Nineteen cars qualified for the Scottish Classics visit to Oulton Park on 2nd June, in wet conditions which some drivers found
rather difficult. A twentieth, the Porsche 911 of Raymond Boyd, was able to start race one from the back of the grid, following
alternator problems prior to qualifying. More entrants were expected, however, mechanical failures during Friday testing reduced
numbers.
Regular winner, Andy Smith, had little difficulty winning both races in his Morgan +8.
Invitation class entrant, David Holroyd, Lotus Elan 26R, came second in race one and fourth in race two.
Robert Marshall, Ford Escort came home with two third places, especially enjoying a very close battle with Holroyd in race one.
Boyd climbed to fourth in race one and finished two seconds behind Smith in the second outing, just ahead of Marshall.
Further down the order, Nic Boyes, Mini Cooper, and Keiron Baillie, Ford Escort, fought very hard over seventh place in race one.
Boyes had a similarly intense race two, on this occasion with Robin Benn, Ford Capri.
The next two rounds are at Croft on 23rd and 24th June, part of the BTCC weekend.
