TR Lincs April 2016
It's official then, the season has finally started with the roar of TR's heard up and down the county - well a few early season coughs and splutters anyway. We have already had two excursions out and the details of those follow this.
Snetterton Swinging Sixties - aka the boat race, 9th April
As many of you know Dave McDonald is a regular competitor in the Swinging Sixties Classic racing series. Last Saturday saw the first race of the season held at Snetterton. To support Dave a few intrepid souls convoyed down to Norfolk in what was pretty miserable weather to cheer Dave on. The weather decided to take a turn for the worse soon after arrival, so much so that the Wensum group, who were to join us, were rained off. Hardy lot us TR Linc' ers! Dave's qualifying session saw him 7th on the grid for the afternoon race ably assisted by Alan Coote as pit crew. Given the terrible conditions and the unforgiving surface and a spin off Dave finished a credible 14th overall in a time of 41minutes and 19.981seconds over 12 laps covering some 35.6 miles. Well done and good luck for the rest of the series.
Dave hoping for some dry track! We're a hardy lot!
