Not many spectators but interesting races on this September weekend.

Group 1 under 1300 cc
Cees van Dongen had found the speed to be competitive with the Simca’s - he was sixth one stage, but retired with a puncture. Zwaanenburg and Prins fought for the victory - Zwaanenburg was first over the line, but after the race it was found that his car had 1310 cc - a little too much, so he was disqualified. Klaarmond, third on the road, rejected technical inspection and was subsequently disqualified as well; finally Lammers’ exhaust was modified (beautifully turned out, really) so he was disqualified too.

Group 1 over 1300 cc
Slotemaker had removed the rear spoiler of the Camaro, to gain a little top speed; Frankenhout had a brand new car to replace the damaged shell of the tragic accident of Boshuis at Spa. In practice, Frankenhout had been slower, but in the race he was competitive - but he was beaten on the line by the Camaro. Behind them, the usual fights took place, like between Kanters, Houthuyzen, van Oostrum and Elmers, but Maassen in the Avenger beat them all and won. Nijsten and Rosman enjoyed a fight too, until Rosman had to slow down.

Group 2 and 4
Both Tjan in the 240Z and Antonides in the Cherry could not start; Vermeulen and Kluit had a fight in the race, where Kluit lost time in a spin. Deen was overjoyed with second place. Van Oorschot won the 1300 class, Loek Vermeulen the 1150 class; and the plan of Kok and de Jong to change cars did not take place. However, de Jong was as fast as Kok until he broke a half shaft.
