Well the weather gods smiled on us again tonight, and although it wasn’t a scorcher, at least it stayed dry….
Alan Forrester was a clear winner of the Dave Astles Memorial Trophy.. and a worthy winner he was too, he had two wins and a second over the series. I hope he enters next year to defend his title.

Of all the helpers on the evening, we’re sure that ‘Spanish’ Jed was grateful for team soigneur Syd’s assistance in relieving a sudden onset of cramp during the race…
