just to echo steve's words, what a great weekend for 2cv racing. If people are wondering if the racing's still close then how about 5 abreast across the line and into the hairpin with trevor and andy smith wanting to make it 7 if the track had been wide enough. 0.4seconds covered those 7 as they cross the line and it was an amazing sight. We've got it on long distance shakey camcorder but its still impressive. I'll try and bring it along to one of the meeting for all to see along with the other 3 abreast racing, things falling off and car's smoking that was captured. Thanks to Dawn and Susan for videoing it all.

welldone to phil and wayne for great racing and 2 great finishes.

If anyone has any photos please please please send them to me as the reports are hard to justify without some action shots. Thanks to David for supplying some from oulton you should see them soon.

Forgot to give the race report sheets out so it would be great if you could jot down a few words about the races for the next report. Thanks to all those returns from the first two rounds. Remember if you don't send anything we'll have to make it up although we're not quite up to Mick's level yet! Addresses below

Remember to dig your 2cv out and race it in some sprint races this year. Just imagine what it could be like with even more cars,because we even got BMW racers coming up to us and telling us how good the 2cv racing was!!!
