Thank you to all of you for your enthusiastic participation at this year’s ACOC’s Clubman’s Sprint at Goodwood. Please find attached the final times for the event, plus trophy awards (to be presented at the ACOC’s annual Dinner Dance on 6th February 2016).
I am pleased to announce that I’ve awarded the Secretary of the Meeting's Cup to Howard Bryan. Howard drove 600+ miles from York and back in his AC Greyhound in order to participate, enduring rain, two spins and a session in the Lavant gravel trap in the process… true AC spirit and determination!
Congratulations to Cheung Lim for his fastest time of the day of []b108.28, an impressive achievement considering the slippery conditions.
Well done to Robert Bremner in his AC Cobra 289 for winning the Brooklands Trophy (fastest AC car of the day) and to Sarah Thorne for winning the Betty Haig Trophy (fastest lady driver in an AC). Murray Shepherd wins the Ted Whitewall Trophy (fastest AC Ace Bristol), with the fastest time of the day on handicap in an AC car awarded to Andy Shepherd in his AC MKIV Cobra Lightweight (being only 3.1% off the fastest time in his class). Last but not least, the Knickered Demon Trophy is awarded to Steve Grey in his AC Buckland for the fastest time in an AC-engined car.
Best wishes to you all over the festive season and I look forward to seeing you all again in 2016!
