THE SURGERY INTERMARQUE SPRINTS, 2010
ROUND
ONE:
The first round of The Surgery Sprints for 2010 was a
howling success. There were around 70 cars entered and the weather behaved
perfectly. This great combination saw plenty of track time for all. What more
can a petrol head ask for?
The start of the season kicked off with
a good cross section of classic and not so classic cars.
A V8 Triumph
Dolomite, "fly brick" Volvo 144, a genuine "Kiwi" Lotus 7, even a good old
120Y Datsun through to Subaru Impreza's and Mitsi Evo's. Something for every
taste!
The BMW Car Club hosted this first round and the event ran
like clockwork, with no major incidents.
Competitors and
spectators were treated to a lunch time BBQ which also included the prize giving
for the 2009 series.
After many years of the BMW Car Club always being the
"bridesmaid", the club finally reached "bride" status, with a very
convincing win over the second placed RotorMotor Car Club.
Well done
BMW!
The winner(s) of the Driver's Trophy for the series were Jeremy Smyth
and Dave Green with 75 points (1st place equal), followed very closely by Stuart
Chandler with 72 points. In total 43 trophies covering the different classes
were presented.
Finally the Bruce McLaren trophy was awarded to Darryl Monk
for his commitment to the series.
Congratulations to all
winners!
We would also like to thank Tim and Liz Neal for
generously supplying their wonderful coffee at the lunchtime BBQ and throughout
the day.
Round 2 happens on Sunday 30 May.
If
you weren't able to make round 1 to collect your trophy, we'll have remaining
trophies with us at this round, so see us at lunchtime to collect
yours.
Looking forward to seeing you all at the track.
