From the Formula Ford Book, the results of the first-ever FF race (all in Lotuses):
1st 94 R. Allen (Motor Racing Stables Ltd), 10"04.4
2nd 103 M. Payne (Jim Russell Racing Drivers' School), 10"10.2
3rd 105 C. Bourgoigne (JRRDC), 10"10.8
4th 104 M. Fletcher (JRRDC), 10"12.0
5th 98 P. Wardle (MRS), 10"12.6
6th 85 E. Patrick (MRS), 10"13.4
George Lewis led the first lap, but spun out to be the first-ever FF retirement (if you don't count S. Sherman, who was pushed off the grid). Otherwise it was Allen all the way.
