Anyone here going? I'll be competing in my second ever race in the Monposto 12/16/1800 race in a Formula Vauxhall Junior - No 61. If you're there - come & say hello.

The meeting promises to be a real full house - over 300 entries from FF1600 to 70's saloons. I just hope the forecasters get it wrong - rain I don't need..

Both Accuweather and Metcheck say it's going to rain - but if your forecast says otherwise - i'll take it! I'm always a bit sceptical of the online forecasts - normally wait 'till the day top see what happens.

What number are you - i'll try to come & say hi?

I am there and praying for rain.
I did the whole race in 3rd last year.
and still caught and passed the 2 best xr2's this year with a good box??????
who knows
fancy a book on how much you will beat me by stock hatcher??

with your car against my old thing, half a lap should be reasonable??
less than that and you owe me a pint!

And a couple of others I took:



Was a good day

You didn't happen to get any of me did you? Number 41 in Monoposto 2000, red Reynard 883. First ever race, didn't finish last (or spin once!)...

Weather was 'interesting'. Certainly made the learning curve quite steep!

I got pulled in! Black flagged and lost loads of positions because of it

We are going to get a new fuel tank for the next race! And the car is going for a rolling road session too!

Im not going to roll over and give them Ferrari's an easy time! They need dropping down a peg or 3!

Your car really doesn't like fluids does it!
and it wasn't me this time that reported you!!

And I refrained from saying how good your car looked, the other 3 I did all lost wheels!
