Tanswell in the wet

 

15th September - Wimbledon, BP Supernational

Quite a few pictures of this one kicking around which is weird because it was so wet that you can't identify the cars in most of them. Spedeworth were still using the picture of a shale covered Malcolm Goodman Fireball two seasons later. This must have been the wettest ever Midget race meeting held at Wimbledon and to add insult to injury the cars had to complete a 50 lap race.

50 lap race. Result: 1st Barry Martin, 2nd Frank Boyles, 3rd Mick Davis, 4th Neil Thomas, 5th Rod White, 6th John Houghton
