July 22/23 CROFT (Page 4)

It is an area that needs addressing by the officials. One solution might be to make the races
over a predetermined number of laps rather than time. If an incident should occur, the race
should be stopped with the cars returning to the pits. Once the circuit is cleared, the race should be restarted with a rolling lap with the cars in the order they were in when the race was stopped. This would serve three purposes. It would enable the cars' tyres to warm up and help to prevent further incidents at the first corner. Also it would bunch the cars back together which is one of the reasons why the yellow and black flag has been introduced at present. The rolling lap should count as a warm up lap and not as part of the race laps. The race meeting may possibly over run but at least everyone gets their money's worth.

When the race did resume, Dave slid from tenth to fourteenth after a slide at Tower, but managed to get back to thirteenth by the end of the race. Kevin held his twelfth position.

The next meeting for the Synchro team is at the magnificent Spa-Francorchamps circuit in Belgium. It is the Spa 24hr race and it takes place over August 2/6. The next round of the National Saloon Championship is at Silverstone over the weekend of August 19/20.
