Rallycross team triumph
At the third Lydden festival of motorsport, today, the rallycross boys beat the group A hot rods on the oval. Team scores were 162 to 146. Although group A hot rod driver Chris Goldsmith won overall, Julian Godfrey finished a strong second (winning one of the heats as well). Former rallycrosser but back in the hot rod team, Alan Thorndyke came third overall. Best prepared cars went to 761 David Martin (stock hatch) and 82 Dave Lamb (hot rods). Unluckiest driver award went to Capt.Kirk, who unfortunately ended up in hospital, must stress nothing to do with racing....may be dodgy food last night??
It was a very good, clean meeting, plenty of camararderie and joviality at the end. Its amazing what a few beers and a BBQ can do. Anyway well done to team Stock hatch, a brilliant effort. |

Just to let you know, I spoke to Kirk last night. He is out of hospital and back home now. He said he still feel's pretty tired and sore, but glad to be home.
I think considering how he felt throughout the day it was a damn good effort on his part, towards the team.  ps Kirk - thanks for trusting me with your car, a don't forget to get that master switch sorted out! Stu |
