Abingdon CAR-nival Sprint, June 2006 |
|
In classes 4 and 5, it was the first outing with an upgraded engine for David Skeggs' silver Lotus Elise (yes, it's quicker), Carl Streatfield drove his more standard yellow Elise, and Ian Hardy his Sylva Leader. 

In Class 6, engine problems unfortunately sidelined the smart Mini of Andrew and Jamie Butcher. 
Class 7 was led home by FDMC members Karl Stevens (Escort) and Brian Stevens (Mazda RX7), taking first and second place.
Andrew Smith and his Elan took 5th in class on their first visit to Abingdon, followed by Tony Meadows and his Astra 2 litre GTE .
In classes 8 and 9, FDMC was represented by Steven Woods, with his Sierra XR4i, and three drivers who have built their own Sylva kit cars: Nick Orme (the orange one), Paul Wise (the 'mint green' one), and David Penn, whose green and yellow car got a Fireblade engine transplant for this season
