| INEX Qualifier Race - Knockhill - Sunday 3rd July 2011 |
The ‘extra’ race on Sunday afternoon was effectively a ‘freebie’ courtesy of the generous sponsorship given by John Marshall of Beatson’s Building Supplies, this race being a way in which regular participants could share in the funds so provided. John himself elected not to take part.
It was called the "INEX Qualifier" as, for those drivers registered with INEX (which is the US body in charge of administering Legends Racing worldwide), this race became the 11th INEX points scoring round. The World Standings in each division of Legends Racing are run over 11 "regional" rounds and a 12th final round in December at Infineon Raceway in California.
All the "Gents" agreed to go ‘in the draw’ and the grid was decided by the reverse order of Championship points.
And to make the race more interesting, it was run over 14 laps - 4 laps more than a normal ‘final’.
By all reports the start was the best ever with all the engine notes rising as one when the lights went out. Kevin Kettlewell and Gareth Davies were on the front row and it was Kevin who led down through Duffus & McIntyre’s. But by the end of the first lap, Jeff Pritchard was in the lead, a position he was to hold for the ensuing two laps. He was demoted to 4th on the next lap by the trio of Scott Hynds, Ross Marshall and Ross Mickel. The latter pair bested Scott next time around and went on to enjoy a race long scrap with Ross Marshall just hanging on to win by 5/100th of a second. Scott dropped off the back of them but comfortably held on for third. From last place at the end of the first lap Gerard McCosh steadily worked his way through the field nipping past Billy Wait at Clarke’s on the last lap and fending off Robbie Burgoyne, who’d also got past Billy, for 4th place. Billy, who had been running well, thought he could re-take Robbie at the hairpin but the gap disappeared and they made light contact, dropping Billy well down the order. This contact allowed Jeff to nip past Robbie for a brilliant 5th place. After Robbie there was a keen battle taking place with Chris Hynds managing to fend off the attentions of David Hunter. Holding a watching brief behind them was Glenn Burtenshaw who was not on as sparkling form as usual. Pino Palazzo, who had dropped well down the order on the first lap, gradually reeled in the other "Gents" and bested them, leading home a train of cars comprising Robin Webb, Alan Fearnley and Paul McKay (and Billy after his ‘contact’), who had all enjoyed a prolonged battle, a mere 2 seconds separating them at the line. From their front row starts, Kevin and Gareth had both sensibly given way to the faster cars, bringing their steeds safely home at the rear of the field. Championship leader, Carol Brown, had a storming start from the very back of the grid and was in 6th place by the end of the third lap when an engine mis-fire brought a precautionary premature end to her race.

| What is happening this coming Season |
Finally an update now that some spring-like weather has put in a brief appearance.
The coming Season is looking good - possibly the best yet.
We have a 10 round Championship, 3 of these being "away" from Knockhill with a double-header at Cadwell Park - arguably the most challenging circuit in the UK - and a single round at Croft.
Dates are below:
April 10th - Knockhill - Round 1
April 30th & May 1st - Knockhill - Rounds 2 & 3
Jun 4th & 5th - Cadwell Park - Rounds 4 & 5
July 2nd & 3rd - Knockhill - Round 6
August 14th - Knockhill - Round 7
September 10th (Saturday) - Knockhill - Round 8
September 24th & 25th - Croft - Round 9
October 9th - Knockhill - Round 10
The regular grid looks like having more cars than last year - perhaps 25/27 - and who knows possibly a capacity grid at some point in the season.
Full TV coverage of the Knockhill rounds will again be shown on Motors TV.
A Test Day has been booked at Knockhill for Thursday, 10th March with an "open track" from 1pm to 5pm.
New Legends tyres are being introduced. Federal tyres are now the exclusive manufacturer replacing BF Goodrich. For this season, we will run BF Goodrich tyres except when a "wet" race is designated when we will switch to Federal tyres.
