Victory on last Sunday's Jimmy Devane Memorial Grass Surface Autocross made the long trip from Clane to Aghadoe worthwhile for Ian Byrne. The Nissan Turbo Special driver set a stunning pace on his first timed run, almost five seconds ahead of his pursuers. While he failed to finish his second run, Byrne was able to sit out his third run safe in the knowledge that his FTD of 1:31:78 would not be beaten on a slowing track. Second place was claimed by Clareman Padraig Egan in jis JB Buggy with Tipp man William Cavanagh third in a Honda Special. The Best saloon award was claimed by Damien Doolan in a Vauxhall Nova.
The Jimmy Devane Memorial Autocross was counting round four of the O'Shea Bus Hire Munster Autocross Championship.Padraig Egan from Clare has extended his lead over Kerryman Tom Daly with the Deane brotheres from Galway tied on third. There is another tie for fifth place between Tipp's Whitby Moynan and Brian O' Mahoney from Cork.
