Gordon Spice took yet another predictable Tricentrol Gp1 win at Thruxton, but only after Vince Woodman had shared the lead, the lesser classes falling to Tom Walkinshaw, Richard Lloyd and Richard Longman. None of those results should raise many eyebrows, but Woodman, Walkinshaw, Lloyd and Longman all broke their class records, testimony to the speed of the race. |
