19th August 1990 - Peterborough -
Details from Midget News by Anne Sayell
What looked like being, our first wet meeting of the season
turned out to be completely dry. The day belonged to David
Shreeve who had his first hat trick of the season albeit from
the blue grade. The day saw the maiden outing of Mick Bonner's
new car driven by his son Gary. The car sports a CVH Ford
engine on a Mini gearbox and the team experienced one or two
of the usual teething, problems. When 'on song' however the
car sounded remarkably like the old Scorpion of Mick's which
took him to one championship after another. Graham Drake and
Rod Pashley were attending their second race meeting with
the Club and both scored points as did another newcomer, Roger
Pooley. Unfortunately Rod Pashley's day came to a dramatic
end when he caught the armco on the last bend of the third
race whilst in fifth position. Rod was removed from the circuit
in the ambulance as a precautionary measure and was soon released
having been quite shaken.
