30th April 1978 - Special Saloons - Donington

A silent cine film covering a round of the Wendy Wools Special Saloon Car Championship.
As you can see the weather was horrible, rain and mist making the green track very slippery.
Graham Goode started from pole but had a quick spin, he did get back up to 3rd though.
Tony Dickinson won in his Skoda from Derek Walker in his Escort, Peter Baldwin won the 1300 class in his Mini clubman BDA from Alan Humberstone in his Imp BDA. My Brother Dave Carvell having his first race in his new Maguire Mini, having to use slicks in the wet as we didn't have any wets at this stage in the season ! he inevitably went "gardening" but came back to 3rd in class with no damage.
Others of interest were Tim Reade having a run in the Alastair Lyall Escort and Martin Pearson and Pete Candy driving the two Janspeed Datsun's
