That looked like great fun battling Daz. Blimey what is in the chim ? I thought the class C cars had to have 4lt standard engines in. How on earth can two AJP Tuscans struggle to keep up ?
Its the fastest standard 3.9 I've ever seen...keeps up with 500hp LS's it seems. 
Not concentrating on the Start Line lights (where i probably should been a touch more vigilant ) dropped me from 4th to 9th by Old Hall ! My mistake, but still good fun getting back to 4th.
I could have made a couple of "full on" moves to get past Matt and Billy earlier and sooner ,but hey this is Club Racing on sunny Saturday - and i like to turn out a shiny car.. and bring one home too.

Just looks like some very good driving from mat there. The Rover engine has an advantage off the line even in a tuscan and the chim/griff chassis is better off the line than a tuscan.Mat, is just driving a good line, and the Tuscans struggling to find a way around. when they get past he's dropped quite quickly on the vid as you would expect with the extra grunt.
I did have to laugh when Mat had a go back up the inside at shell oils, goo on son...

This must have been from a day you didn't care that much about polishing your car , you placed a lot of trust in me that day. 
you were all 
blazing that's plain to see. Glad you had a good safe weekend.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDMvP3d_zcc

Hi Darren , epic footage and great driving . At the end of the first video as you crest over clay hill there is a big "thud" and shake of the camera , did the rear end leave the ground ? Matt was epic as ever , I thought I'd done enough one I passed him but he re passed me twice and stuck it right up the inside at Island hairpin twice , a worthy champion .
ps any more videos from anyone

Funny you should ask that question Chris, as 'yes' I have, as I was trailing the action!
We pick it up with 7 minutes remaining....

Chimaera

noun
noun: chimaera
1.
(in Greek mythology) a fire-breathing Three Arsed monster that's difficult to circumvent.
Some great defensive work from Matt S ,and a great dice for all three of you - that's what it's all about.
Still think your Gulf Tuscan is one of the loveliest out there Matt, and it managed to stay lovely.
