The 60th Anniversary meeting at Snetterton on 12th and 13th May has been nominated as the 2018 Ray Dackombe Memorial Trophy Meeting.
Ray Dackombe very sadly died in 2008. He was a longstanding and key Member of the Club. His abilities as Paddock Coordinator on Race Days contributed in many ways to the Club’s success, and to everyone’s enjoyment of the racing. After his death a trophy was donated in his memory and a race is nominated each year to be the Memorial race where the trophy is contested.
The Ray Dackombe Memorial Trophy is awarded for performance on track. The criteria is standard “class” points which are awarded for both qualifying and race positions, plus a point for fastest lap in class. Points will be added up for each Monoposto class and the driver with the most points will be awarded the Trophy. Ties will be decided in favour of class wins/poles and if still tied, awarded to the leading point scorer of the largest class.
This is one of the most prestigious Trophies awarded by the Club and with such a large entry for Snetterton, competition is going to be intense. In addition to the trophy, a prize has been donated by Ewen Sergison which will be presented to the winner. The prize is the ‘Monoposto Formula’ book, which has just been released and details the history of Monoposto from 1958 to 1976.
