23rd October 1971 - Wimbledon - National
Championship
Part
of 'The Evolution of Midgets' by Rod Tanswell from the book
'Living With Spede'- results from the raceday programme
The National Championship was held on October
23rd at Wimbledon with the greatest number of cars of the
year, 27 in all lined up for the big race. The race had its
ups and downs with Frank Boyles going out in the early stages
and various other stars. Eventually the race was won by Bob
Elson in fine style. A well deserved win indeed, Bob had
the luck that we all need at times and made the most of it.
What with finishing up third in the points chart and National
Champion, he must have felt very satisfied with his first
full year racing in Midgets.
