A hot sunny day at Lydden Hill - but a relatively small crowd
|
|
 |
The Track and Race Car
Saloons line up on the grid
|
|
 |
And approach the Devils Elbow
|
|
 |
Rod Birley's Escort was an easy winner
|
|
 |
But not as easy as this Caterham R400 in the first
Southern Saloons and Sports Car race
|
|
 |
Here is Kingsley Marten in his M5
|
|
 |
With an XJS attacking at Paddock Hill
|

|
|
 |
Its a big grid
|
|
 |
Don Hughes has qualified superbly, 8th overall
|
|
 |
Buts it all very close, 2 seconds covering all the cars
|
|
 |
Andrew Guy's Escort
|
|
 |
Race start - and the West Capri pulls away
|
|

exiting the hairpin

|
|

Then the inside
|
|
 |
And again on the inside - all at Paddock Hill
|
|
 |
Don Hughes goes around the outside of Brian Steven's
XJS, bumper hanging off after being hit by another Golf. He goes on to win class
D, 6th overall.
|
|
 |
Kingsley Marten and Sean Hayes battle it out through Paddock Hill in the second
Southern Saloon and Sports Car race
|
|
 |
And nothing to do with Lydden - but notice the bat flying round our living room that night. Not a usual occurrence on the outskirts of
Croydon.
