Another time, there was rumor about the rules. Walkinshaw’s Mazda was asked to have its mounting points for the anti roll bar moved back to the original suspension - but this was a modification all Capris used for over a year, so they had to be changed likewise. Worst of all, not everybody in the field was informed - and that would cost them dear.
Race 1
Stuart Graham, fresh from his County Championship success, made a superb start to lead away from Allam and the rest, but the BP driver was only on his tail for a short while, getting pushed onto the grass at Old Hall and dropping a fair few places. As they rounded the first lap, it was the two red Spice cars in hot pursuit of Graham's Faberge/Lee backed machine, then Woodman holding off the Triplex Dollies, while the ear-shattering Mazda trailed Allam in eighth place.
It took Allam just two laps to fight back up to fifth, behind his fellow Capri drivers, and once Spice had warmed his tires sufficiently to drive past Graham at Old Hall, the race up front became a Ford procession.
Down in the smaller capacity class Walkinshaw forced his way past the Dolomites to claim his expected class win, though Greenslade gave stern chase only to be disqualified for an illegal anti-roll bar mount! Marshall dropped back with a broken seat belt; he was having to fight to stay in the seat, let alone in control, at each corner! Williams claimed fourth in class, shadowed by Brunt's improved Magnum, while Goss' challenge to Saunders faded with a broken exhaust.
Race 2
Win Percy was magnificent, comfortably leading for lap after lap, until, with just half a tour to run, tragedy struck. The Toyota put a rod through the block, and a surprised Lloyd took the flag! However the Golf was disqualified at post race scrutineering. Yes, you guessed it, he was running the same type of anti-roll bar mounting as the Capris and Mazda had been forced to remove!
John Morris thus inherited the class, Minshaw having retired midway through the race with a blown head gasket. Longman, winner of the tiddler class, enjoyed something of a lucky success, too, for dicing with Curnow the pair hit Percy's oil. Longman kept it all together, while poor Curnow slammed the barriers head on. Second in class went to Pitcher after a superb race long duel with Mowatt.
