A top quality year of SMRC racing came to a close on October the 21st with the first season of the "Race Plus" format of double headers at each event (three races as usual for Legends) proving to be a success. All the series fielded large grids in the rapidly cooling Autumn temperatures.

The first Classic Saloon And Sportscar race was all about Stan Bernard who would win by seven seconds from Al Fleming's Lotus Elan. Matthew Gordon completed the podium some way back, Willy Toye having initially run with the top four before a breakage on his car.

The second race saw Bernard work his way through the reversed grid and pull well away, Fleming taking longer and having to think about Gordon's Porsche not far behind him. Olly Ross came home only a couple of seconds behind the dueling pair.

The first of two Legends rounds saw the first heat dominated by Ben Mason who established an early lead which Dave Newsham ate into but could not close. Carol Brown held off pressure from Andrew Donald and Jason Ogg in the damp conditions to take the final step of the podium. The second heat saw early leader NEwsham pull off with mechanical maladies then Tony Caig and Brown went off track to allow Alisdair Gauld into the lead for a while, until Mason once again took the point. Gauld took a hugely impressive second with Gerard McCosh right with him, Rory Bryant and Mark Lees completing the top five. The final saw an easy win for Newsham who vanished into the distance from the front of the field, followed by Alistair Dow who managed to hold off Mason. Bryant finished a lonely fourth ahead of large numbers of fighting pairs.

The second round got off to a familiar start when compared to the final of the morning races, Newsham once again starting from the front and romping to victory ahead of MAson who had to fight through a lot of traffic. McCosh held off Brown to take the podium finish with Thorburn completing the top five. The second heat saw another win by Newsham but he needed to work for it, Mason having started at the front and Newsham in the midfield. After a battle he got by and held the lead to the flag with McCosh in third. A late move by Thorburn got him by Bryant for fourth. The final was by all accounts a classic affair with battles all the way from the front of the field to the back. By lap four Mason was leading with Newsham attached to his bumper and for six laps they didn't hold back, passing and re-passing all the way to the flag, Newsham just hanging on when it mattered to take a hat-trick of wins, though Mason would be crowned Champion. Brown, Thorburn, Ogg and McCosh were next up with Rory Bryant in seventh being crowned the Rookie Class Champion.

The two Scottish Saloon And Sportscar races once again went the way of Andrew Gallacher's all-powerful Ford Focus while he wrapped up the title, the first race being a benefit in which he finished six seconds ahead of Robert Pritchard's Caterham. Stuart Whyte made an appearance in his Seat Cupra Cup car to take third with David Headen fourth and Charlie Shaw surviving a close call with Colin Simpson's spinning Marcos to take the fifth place finish.

The second race had seen Gallacher with a commanding lead but following a slow-down to ensure his championship or a charge by Pritchard, the gap at the end was next to nothing. Headen's Caterham was next up followed by Shaw and Whyte.

The Scottish XR2s saw a lap chopped off the first of their two races, Iain Fraser's damaged car needing to be retreived from the middle of the road and the red flag flying. Up to that point it had been a well-behaved race, Charlie Cope taking an impressive victory three seconds ahead of the battling Graham Whitehill and Andrew Winchester. Fourth went to Scott Morrison with Gary Meikle re-appearing on the SMRC scene to beat Scott Fraser to fifth. The top ten was completed by two fighting pairs in Peter Cruickshank, Geraint Jones, Willie Davidson and Charlie Thornton.

The second race was again a well-behaved affair, all starters making it to the chequered flag. A good start by Whitehill saw him grab a lead he wasn't going to lose, though Cope and Winchester were right with him all the way - the trio covered by just over half a second at the end. Scott Fraser finished ten seconds further back, once again being crowned XR2 Champion while Cruickshank beat Morrison to fifth place.

The Smartycars.com Mini Cooper Cup started with a hard fought win for Ken Thirlwall who fought off soon-to-be Champion Paul Wilson for the victory. A long way back came a snarling pack of seven cars, Mark Dryden pulling out a little breathing space at the end with Vic Covey, Jordan Gronkowski and Ian Milton all glued together. The second race ended the season with controversy when a fantastic group battle was ended by John Barrie being turned around in front of the field, Thirlwall and Michael Rowan suffering massive impacts into the tyre wall in avoidance. With all drivers okay and the tyre barriers eventually fixed, the race restarted with Paul Wilson leading Mark Dryden. More controversy would follow as a little behind them a collison between Ian Milton and Finlay Crocker saw Milton head-first into the tyres and Crocker into the pits to retire. The unfortunate Glynn Geddie got swept up in the incident and was also eliminated. A techinical infringement would see Paul Wilson (already the Champion in any case) disqualified while the win went to Dryden. Covey took second with Alasdair McGowan in third. The only other classified finishers were Barrie and Milton who had taken the Newcomer's Cup.

The SMRC Formula Ford 1600 races were reasonably easy victories for Rory Butcher though in the first he was kept honest by Stuart Thorburn who caught him up after managing to escape the battle being raged between himself, Alan Kirkaldy and Graham Carroll over second. The final race of the season for the series was another win for Butcher, this time by a comfortable margin over the Class A Champion Carroll. Thorburn and Kirkaldy once again had a big battle while Alan Brunton won a big four car battle for fifth place. Angus Geddes finished twelfth to take the Class B Championship.
