Sunday 5th June
1977, Newton Abbot, British Championship
The meeting was promoted
by Autospeed with the Midgets billed as 'Speedcars'. This
will undoubtedly cause much confusion over the years because
Speedears was the name given to Hednesford's Super Rod formula
which was launched at about the same time. Alf Boarer lost
a finger at this meeting. Keith Fransella won the opening
15 lap race in a time of 3 minutes 19.3 seconds - quicker
than both the existing F2 Stox and Hot Rod records held by
Colin Higman (3m51s) and Spence Morgan (4m10.7s) respectively.
Race one: 1st Keith
Fransella, 2nd Wayne Doidge, 3rd Dave Rowe, 4th Terry Teden,
5th Basil Craske, 6th John Graham.
British Championship:
1st Malcolm Goodman (5m09.5s), 2nd Basil Craske, 3rd John
Graham, 4th Fred Harding, 5th John Lowe, 6th Dave Rowe, 7th
Brian Forrest, 8th Dennis Hooper.
Handicap: 1st Malcolm
Goodman, 2nd Fred Harding, 3rd Keith Fransella, 4th John Lowe.
