The grass tests at Pinwherry scheduled for May 19th had to be cancelled
due to the field being waterlogged. Next Pinwherry meetings are on
June 16th and July 7th. Look up website for details of how to enter.
In our rush to go away on holiday in April, our first edition
of the season seems to have gone astray, so we are
sending it out with this second issue. We hope to get a bit
more up to date once the heavy July calendar has been
taken care of.
Fortunately rain did stay away
from Muirkirk except for Sunday
practice, but it was still on the cold
KAMES
side for the opening sprint weekApril 13 & 14
end of the season. With many of
East Ayrshire Car Club
the more fancied runners falling by
the wayside, young Louise Calder
took the first FTD of the weekend in her one litre Jedi Mk1. Runner-up
was Les Mutch. Only one tenth of a second ahead of John Mackenzie.

Sunday:
Heavy rain was forecast for the morning with dry/sunny afternoon, and
the met boys got it right in this occasion. The practice was pretty horrid
and everyone can be grateful that the marshals endured it all. Louise
struggled with the Jedi next day and John Mackenzie emerged from a
close encounter with the one litre OMS Hornet of Andrew Grover to
take FTD by 0.08 of a second. Stephen Alexander took third place
after a weekend battle with Les Mutch who took fourth place in the
overall results.
