Pole man Will Nuthall in his Cooper T53 just led into the first corner, with the first four cars being side by side. Nuthall then drove a steady race for the win.

Andrew Beaumont in his Lotus 18 finished some 2.7 seconds behind Nuthall, while Chris

Drake in another Cooper finished third. Greg Thornton did well to finish fourth in a locally built LDS.

Beaumont spoiled Nuthall’s clean sweep for the series by winning the second race by half a second after a close race. Drake was third again, this time ahead of Steve Hart in a Cooper Maserati. Eddy Perk, who came fifth in his Heron, won the ‘local’ car race after Thornton retired in his LDS. 5
