Very hot 34 today. Must for roasting waiting on the dummy grid!
Our race not until 3:20pm. Hard work just waiting in the heat. Times like this I wish we had an air-conditioned
motorhome or even a fan would be good! I prepared a wet, refrigerated towel for Noel to wrap around his neck.
The race started well. Once again Noel kept up with the pack that Bruno Weibel was driving with. Someone spun off the sweeper and hit the wall. They brought out the safety car and Noel got stuck behind a slow car that he was lapping for the next two laps. The final couple of laps of real racing were not enough for him to catch the bunch.
Nonetheless, he finished 11th, improving on his 15 start on the grid. He was also 2nd in class behind Bruno (Switzerland), with Ivo from Germany third in class. Two very personable young men.
In the absence of Duncan who is on tour in the States, Robin presented the trophies and did a very good job too.
The later model, disk brake, Hewland gearbox Juniors were dominated by Italians, including Tonetti who raced in NZ a few years ago.
