25th May, Bovingdon, Bill Boarer Memorial
Report from Midget News, May 1981
Just for a change it
was raining again. 17 cars turned up for the Bill Boarer Trophy
meeting in appalling conditions. Halfway through the meeting
it was going to be stopped but with pressure from both spectators
and drivers the meeting carried on.

Grid positions were drawn for and Basil Craske,
after a long rest, was quick off the line to take the lead
after two laps and held on to it to win. Geoff Hughes Sen
going extremely well this season was in second place after
three laps closely followed by Malcolm Goodman. There were
quite a few retirements due to the slippery conditions.

Second race, 15 laps. It was good to see George
Pollard going well in this race and he led for three laps
- well done George. Malcolm Goodman wasn't content with 3rd
place in the last race and was soon in the lead with Basil
Craske second. Alan Fretten drove John Blackburn's car to
find out what the problem was and he agreed with John that
there were problems! Mick Bonner was back in form with his
1300cc engine finishing 3rd.

Goodmand had a race of their own for second and third. Malcolm
got second two laps from the end.
