Race winner Calum Brown was delighted to return to a course at Parkwood Springs he has fond memories of from his time at university.<\/p>\n

Brown said: \u201cI\u2019ve spent a lot of time on this track. Probably the last time I was on it was a couple of years ago so it\u2019s sort of a blast from the past to be back.”<\/p>\n
