7th May, Eastbourne, Southern Championship
Report from Motoring News
The Grand Prix Midgets made a welcome return
to Arlington Raceway as part of the five formula "Blockbuster"
meeting on May Day Monday. The spectactularly fast Gary Pollard
cleaned up both the heats, with only the impressive Scott
Roth (in only his second meeting) second in the first one,
and Mick Bonner runner-up in the other. Alf Boarer, despite
suffering a slight handling deficiency, was third in both.
Pollard's run ended during the interval when
Barry Lee borrowed his car for a match race with Bonner. Lee
set off quickly and looked quite at home in his unusual "office"
until the inlet manifold broke and the car went sick, Bonner
eventually taking an easy win.
With Pollard out of contention for the final,
Bonner collected that and with it the Sourthern Championship,
ahead of Boarer and Malcolm Goodman, who took his odd looking
car to its first decent placing of the day.
Heat one: 23/100/69/24/40/44/48/96
Heat two: 23/24/69/100/98/96/28
Southern Championship: 24/69/28/100/96/13/48
