Thundersaloons, Zandvoort GP 21/5/1989

This was the BRSCC Meeting held on the GP Circuit, which was nearly stopped by the mayor because the locals, in there new housing estate built right next to the track thought the Thundersaloons too noisy!!!
Was a great weekend though, sunshine, across the road from the beach, relaxed atmosphere, if Carlesberg did race meetings.......
