	Race 1 - With light rain persistent it was a lottery choosing wets or dry. Nigel James (C2 Spice SE86 Pontiac Fierra) and Allen Lloyd (C2 Spice SE90C) elected to stay on wets and Casper Elgaard (Kremer CK6 Porsche 962) decided to make a very late change to slicks, whilst Chris Randall (Nissan NPT-90 GTP) had intermediates. Nigel James rushed off into the distance, chased by Allen Lloyd, Randall and Elgaard. Randall was frustrated by a low 6th gear and Casper Elgaard who was waiting for his slicks to warm up. By lap 11 Elgaard was in third and took the lead on lap 19, which he held until the end of the 35 minutes. The final result was Elgaard 1st, Allen Lloyd 2nd and Chris Randall 3rd. Class winners were Casper Elgaard, Allen Lloyd and Peter Schleifer (March Chevrolet 84G). Race 2 - A dry race was a huge relief after the difficulties in the morning. Jim Mullen (Spice GTP Chevrolet) at last had some grip and he, Casper Elgaard and David Mercer (C1 Spice SE90) had a terrific dice, finishing in qualifying order with the 2nd win for Casper Elgaard followed by Jim Mullen in 2nd and David Mercer in 3rd. Class winners were, Casper Elgaard, Allen Lloyd and Peter Schleifer. N.B. A great boost for Erwin Kremer who is recovering in hospital from a heart attack earlier in the week.
