Those awesome smoky burnout's from the nascars this year (fos), the late great Richard Burns . Hamilton when he was champion.

Ray Hanna's private displays (no rules here) at the cricket match - flying BETWEEN the trees, and buzzing the crowd at 25' (as in, you are literally underneath the plane).

Mike Fowler spins out of the Chicane, disappearing backwards in a cloud of tyre smoke down the escape road, narrowly missing the Aston ambulance and heading for the main entrance and Chichester Road. Rejoining the track he graciously waves like the Queen to a pit wall full of applauding mechanics.

Another driver explaining post-race his "small spin" at St Mary's, until his son points out it was on the DiamondScreen and gives us a point-by-point description of his 720...

Same person, now in suit and fedora, is riding a VAP (a wartime upright bicycle with a 5cc engine attached). Due to a slight marshal confusion he is released back into the Paddock with the bikers after practice, Barry Sheene on one side, Wayne Gardner the other.

1. Ray Hanna making me hit the floor in 1998. I was standing at the chicane marshal's post and looking the wrong way....

2. St Mary's 1999(?) race in the rain, and Jags all over the place.

3. John Surtees qually lap in the Piper Ferrari. Was a fantastic moment.

Brundles overtaking manouvre into Madgwick in the lightweight E type Jag at the 08 Revival , total commitment in a machine that would take its toll if it all went wrong , Marty could carry so much more speed out of that corner it was fearless and showed everyone the difference between an ex GP driver and a club racer , stunning.

I was most unfortunate to miss the first couple of Revival Meetings so didn't see Ray Hanna's amazing antics. My favourite moments were: The antics of Dr JP in the 6 wheel Williams FW08 1994/1995; Nick Heidfeld's 1999 record-breaking run at the FoS. Last year's TT race throughout was majestic with 330LMB, 250GTO '64, Cobra, Lister Coupe, Daytona Cobra and Lightweight E-Type to the fore; Dayton vs. Rahal in the battle of the Brabham BT11s a couple of years ago and also Jamie McIntyre's astounding Sussex trophy move out of Madgwick towards the corner with no name also last year - Hales and Williams in one overtake. Very special.

For me -

First ever FOS when I was a little boy watching my dads expression on his face when the BRM V16 left the start finish line - what a noise. (grown men were actually whopping and jumping with excitment)

Nick heidfelds record in the pouring rain as he came past the speed trap at over 120mph

The first time I ever heard a Honda RC166 6 cyclinder motor bike - again a noise that can't be described like the devil himself has being turned into a motor cycle engine! Even the Ferrari F1 mechanics rushed over to see what little machine could make such a din!

The speed of Rod milans Toyota Tacoma Pikes peak rally car as it came past the speed trap in a sort of side ways flame spitting tyre spinning cacophany!

Revival - Surtees drive in the David Piper 330 Ferrari, leading by a mile - shows that a real champion never losses his style and speed

Finally the great Barry Sheen at the Revival, just when you thought he'd never win, he just realed them in and came accross the start finish line 1st with his helmet off riding no hands - what a legend!

[Syndrome]

The Ferrari Fxx being started up and warmed up by the Ferrari techs at the FOS 2006. It was as loud if not louder than the F1 cars around it.

Another vote for this monster, Rod Millen's Pikes Peak Tacoma. 850bhp, weighs less than a tonne, this automotive explosive device is pretty much the most spectacular thing I've ever seen driven up the hill at FoS. The acceleration out of corners was just astonishing, the car squirming around on the limit, partly on the grass, black rich mixture smoke, flames, bangs, engine noise, heat haze, blur, gone! It was fantastic.

EDIT: Here's a clip of the certifiable Kiwi lunatic wrestling the Tacoma up Lord March's drive:
