Simon Benoy will be out on track at Knockhill this Saturday for day and night races in the Swinging Sixties race series run by the Classic Sports Car Club (CSCC). Simon's Imp is powered by a 1200cc Imp engine and has proved to be a very competitive car with Simon behind the wheel. We wish him well and look forward to hearing the results.
Imps have been on display all around the country this weekend. We've had hill climbing at Doune in Scotland, the Wicked Welsh Weekend in North Wales, and down in the South, 12 Imps, including 2 Davrians went to Tilford Rural Life Living Museum for their annual classic car show. We thank those who have sent us photos from Tilford (attached) and Doune.
Imps have been proving how competitive they can be at Doune Hill Climb in Scotland this weekend. Some great photos from Malcom Smith.

Race 2 results from Snetterton.Very wet 2nd race. Mike Loveland went like a rocket off the line as did Gary Prebble who was running in 5th after lap 1, having started from the back of the grid, whilst Brendan got caught up with the cortina of Simon Gusterson. Lap 2 saw Gary and Mike having some wheel to wheel action. By start of lap 3 Prebble 4th Loveland 5th Rooney 9th.Race ended with Gary Prebble 4th, Mike Loveland 6th and Brendan Rooney in 9th. Off to Silverstone in 3 weeks for the final round of the championship.
Buy a race car, stick it on a trailer and go to a track and have some fun. That's the dream of many. The reality is far more hard hitting. With race fees, ongoing maintenance and accident damage. The people who take their cars racing are dedicated to the core and when things go wrong, everyone clubs together to help.This was the case of Gary Prebble this weekend. His words say it all:"From a broken crank in qualifying yesterday to finding a crank 1.5 hrs away, and pulling an all nighter, we line up to take race 2 today at 11:30.What a team!! Huge thanks to the boys Jake Liscoe, Daniel Waghorn, Graham Crompton for all the help and banter LETS GOOO !!!!"Race one saw Brendan and Mike having a tussle for position before Mike spun and Brendan was able to maintain quite a lead to take a class win. What will race 2 bring with Gary able to make the grid? Be sure to catch the action on the BARC YouTube channel as they go on track at 11.30 (times subject to change as we found yesterday). Can Brendan romp home with a second class win? Can Mike keep it clean? Or will Gary get in on the action?Well done to all involved in helping Gary, and we wish all the racers the best of luck.
Imps are out on track at Snetterton this weekend so be sure to support them either in person or watch it all on YouTube, we wish them all well:www.youtube.com/live/BbmtbqiQz1w?si=93sVQWQ4_Y1W6yO1
