Next Saturday, June 11th, mid-morning onwards.

Top day out, all welcome, pay on the gate, parking in the infield area.

Bentley parade at 12 noon, basically if you turn up in a Bentley, then you and a few hundred others form up for a few parade laps, then the racing is all afternoon.

Loads of Bentleys of all types to see, lots of top vintage racing action.

A few PH'ers going, minimax is coming with me in BG.

Cool box with a few cold ones and a picnic is a good idea. If you are going to drop by e-mail me for my mobile number.

Left it as it is for the time being, the car drives fine, just a few dents (and comedy stickers now too, for Le Mans).

Having perused your panel beating skills again to refresh memory tonight, I think on reflection it looks actually quite good, a bit 'apre Le Man'
if you will

Got the regs and stuff through for the allcomers scratch race yesterday.

Seems to be 16 cars, of which lots are Morgan v8’s, a couple of Caterham’s including an r500 and an AC Cobra.

And me in the tintop! In fact I may be the only tin top! Could have a bit of a struggle!! Lol

Looking at times from my previous races and that event last year I think scraping into the top ten will be hard!!

Pete.

The Phantom Motors Turbo R racer is entered, despite being almost written off a few weeks back, they have rebuilt it.

I think you may do better than you expect.

I will be rooting for you

Apologies to Shaun Lynn for overtaking him on the grass on lap 1 tho! (Nice to talk to you by the way if your on here)

well happy with that. Beaten by 3 4.6litre morgans but in all honesty they are rapid, especially the first 2!
