Star of Midlands Formula Ford 1600

What's the Walter Hayes thing, I've not heard of that ?
Formula Fords are certainly interesting in the wet. It's not so bad if the race starts wet and there is a chance to set the car up properly, but if the race starts dry and then becomes wet it can be difficult. A few years ago (on my second ever race !) at Anglesey it started in glorious sunshine and ended in a thunder storm which was very entertaining. I would guess that less than 50% of the starting grid avoided coming off. I managed to stay on until the second last lap and thought I was in with a good chance of a high placing by being one of the only ones left, but then spun at the end of the pit straight and couldn't restart. Bummer.
