Unusually for HRS, we were to have a rolling start due to the large grid size of 58 starters. The initial laps saw Davison, Plant and Kivlochan take an early lead, pulling a reasonably comfortable gap ahead of Julian Barter who lead 70s in his Elan. However, a popped plug lead on the blue Morgan of Kivlochan severely impacted his lap times and KeKi was soon passed by Barter and Jonathan Edwards in his Plus 8.

  • From Fifty to Eighty
    FROM FIFTY TO EIGHTY Harrow Enters the Twenty-First Century By Les Needham—Club President www.harrowcarclub.net 8 Clubs 1994 Photos by Dennis Crome 2 The Story So Far The Harrow Car Club was founded at Kynaston Court Club House, Har- row Weald on 9th January 1934, initially as the Kynaston Car Club, but on the 18th March the name was changed to the Harrow Car Club. One of the Founders was F.J.Coyne, and Joe subsequently went on to be Chairman, Treasurer and eventually President of the Club. Sadly he died just prior to the Club reaching it’s fiftieth birthday in 1984. The first competitive event run by the Club was a Driving Test (Auto- Test) for 10 cars, and it is interesting to note that Driving Tests are the only form of competitive motorsport that have continued throughout the Club’s history. In the years up to 1939, and the war, the Club ran a full programme of events, including Treasure Hunts and mud plugging Relia- bility Trials. The latter were very popular pre - war and the Club regularly entered a team of cars in other club’s events. During 1939 four trials were planned, for the CLJ Trophy, Moss Trophy, Cullen Cup and Cotting- ham Trophy. An Aggregate award was instituted early on, and the points to be awarded for different activities seem to have caused controversy throughout the next eighty years! The first Annual Dinner and Dance was held at the Barn in 1934 – cost 5 shillings and sixpence a head (about 25p).
