Swaffham
Report by Judy Goodman from Short Circuit June 1977
Our first meeting at
Swaffham this year proved to be very exciting. With 22 cars
in the first race, the early lead was taken by Wayne Doidge
followed by Dave Haywood and Allan Fretten. Meanwhile, Dave
Wesbroom and Keith Fransella were moving up quickly. After
a pile up on the far bend Fransella took the lead, but silver
top Malcolm Goodman, taking a chance on the outside, pulled
up to second place from the back. John Graham, Alf Boarer
and Brian Harding were right behind him. On lap 14 Goodman
took the lead and went on to win closely followed by Fransella
and Boarer.
With the star men out
to prove themselves, Keith Fransella once again took the lead
with bleu top John Graham right behind. However Craske once
again made a good start and was coming up fast along with
Fred Harding, Goodman and Bonner. Unfortunately, Goodman and
Bonner touched wheels and Bonner spun out . Bonner, now a
lap behind, recovered and gradually picked off the rest of
the field until once again he was up with the leaders. Meanwhile
Craske had taken the lead and went on to tale the chequered
flag followed by Goodman and Bonner. Only 6 finished with
Fred Harding, John Lowe and Roland Parker taking the minor
places.
