Eight Clubs Silverstone 31.8.85
To quote from Autosport of 5 September 1985: "The annual 8 Clubs meeting harks back to pre-commercialised times and brings together shopping cars and fullrace versions in handicaps and scratch races. It is very much a day for the competitor rather than spectator, but for the serious racegoer it takes a lot of beating, where else will you see F750 cars doing battle with a howling Lancia Stratos?"
Amen, and what a pity that the 8 Clubs no longer graces the Silverstone calendar. Bob Pomeroy's Gold Leaf-liveried Lotus Elan was entered in a 7-lap scratch race but the opposition was too hot, and he failed to make the top six.
