Richard Quinn- gearchange issues with his gearbox.
John Dennehy- Escort, consistantly didnt appear at the start.
Roger Davis- 1st race- rocker cover gasket broke leaking oil onto manifold. 2nd race incorrectly thought he was black flagged. 4th race- handicap- won !!!
Graeme Barnes- flat tyre race 3.
Barry Algie- finally finished a race .Got rid of the miss, sorted out gearlinkage problem.
Rodney Holland- went to change tyre, wheel damaged during process and had no spare wheels.
Dennis Running- recovering from knee surgery no chance either weekend.
Ralf Mossman- threw a power steering belt in race 3 , race 4 engine seized.
Adrian Dobbe- broke camshaft at beginning.
Peter Gunther- flyweel problems before weekend.
