Planning to pop up there and spectate, but has anyone got some more details? Managed to get the "what's on which day" from the 750mc site, but does anyone have any more info about who's racing when?

I'm racing on Sunday, and will be in the paddock for most of Saturday too. Look out for orange Westfield no. 99, just in front of the big shower/toilet block in the lower paddock!

Feel free to drop by and say hi!

Did you enjoy it??

I had to leave early (just after the Austin 7 race) but i hasd a great time. Very good racing.

Shame about the bad smash, though. I hope they are both alright. I was at Paddock Hill bend, and it seemed to me as if one car turned into the other car, pushing him, into the barriers.

How did you do in the race??

I had a great time! First time I'd driven the car in 18 months, and qualified 16th out of 29. Bit too cautious on the start which saw me lose a load of places, but then had a great dice with 4 other guys and won back a couple of places to finish 18th! Not a great result, but I had fun and got the car back in one piece!

I heard that the two Hot Hatch drivers were fine, although the passenger door on one was pushed half-way into the cabin, even with a side impact bar fitted. Very, very lucky he didn't get hit on the drivers side... It took them almost an hour to repair the barrier too!

Ed, I did drop by on Saturday before the Stock Hatch races but you were obviously off in some expensive restaurant somewhere?
Got loads of info and everyone seemed friendly, should be up and racing in about six weeks.
See you soon

Ha ha! I wish - I was probably queuing up for one of the over-priced, dodgy burgers they sell there though!

Nice to meet you on Saturday Ed, good result too after 18 months off. My head seems to be in 10 different places on race days so sorry if I babbled on a bit (my g/f reckons I talk like an idiot on race days).

I only managed second last in the final on Saturday thanks to a spin out of Graham Hill bend
Still bloody good fun though....

Yep - good to meet you as well Mark. I'm just the same on race days too - I can't concentrate on anything!

As a mere spectator, I can only applaud you guys for giving me and my 4 year old lad such enjoyment on Sunday - I even forked out for the Octagon season pass on the back of the quality of the racing and the general atmosphere.

(I did laght though, at the Austin 7 driver who spun at Druids, kept on the tarmac only to drive into the gravel in his attempt to re-join the race. Sorry if you're reading this.... but it was funny!!)

Keep it up guys!
