27th March 1976, Wimbledon
Report from London Diary, Spedeweek no 5
With such a fine programme of Hot Rods, some
Spedeworth officials were surprised at the crowd's enthusiasm
for the Grand Prix Midgets, with the majority staying on for
the last race, the ninth after the (hot rod) London Championship.
This was most encouraging and all three Midget races were
excellent. Frank Boyles showed that he had lost none of his
speed with two wins. Roland Parker won the other race and
got a second, veteran Paul Emery had two second places, 1975
Points Champion Malcolm Goodman was second in the last race.
I was sorry to learn of the death of Derek Kisby (Midget 99).
Despite missing many meetings last year due to ill health
he finished high up in the points table and his neat car was
always a credit to the sport.
Race one: 1st Frank Boyles, 2nd Paul Emery,
3rd Roland Parker, 4th John Smith, 5th Keith Fransella, 6th
Dennis Hooper, 7th Brian Harding, 8th John Graham
Race two: 1st Roland Parker, 2nd Paul Emery,
3rd Brian Harding, 4th Keith Fransella, 5th Alf Boarer, 6th
Fred Harding, 7th Malcolm Goodman, 8th John Graham
Race three: 1st Frank Boyles, 2nd Malcolm
Goodman
