Lydden 15 & 22 May

[Rod Birley]

Some websites and fixture lists show these dates as BARC meetings at Lydden. Unfortunately, neither is happening. May 15th was due to be the BriSCA F.1 50th anniversary event but instead this is now a motorcycle meeting. The F.1s are racing at Northampton stadium that evening and will be commemorating the anniversary along with F.2 stock cars. A bumper (pardon the pun) entry is expected.
May 22nd was to have been an alternative date but other fixtures were already booked so no agreement could be reached (shame, especially after a lot of hard work and a very big phone bill). However, the short circuit boys will be appearing on Sept.11th at Lydden and amongst the events planned will be the stock rod vs. stock hatch round two on the oval.
