AMOC Racing Scores To Be Settled at Snetterton

SnetImque.190751

Snetterton race circuit in Norfolk is preparing to host an end of season showdown this weekend Saturday 27 September for AMOC Racing’s final race meeting of 2014.

For the past six months, over one hundred and fifty competitors have battled hard across the broad programme of AMOC Racing events with one aim in mind: to be top of the leader board.  All eyes will be on the AMOC Intermarque Championship which goes down to the wire with the top four in the current standings split by a handful of points.  Ferrari 355 driver Wayne Marrs will aim to reaffirm his third place position in the standings by seeing off nearest rival; Stephen Atkinson in his Porsche 968, whilst current championship leader and Ferrari 355 ace, Tim Mogridge has only a one point advantage to Rob Hollyman’s Porsche 964.  The Aston Martin faithful will be willing on Peter Snowdon (Aston Martin DB4 Lightweight), Kevin Norville (Aston Martin GT4) and Chris Scragg (Aston Martin V8), as good scores from this group could give the marque overall victory. The race is the third in a programme of seven, which commences with a good dose of nostalgia in the AMOC ‘50s Sports Cars inc Vredestein Jaguar XK Challenge. Fred Wakeman will be aiming to thwart Darren McWhirter’s Lister Jaguar dominance in his stunning Cooper T38.

The Pre-War Team Challenge features Britain’s finest marques ; Patrick Blakeney–Edwards driving skills in his iconic Frazer Nash ‘Owlet’ saloon are not to be missed as he skates the nimble ‘chain ganger’ around the goliath Bentleys and Lagondas on a charge to victory.  Lady racers are flying the flag in the “Equipe”GTS race with daughter of the legendary Jack Sears, Suzanne Sears, out in her MGB alongside the next generation of the Reed family Aston Martin racers with daughter Hannah making her track debut. There will be nearly two hours of action from the 1950s and 60s Touring Cars of the HRDC (Historic Racing Drivers Club) who have their penultimate ‘Allstars’ and ‘Touring Greats’ races of the season. The programme concludes with the final thrash of the year for the ‘Innes Ireland Cup’ for Pre ’66 GT and Touring Cars.
