Sunday 27th October - Arlington
Report by 'Youth on the Terrace' from Spedeweek no 43
Youth on the terrace reports that the racing in all four
formulae was excellent, with the Midgets providing some of
the highlights - a nasty pile up into the fence by Frank Boyles
in the first race, the lassooing by the track staff of Paul
Daly's car which was stranded in the middle of the track,
a fine win by Geoff Hughes in the first race and and great
second by Geoff in the second race behind Paul Daly. The afternoon
ended with an allcomers race for all formulae contested by
two Hot Rods, the Midget of British Champion Derek Johnson
and an assortment of six Superstox and six Stock Saloons.
The Hot Rods, going in their normal direction, ran away from
the front grid, with Tony Hatton winning, Derek Johnson went
into the fence, and the Superstox headed by Bert Hawkins and
Bill Bridges set about the Stock Saloons. It was an amusing
and exciting end to the Arlington season.
