The Spirit of the Sprint is awarded to a member who spent most of last night staying up till the early hours of the morning of the event fitting another gear box after his failed at the last moment - Jim Wootton-Thomas in his Fiat Panda.

As a small boy I never missed an Easter Monday here at the track, watching with my Grandfather at his little caravan down by the chicane.
