1988



 

17th September 1988, Swaffham, Derek Kisby Memorial
Report from Short Circuit, November 1988

On to Swaffham a week later for the Derek Kisby Memorial meeting and it was Harry Lowe who once again won the feature race. Harry had another comfortable win on this occasion leading home Dermott McGivern (enjoying his first outing this year) and Wesbroom. Wesbroom looked as though he might pass McGivern at one point but dropped back with a handling problem. Shreeve was fourth after a hectic scrap with Brake and Craske.

Wesbroom cured his suspension problems to romp away with the first support race and attention was focused on a hammer and tongs battle for second between Lowe and Craske. Basil eventually battling past on the final lap.

Craske had a narrow win over Wesbroom in the final with McGivern finishing third after leading for 11 of the 15 laps. Shreeve was a consisten fourth with Sayell the only other finisher. Lowe had a nasty fright earlier in the race when his steering column broke and he slammed into the fence, fortunately without personal injury.
