Well good luck to all tomorrow - particularly my mate Eric (go fast don't crash - I wish I could be there, but I am in sunny Baku instead, 38deg at the moment and I am away for a beer - I am 4 hours ahead of most of you, instead of a the usual few seconds behind wink

I hope the weather stays dry for you all and that you all have a fun safe day.

If you were wondering where I was.....I was on the start line with the wedge to make sure that you didn't cheat.

Cheers, Ian

Yes, another great day at Alford. Thanks to all the competitors who on the track, were single minded, but in the paddock were friendly, helpful and approachable.

The commentary again, was "interesting" smile. Do the English get it? We love it.

Thanks to everyone for a really enjoyable day. yes

I don't think with 4wd and the sheer grunt of your motor you needed much help John!

I love how, as you exit the corner furthest from the museum, your car spins up all four wheels.....!

Never been to a sprint before, was surprised how much fun it was, so stayed for 5 hours, of course the nice weather helped.

Saw 3 other TVRs... 390 Wedge, Griff, and a T350. The Griff sounded great, owned by greengriff400, don't know if the other 2 are PHer's though.

First class event in every way. Congrats to George Ritchie and co for all their efforts. Does anyone agree the star car of the show was the bike-engined mini pick-up?

I would say so, eing their first time an all. They both looked rather white and pale on their first runs, but then started to have fun!!
