Derek Jones was
spectacular in the Brabham BT37
– easily the fastest flat-bottom car in the race. |

In
Saturday's main feature race,
Hamish was in a league of his own in the
FW07.
It didn't seem so initially, as one or two others were right there in
qualifying – particularly Sean
Allen.
Sean was
putting it all together now that his crew – after lots of hard work
sorting the car – had given him a really good car to race.
However, when the green
flag dropped,
Hamish
simply checked out.

Having parked the
FW08
on Saturday,
(even
Lee's laying on of hands failed)

Pete
decided to drive the
McLaren on Sunday.
Unfortunately, whilst warming up the M19
just prior to forming up on the grid, the mechanical fuel-pump seal failed, pouring
fuel all over the ground.
There was nothing
we could do to
repair it in time,
so it was another
disappointing Glen weekend for
Pete!

for its next outing.

On Sunday, the organizers continued to try and make more of a show for the
spectators. |

Hamish,
Sean Allen,
Bud Moeller and
Ari Luyendyk
were swapping places all around the track in what appeared to be a very
hard-fought race – four cars fighting for the lead with a different car
crossing the stripe for each of the first 6 laps.
Then it was down to Hamish
and Ari
for the final laps, with Hamish
taking the checker again.
