Jack Sears took an immediate lead in the Goodyear shod Willment Galaxie, shattering the prophesies of those who thought the Lotus Cortinas of Jim Clark and Peter Arundell would run rings round it. But the Galaxie blew a tyre, enabling Clark and Arundell to score a 1-2. Once Frank Gardner had displaced Chris Craft's Lotus Cortina for third place on the 13th of the 15 laps all interest had vanished. The 1300 cc saloon car race, for the Small Car Trophy, provided another unexpected winner, in the shape of young John Handley, who handled his Broadspeed Mini-Cooper with great verve and not a little skill to vanquish last year's Broadspeed (and now works) Mini driver John Fitzpatrick. Fitzpatrick's team-mate, John Rhodes, was a close third with Mike Young's Superspeed Anglia fourth. Chris Craft also handled a Superspeed Anglia, but it was off-song throughout and was bested into fifth place by Liz Jones's Alexander-entered 1275 Mini Cooper S. |
