In the combined Historic Roadsports and Historic Racing Saloons races at Cadwell Park on Saturday 24th, Mark Watts upheld the Historic Saloon honours in entertaining style, having missed qualifying and starting from the back of the grid. Mark’s big white Mustang growled it’s way around the Park clawing it’s way up the order by gobbling up the smaller cars in it’s path to finish 3rd. Sadly we were deprived of the expected challenge from Neil Wood’s beautiful black Anglia when the gearbox issues resulted in an early retirment.
On Sunday 25th May, race Peter Micklewright in his Elan held off the close attentions of Mike Stephenson’s lovely Lotus Cortina whilst the Elan of Mervyn Selwyn had the boxy shape of Antony Warnes Austin A40 filling it’s mirrors. Meanwhile the Fiat 600 Abarth of Stephen Chapman (complete with open engine cover) buzzed around the circuit without missing a beat, sounding like a tuned sewing machine to the delight of all the spectators.
