Class Eight was a dual between two very different cars. Jack Selwood was in the historic DP Ford, a lightweight Front Engined RWD with 1500 pre-crossflow power. Roger Teagle had his rear engined UVA Fugitive with a two litre motor.
The two were neck and neck all day but it was Jack who found the extra grip on a leafy Holdridge Hill where he got to the four.
This wasn’t the best performance on Holdridge Hill though. Phillip Thomas climbed one mark further than Jack in his Melos but lost the overall win after dropping ten on High Bray.
There were three Solo clean sheets, Colin Nichols taking the win on the tests. Martin Keswick/Josh Cook just pipped Steve Urell/Julie Williams for the Outfit award.
