Do you drive this TVR:


If so, you owe me some new underpants hehe Taking pictures/eyeing up my next shot when I hear the distinctive sound of gravel pinged off a car. A turned around expecting you to be just going into the gravel but oooh no. You were a LOT closer than that. This is what I got as I accidently caught the button whilst trying run hehe



Defiantly lived me up!

That'll be Mr Tim Davis trying desparately not to stop moving and get it home to win the championship! Thankfully he did although it looks like it nearly ended in tears!

cheers Dave
it was an epic race, and i thank you for not nudging me off every time i shut the door in the corners, it just isn't in me to drive round behaving myself, although i very nearly regreted it. at times i think there was only a fag paper between us but we never touched, excellent fun!

Matt, Good to see you getting in the swing of things at Oulton and becoming more involved. You have come on a lot since I first met you a couple of years ago when you used to pedal up from Weaverham on your push bike to watch the track days. Well done, and great photos!

Hi Matt,

I'm guessing from Archbishop Chant's comments and the shot above that it was you standing next to me at Lodge for the first TVR race.

I had the bucket hat on and the two large Nikons. I had forgotten to grab your number so couldnt call you. Nice shot by the way.

I got 'Jack' Davis after he made it through the gravel and started to dance on the grass. I was on the other side, inside the corner at Cascade. He is a mumpet, he was told drive Miss Daisy and nearly blew the championship. Great racing and great partying guys.

<LOL> Thats a true racer for you... I had the same thing in 06 I only needed something like 5th to take the class and the championship from Marc. Instead i fought with Marc for the lead, then got distracted by the sight of John Reid parked in the Gravel at the bottom of cascades, only to follow him through it !!!

I lost about 10 seconds to marc, and instead of cruising to second I put the hammer down and caught up. we almost collected each other at Lodge on the last lap!!! Poor Jamie couldnt watch and spent most of the race crouching behind the pit wall hehe
