Still a new class lap record and only 1/2 sec / lap off the 450bhp Griff!

Good skills - spin into Druids! Yep it was had - but I had done it to him the lap b4, he is a hard Bastard but fair. Usually always wins. Think the Blue TVR was a wake up (annoys me that someone can just rock up and get that car and blizt everyone just on grunt) - shit on the striaght it made even that 370bhp RV8 look slow and he normally can duff up all comer (including Gerry Marshall!), fast in a 4 cyl MGB and MGA (Griff quick round Thrux!).

Roll on Donnington next weekend. What series is that? And how doe you get that moving pic into the thread?

Cool wide on the entry - if no one close behind and rid the curn HARD on the exist to stop running out wide. But if a busy field almost impossible to take that line!

It is a bigger to get sound if camera is in the airstream! Maybe better on the 6 if behind a screen.

Hope it is fixed for the Thoroughbreds for that meeting.

yep JUST LIKE THAT - only slower - me being the car hit side on but not stationary - I was crossing the track after going off on grass and the fool that could easily have not hit me (could see what was happeneing and trhet ai would fly across track infront of him - had 400m to think!) just did not slow down, brake, do anything - a Complete Cretin.

Will miss next at Snett in 2 weeks but be at Brands (again - I love the place - just so bloody expensive per lap / race distance compared to other places) - will try to win the TR class next time (for that is what the class C now seems to be - we have scared off the Healy 3000's - no chance!)

Purple - Pity I had to go see the clerk of the course when chatting! (Was gonn take you for a spin) - he claimed I overtook car 45 under yellow in pratice (45 is a mate and chatted to him and said I never came past him in practice!).

Here you go.

Have the whole thing on film - but dead fly on lense from 1/3 in - but have above an the MGB that was close to me (soon) vid to morph in to one long movie. Was a Top race - should have beat the Moragn but shit start and had to get past he TR6 (even though he had a penalty for a monster jump start).

See ya again.
