Tom Does It Again!
June 12, 2005. Club President Tom Delaney drove a spirited race to a well deserved win at the Bentley Drivers Club Race Day at Silverstone.

Starting 11th on the grid, Tom maintained steady, or rather, startling progress to pass the entire field and finish first after seven laps.

It is perhaps worth mentioning that Tom's car was the very same Lea-Francis Hyper that beat the Bentleys in Kaye Don's hands in the 1928 Ulster TT (see below). As a sports commentator once somewhat inartfully, but perhaps aptly exclaimed, "It's deja vu all over again!"

Job Well Done!
