OK!.... For some reason best known to the organisers they
would not let us race. One could speculate that they were afraid
of us showing up the classic formula 3 stars. With Messrs
Stewart, Moss, Reggazoni, Brabham and Bell there to watch the
fourteen classic events over the two days, we of Team Northern
Centre were unable therefore to impress and thus reduced to the
ignominy of mere spectators.
It was exciting, spectacular, and at times ear drum splitting. Oulton Park was celebrating its 50th Anniverary in style, and although the Gold Cup format was somewhat changed to the first time it was held, nevertheless it retained a fair amount of its original magic. Good weather and the well established Northern Centre
barbecue made it an enjoyable Bank holiday outing for those
members who had not headed East for that Centre's weekend. |
