It is with great sadness that we announce that Craig Russell, one of our Gurston Down regulars, passed away peacefully at home on Saturday the 2nd of September 2023.
Craig regularly campaigned his Westfield XTR in the Sports Libre up to 1400cc Class including earlier this year at Gurston Down and in June, joined other Gurston regulars at Saint Goueno Hillclimb in France. He loved our sport and was a great ambassador for Gurston Down.
Our sincere condolences to his wife Helen and the rest of his family and friends.
We will miss him, Rest in Peace.

The Turbo Dynamics Gurston Down Championship Results after the July Meetings have been released.
The Overall Championship is being led by Richard Morton in the Mazda Roadter on 262.91 points with Russel Davies second on 260.89 points and Chris Birch, third, on 256.32 points.
There is very little in the overall championship with the top twelve drivers actually having a mathematical chance of winning. Particularly as the Sunday of the August meeting is double points.
