Race 5: Big Engined Pre 1966 Touring Cars

The third of Tin Top Sunday’s headline races was predominantlyfor mighty V8-engined US muscle cars from the sixties with a good splatteringof giant-killing Lotus Cortinas and Mini Coopers adding to the entertainment.

Leo Voyazides’ fast-starting Ford Falcon spun at the firstcorner and as the dust settled it was the two Ford Mustangs of Sean McInerneyand Craig Davies that were tussling for the lead.

Sadly, it wasn’t long before McInerney’s Mustang gave up theghost leaving the Alan Mann Racing liveried car of Davies clear of NigelGreensall’s Falcon and Roger Willis in the huge Mercury Comet Cyclone.

Wills rose to second when the Falcon also retired, but theCyclone came under increasing pressure in the closing laps from thehard-charging Lotus Cortina shared by Andy Wolfe and Michael Ganns – the V8power ultimately keeping the American muscle car ahead.

1. Craig Davies (Ford Mustang) 14 laps
2. Roger Wills (Mercury Comet Cyclone) +22.611s
3. Michael Ganns / Andy Wolfe (Ford Lotus Cortina) +23.093s
