Hi Guys,
Had a great time at Silverstone this weekend i got there Thursday lunchtime and got back home 10.00pm last night. We went as part of UK Street Machines and were involved with the drag racing side of the sport with support from Santa Pod. The weather was perfect if a little hot.
Unfortunately what would have been a perfect weekend was marred late Sunday afternoon by an accident that resulted in the death of Denis Welch during one of the pre 1966 races.
Silverstone put this statement out.
It is with great regret that the organisers of the Silverstone Classic have to report that, following an accident in a race for HGPCA pre-66 Grand Prix Cars today, Sunday 27th July, the driver of car number 19, Denis Welch, succumbed to his injuries later in the circuit’s Medical Centre.
The event organisers, the race organisation, and the circuit’s medical and emergency services, will all now be co-operating with the Police and the MSA, the UK official motor sport governing body, to conduct a full investigation.
All those involved in the event offer sincere condolences to family and the friends of Denis Welch at this very sad time.
Cheers.
Russ.
