The following are race reports for races held in the 2011 race season.

So the weather held dry for Donington last weekend, although it wasn't exactly warm...

The position change of the chicane didn't seem to make much difference, the times were about as expected and the track was in good shape.

We had a great entry of 33 that translated into 32 completing practice. As I thought a few didn't quite have enough time to get their cars ready, but a couple of late entries made up for this.

Practice wasn't kind to Mark Jones (broken cam) and Ian Gunton. Robyn Slater found himself without oil pressure as he left the assembly area for the race, so 29 took the start.

Leo Voyazides (Falcon) made a relaxed start from pole (but he was almost 3 seconds quicker than next up in practice) and Steve Shuttleworth, Mike Gardiner (both in Lotus Cortinas) and (briefly) Roger Godfrey (Cooper S) were into Redgate first.

Steve was a little hesitant on cold tyres out of Redgate and Mike sneaked into the lead. Over the next few laps the Mike, Steve and Leo duel pulled away at the front until on lap 3 Leo made his move, taking Mike and Steve in quick succession. Steve couldn't match the Falcon's pace but was now really in his stride, passing Mike and pulling away in his chase of Leo's Falcon. Mike, with a lack of grip, fell back towards Roger's Mini, but, harry as he might, Roger couldn't get close enough to make a pass realistic. Jimmy Fuller had a steady drive to fifth and Mike Smith brought his Cooper S home a fine sixth. It was great to see Mike back in good form after his illness. Tim Harber (Cooper S) and John Pugsley (Anglia) took the next places and were amongst a significant group of newcomers to the championship. This is great for the series' health and we welcome them all to the gang.

The Imps suffered from the retirements of Andy Jones and Colin Gunton so it was left to Steve Platts to take the class win in ninth overall, the last unlapped runner.

Chris Scragg (Jaguar Mk2) and Jeremy Cooke (Mustang) tussled over tenth and eleventh, as did Simon Benoy (Imp), Brian Webb (Anglia) and Colin McKay (Jaguar S type) for twelfth to fourteenth.

In fifteenth, Neil Brown (Lotus Cortina) took K5 honours from Jim Clark (what else could he drive! – Lotus Cortina) and Colin Kingsnorth (BMW).

David Heale's Imp took sixteenth and third in class, Simon Miller (Mustang) seventeenth and third in K1, Colin Flynn (Cooper S) at last found reliability (well done Colin!) and David brand took K6 in nineteenth (and had opposition for once – Paul Stanworth, who had to change a head gasket between practice and race, only to last a couple of laps. 10/10 for effort!)

The field was completed by Jim McKenzie's Imp and Keith Kenward's Jaguar S type.

So next up we've got an Easter double header at Cadwell Park. Only 28 can start so if you haven't got your entry in yet get filling in that form. It may look a bit daunting but Cadwell is so worth the effort.
