1972



Thursday 9th November 1972 – Aldershot
Report from Wheelspin, November 1972

The evening started off with a Midget race which was won in fine style by British and National Champion Rod Tanswell M1 in the very impressive Fireball Mk 4. Some way back second man M31 Dave Cox was being hard pressed by M34 Frank Boyles. In the trophy race Frank Boyles looked a certain winner in the lead by a quarter-lap when a drive shaft parted company with the gearbox and his race ended. This let M12 Barry Martin through to take the lead which he wasn’t to lose. Frantic efforts by Rod Tanswell failed to materialise as he had to be contented with second place.
