Donington - a close race!

Practice on track wise was uneventful but Peter Williams blew his engine after qualifying 2nd. Dave Krayem was on pole in his new Radical as the Stealth still being repaired.

Clive Hayes came in with the body work rubbing on the tyre only to find a bracket holding the suspension had fractured, unable to source welding equipment he rang the car builders who brought one up from Silverstone which was fitted in time for the race.

At the start of the race Dave Krayem made an awful start (not used to so little power??)  Graham Booth guesting in a Caterham r400 leapt into the lead, followed by Clive but after about 4 mins oil was put down and with several cars  spinning the race was red flagged.

At the restart Krayem went into the lead followed by Clive  Booth, a Ferrari and Martin Davies. After 2 laps Clive took the lead and for the rest of the race there was a good scrap between Dave and Clive with Martin joning in. It was a bloody good race 0.3 secs covering 1st to 3rd. Clives car must have adjustable width as he tried to go on the inside of Martin at the flag and the gap looked to me to be smaller than his car Dave was on the outside of Martin and his words at the end were  "Where did that bloody saloon come from!"

Narrow margin- Dave picks up his awards
