The month of May at Shakespeare County has seen the season kick in to high gear with regular two weekly fixtures on the weekends of May 1^st/2^nd/3rd, May 15^th/16^th and the upcoming May 28^th/29^th.

Having waited several months through a wet and cold winter it was great to see both the Outlaw Anglia’s and Wild Bunch make two visits on the first two weekends, contesting both the Motor Sport Association and their own individual points series.

Once again the weatherman had his part to play in the first event, which saw heavy intermittent showers result in a frustrating day for all concerned with the Shakespeare County track crew working overtime to dry the strip only to see minutes later another downpour wrecking all of the hard work.

Sunday and Monday provided better conditions, and with a number of debutants and returning cars to both series a lively sessions were witnessed.

At the end of the day, Cliff Griffin was in top spot in Outlaw Anglia and will once again be the man to beat in 2016, although just maybe the competition is getting a little closer!

Third placed ‘Cooper Brothers

 Was good to see returning driver Paul Hensher in the fluorescent yellow (does that play havoc with your light meter!) ‘Gas Attack’ Pop, not seen for a couple of years and  newly licensed Scott Crookston under the watchful eye of stateside visitor last fall Colin Miller in the ‘Flying Fyfer’ car.

Two weeks later and a number of Outlaws gathered for a non-points session including long distance Southern Irish traveller in the black and gold pin striped Barn Stormer and contender for burn out of the day Dave Sidaway in the ‘Time Bomb’ panel van, did those slicks ever work hard!
