Wimbledon, Banger World Final 11/11/01

Another year another World Final at Wimbledon. Over 100 cars in attendance with 39 having gained qualification to the final. The other 60 or so cars competed in two last chance qualifiers which gave winners 732, Mark Bryant and 245, Jack France qualification to the final. As usual some of the paint jobs were brilliant even if the choice of machinery was fairly mundane.
The final was won by Willie Skoyles (41) at the 16th succesive attempt, the place men were Mark Smith (416) and Mark Welland (264). The first visitor home was Shane Brown (120) in 4th.

Thanks to Tim & Alex Catley for the photos and words, also to Chris Jones for the results and great report from this meeting which can be viewed on my Race Reports page.
