In the formula IIs the local driver was Peter Watt, Kirriemuir, and he had a good night’s racing, although a spin in the first heat saw him drop down the order.

Although he quickly recovered, he had to settle for ninth place. In heat two and the final Watt brought his car home in ninth place but in the Grand National he ended up in eighth place.

Barry Russell, from Brechin, was involved in some pretty hectic action with all three races being decided with a last bend challenge.

Russell was the benefactor during the opening heat and picked up a couple of late places to be the first home. In heat two Russell ended up in second place but then had to settle for third place during the final.
