Shonny Paterson, TR7V8, won both races at Knockhill on 13th July.
The first of these successes was particularly hard fought, as Harry Simpson , Ginetta G4 Twin Cam,
was less than half a second behind as the leading car passed the chequered flag.
Paterson's margin in race two was almost twelve seconds from the Porsche 911 of Raymond Boyd.
Other close action of note was the battle between Tim Reid, Marcos GT and Jimmy Crow, Escort RS2000,
with Reid ahead at the end of each race. Similarly, Grant Allan, Porsche 911 and Blair Nimmo, Ford Capri,
were closely matched - Porsche power in the ascendancy both times. Class A competitors, Steve Uphill, Fiesta 1300, and Ian Morton, MG Midget , 1300, provided great entertainment, especially in race two where
Steve crossed the line 0.4 seconds ahead of Ian.
A much higher rate of attrition than normal, due to mechanical woes, sidelined several competitors
in races one and two. At the end of race two only eleven of eighteen cars were running.
Hopefully, this will not be repeated at the next event in August.
