Harrison Morrow headed to Norfolk and The Snetterton 200 Layout for the next two races of the Geoff
Page Super Classic Pre '99 Formula Ford 1600 Championship . The single seaters the support act to the 24hour BRSCC 2CV race and a SuperSport Endurance race.
Friday practice goal was really to get H used to the track as while he had raced the much longer 300 track, he had no experience of the shorter 200.
As ever the Shaws Motorsport Reynard was spot on and ready to go. H happy with his first session, although a cracked brake disc following the track action was not part of the plan. Hazel and Sara headed to get spares, and H was given the opportunity to test the RF81. He really enjoyed the car and set some good solid times. But it was back to work on the Reynard for the afternoon sessions. Finding more and more time as the day went on.
H was still looking at data and onboard as we left him for the hotel, H focused on getting the very most from himself.
Race day and the weather looked a bit more unsettled.
TQ was on a very fast drying Damp track and H pushed hard from the off, trading fastest times with Alex Ames all through the session. H pulling out a fantastic Pole lap on his last lap.
Pole secured H focused on getting a good start, He did, but Alex Ames got a cracking start and so the race 1 pattern was set, H pushing Alex hard round the track, the pair of them separated by less than 2 tenths and pulling a big gap on 3rd place held by Tom Hawkins. A couple of laps from the end, Alex had a mechanical issue and fell back, H took immediate advantage and secured the win by 4secs. Winning the Henry Rilett Trophy and also setting the fastest lap too.
Race 2 followed and H was fired up, yet again Alex got the Jump, and H had to settle for 2nd. Now there was pressure from Leon Frost in 3rd on the top two, but as their pace increased, Leon fell back, having had the best of his tyres early on. H swopped past Alex on one lap, only for Alex to do that back to him the Next. H went outside / inside, Alex used a cunning head and his pace to hold H back. Mindful of the championship, H refused to look at too higher risk moves and kept the pressure on right to the end, but Alex would not be denied his win. The two finishing some 7 seconds up the road.
In terms of the championship, as Alex was a guest driver and did not score points, it meant that H carried a clean sweep of results from the weekend. The impact of this was compounded by the fact that the incumbent double champion Tom sadly retired in race 2. H is now very close to becoming the Overall champion. A National championship was beyond our dreams this year, yet H has put himself right in the frame.
This was a performance by H that really did put a marker down. He used his head, listened to the team and Dave and delivered out on track. the maturity he is now showing is really impressive and I feel a testament to all the time H has spent with older racers, listening and taking heed of their advice.
