WRAP UP & WINNERS ARE GRINNERS PARADE

First of all I congratulate all the racers who came to this meet and made it so good.

Not all trophy winners are here as some of them had to get away before the presentations were made.

Ha Ha - make that 2024 Caine.

The closeness of the racing was superb with podiums (1st to 3rd) being split by 1 lap for: - Historic 124, CanAm Retro and Plafit GT3. Ken buggered it up for Flexi Sedan by beating Noel and Cody (both on the same lap) by a whooping 5 laps!
I guess that one goes back in the fridge Ken?

Awesome work, thanks Fox. For those that don't know Fox keeps all of Seagulls Big race events on
ASCRA so we always have a reference point. Congratulations to all the entrants
and thank you for your support of Seagulls events.
