61 Years ago, 2nd May 1965, we witnessed a champions final victory.
An improved track surface automatically resulted in better racing at this meeting, which was highlighted by Jeff Freeman's brilliant record- braking drive to take out the 15-lap speedcar Feature Race.

The field was away to a good start, with Laurie Seidl leading early from Don Hunt and Wal Brooker. Lew Marshall was quickly up to second spot but Freeman was mowing them down at a rapid rate and on lap 5 blasted around Marshall at the pits and under Seidl in the main straight to lead. Marshall moved to second and Len Brock to third when he moved under Brooker on lap 10.

The finish saw Freeman a 100 yards clear of Marshall with 80 to Brock, followed by Brooker, Middlemass, Park, Seidl, Staples Oram, Bowland. Jeff Freeman's time took 6.6 seconds of Peter Bowlands existing record.
