Team Meeting (1600 cc) - Action |
9 teams of 6 should have given us 54 cars, however, a couple of teams were short which resulted in about 50 cars. Not a lot of material due to 1600 cc limited though there were 3 Mk3 Tinas and 3 Stellas amongst the Mk4 Tinas, Capris and Bluebirds and the one VW Golf of Tim Lawry (831).
The Teams were 3 Litre Mag 'A' (3A), 3 Litre Mag 'B' (3B), The Bulleys (BS), Men in Black (MB), The Real Deal (RD), The Seasiders (SS), Team Mental (TM), Team Rhino (TR) and Team Tina (TT).
Format was 2 heats of 3 cars per team, one heat of 4 cars per team and an all in final. The DD did not count towards the competition. there were heat wins for Bryan Webb (RD 283), Colin Farley (3B 7) and Stu Cummings (3A 857). Dale Hughes (BS 27) won the final from Mark Simmons (TM 355) and Farley (3B 7), which resulted in ateam win for the 3 Litre Mag 'B' team from the Bulleys and Team Mental. The DD was won by Michael Strudwick (183) from Simon Byrne (172).
The weather was appaling hence the quality of the photos, not helped by wet shale that stuck to everyone!
