A very cool weekend racing. Patrick Morris winning the “Keith Driver Trophy” makes it three Generations of the Morris family winning. Firstly Les Morris in 1984 with “The General”, then I won it a few times from 2001 in “Southern Storm” then in “Desert Storm”,now Patrick in “Taylor Made”. A very proud moment from the family.
