Exciting Racing at Sweltering Snetterton. Click Here for the Report

The weather was hot and humid, especially on the Sunday. The racing was dramatic, incident packed but without any real damage to man or machine. Neil only took the 1300 Fiesta which went much better after a lot of attention since it last raced at Thruxton on Easter Monday. Neil did not race at Silverstone.

14 Apr 2009

The weather was grey, the grids were thin, but the racing was good. With the Capri still hors de combat after Oulton Neil was only racing in Group 1, in the 1300 class. The car isn't going very well in its new guise and Neil finished tail end Charlie, albeit with a class win, as Brian Goodwin retired with cooling system problems.

Jim McLoughlin won Group 1 and David Howard Post Historic

Falcon Motor Club Vice-President Neil Bray has competed in many forms of Motorsport over the years. Back in the 70’s Neil was a keen Autocrosser in a Mini. Then the Stock Car bug bit and Neil drove a Formula 2 machine until he had the accident where he lost his arm at Ipswich. Apart from an interlude autocrossing an Escort Neil has concentrated on trialling, with the ex-Derek Fleming Primrose and a number of Skoda’s.

Then a couple of years ago Neil’s son Chris started racing an Escort in the Classic Touring Car Racing Clubs Group 1 championship. His appetite wetted by Chris’s exploits, and a couple of outings in the car, Neil decided to go racing with his own machine and acquired a 3 litre Mk 1 Capri that had been prepared for Historic Saloon Car Racing.

Early in 2007 former CTCRC chairman Neil Hugh Poston offered Neil his Fiesta and team 76 now race that car in the pre - 83 Group 1 race.
