice status whereas Ray has been racing for decades, but the youngster was doing well tucked into the leader’s slipstream until lap 5 when his Beemer overslid, got away from him at Paddock and speared into the tyre wall. The track surface must have been slippery because Simon Beament had several spins there and James Alford indulged in a neat pirouette as well. West cruised on to win by three seconds from comeback kid and ’03 winner AJ Owen (Civic Type R) while Ross Craig’s similar Honda chased them home. Graham Myers (BMW) fought off a strong challenge for fourth from Pete Winstone who was kept pretty busy as he adapted to front wheel drive with his Escort Mk.5. Class winners: Owen, Craig, Winstone, Andrew Sheraton (BMW), James Wilson (Peugeot 206 GTI).

Race 2 – West and Bower were non-starters for Sunday’s wet race which left the way clear for the best of the ’03 runners. AJ Owen showed a phenomenal turn of speed considering the conditions and he was three seconds a lap better than any of his rivals as he went on to win by 44 seconds. Trevor Keates and Ross Craig completed a 1-2-3 for Honda. Stephen Field drove exceptionally well in his Saab 900 T16 to clinch fourth place ahead of Alford and Winstone. Class winners: Keates, Field, Winstone, Wilson, Sheraton.

Pre ’66 race 1 – Alan Greenhalgh was due to appear in pole position but sadly when the others formed up on the grid the mighty Falcon was not there. Former Formula Fordster and series newcomer Barry Sime made his journey from Scotland well worthwhile when his Mini Cooper led comfortably from lights to flag. Paul Inch (Cooper) and Michael Sheraton (Anglia)

fought a fascinating race-long battle, but in the final reckoning the Mini just pipped the Ford to second place by three-tenths. In the closing stages Neil Bray was caught and passed by Jim Burrows, but he fought back to reclaim fourth place by the end. Class winners: Stuart Caie (Lotus Cortina), Patrick Harris (Morris Minor), Freddie Brown (Hillman Imp).

Race 2 – Series sponsor Paul Inch made a stunning start, stormed away from Barry Sime and then maintained a healthy advantage throughout. Andy Messham took up the chase initially, pursued by Sheraton, Bray and Burrows. On a streaming wet track the entire pack was sliding all over the place but it was Burrows who came through to secure third place ahead of impressive Freddie Brown (Hillman Imp), Sheraton and Messham. Bray was forced to retire after only three laps. Class winners: Brown, Luc Wilson (Austin A40), Caie.

Classic Thunder & BOSS race 1 – Balginder Sidhu’s BMW seized the lead from the start, chased by Andrew Wilson’s tasty V8 Monaro and Adam Hatfield’s BTCC Avensis while Ilsa Cox made a harmless exit stage left when her Leon skidded straight on at Druids. Meanwhile Cockell was romping through the field after his mid-grid start and once he reached the leading group he soon hit the front and went on to win by almost six seconds from Sidhu. On the dry track the |Holden was getting plenty of traction and so Wilson finished third ahead of Hatfield, James Janicki (Nissan Skyline) and Ray West (BMW). Once again Piers Grange was the best of the BOSS boys in eighth overall behind Cox who had made a good recovery. Class winners: Sidhu, Wilson, Cox, Grange (EscortMk.2), Neil Argrave (Escort Mk.2), Clive Haynsford (Mazda RX8), Alan Eason (Fiesta XR2).

Race 2 – This time Cockell led from the start and enjoyed a trouble-free run to victory. At first the pursuing pack comprised Wilson, Sidhu and Hatfield but then Cox neatly worked her way through the group to claim second place from West and Hatfield. The bigger cars struggled for traction on the wet track and so Wilson and Sidhu had to be content with fifth and sixth. Argrave won the BOSS category with eighth place overall. Class winners: Cox, West, Wilson, Argrave, Eason, Ashley Shelswell (Sierra XR4i).

Pre ’83 race 1 – This race was an absolute thriller, the best I’ve seen anywhere for years, with a five-car battle for the lead which left the result in doubt until the very end. The front row of the grid was occupied by the usual suspects,

“…conditions

which ranged

from windy and

dry through

windy and wet to

windy and very

wet.”

poleman Mark Osborne and Stephen Primett, but it was David Howard’s Jaguar XJ12 which howled away from the second row to seize the lead. Behind the dynamic duo and in fourth spot was Tom Burgess (Fiesta), just ahead of Steve Cripps. Behind Howard the positions changed on every lap, but although Osborne and Primett drew alongside the leader on many occasions the extra power of the Big Cat enabled it pull away again on the straights. So, against all the odds, Howard held on to win by less than half a second from Osborne. “I didn’t know where to look. They were all over me in the corners” said the delighted winner. Close behind, Primett, Burgess and Cripps competed the top five. Mark Cholerton would definitely have been in mix as well but he had to start from the pit-lane so he could only finish sixth. Class winners: Osborne (Triumph Dolomite Sprint), Burgess, David Margalies (Alfa GTV6), Peter Millington (Hillman Avenger).

Race 2 – Sunday’s event was held under threatening skies on a damp, but drying track. The sensation of the race was young Tom Burgess, a technician with the Rebellion WEC team, whose immaculate Datapost (de) liveried FIA-spec Fiesta XR2 simply revelled in the conditions. Burgess, a respected racer in the Motor Racing Legends series, soon hit the front and began to pull away until Primett’s Mk.1 Escort started to reel him in over the last few laps. With just a few minutes remaining the Escort inched alongside the Fiesta on the top straight and then slipped ahead as they slithered into Paddock. Once in front Primett pulled away to win from Burgess and a tight trio consisting of Cholerton, Howard and Cripps who on every lap was dancing his Escort Mk.2 from kerb to kerb at Surtees. Lovely stuff! Class winners: Burgess, Howard, Margalies.

Roll on next season!

COMMITTEE PROFILE:

David HowardIt was late 1997 and I was in Jim, my yard managers, Portakabin. On his desk was a current copy of Car and Car Conversions Magazine. I flipped through it and in the Racing Cars For Sale section came across an ad that read pretty much as follows:

“Mk 1 Ford Escort RS2000 Ready to race in Classic Touring Car Post Historic Touring Car Championship. £3750“.

That’s it I thought, that’s me!!! So began a 20-year journey with the CTCRC.

My first ever race was at Silverstone in April 1998. I arrived, thinking the place would be mobbed, rather like for an F1 race but the stands were pretty much empty other than a couple of lost tourists and a stray dog.

What you soon realise is that club racing is mostly about the competitors, their family and their friends, though I must add that we do get good crowds at certain events.

The car was a complete dog and totally unstable over about 70 mph. This led me to build my own RS2000 which was a far more effective machine and, though never a race winner, did give me an occasional fastest lap in class.

There are actually still drivers on the sharp end of our grids today that I was racing against back then. In particular, Steve Cripps in the Mk 2 Escort and Mark Osborne in the Dolomite Sprint. Mark Cholerton in the other MK 2 Escort arrived to join the fun not much later and Steve Primett in the Mk 1 RS2000 has been driving us all mad for quite a few seasons too! Andrew Sheridan in the Laser BMW is another of the “Old Boys” out there in Pre 93s as is Neil Bray in the Mini, David Hall,

Firenza/Lotus Cortina, Al Weyman in the Camaro, and of course our own Chairman Tony Palmer.

In 1999 I bought Brian Stevens (The then CTCRC Post Historic Champion) Jaguar XJ12 off him. He had decided to move up to a Group One Jaguar XJS.

There is of course only one direction you

can take a Championship winning car and that is backwards! I did this with aplomb for the first year but, with time and developing my race craft, I gradually brought her back to the front taking 20 outright victories in her up to 2005. I built the XJ12 that I still race today in 2005.

We have raced together since then and have won the Post Historic Touring Car Championship on two occasions and many more races and class wins in both

the CTCRC Group One Touring Car Championship and the JEC Jaguar Saloon Car Championship.

I was originally asked to join the CTCRC Committee in 1999 and spent many years working for the club. I held many roles including that of Competition Secretary, the very difficult role that is today held by Colin Gibbons. After quite a few years away I re-joined the Committee a couple of years back and hope that as simply a “background” Committee member

my time in Motorsport can still help the CTCRC which is the club that I always consider is the best, most welcoming and my motorsport home.

On a serious note, all members should also appreciate the amount of effort that is put in, totally free of charge, by all our committee members to provide the rest of us with, what is, the best hobby!
