Well done Scuffham!
Discussion
Well, another storming result for PHers in the dark! After Henry F's victory in the night race at Snetterton 2 weeks ago, Scuffham's gone and notched up a win in this weekend's event. Great stuff, well done Simon and to Chris 'Randy' Randall too. The PS3000 looked awesome; love the colour scheme BTW, shades of a Sid Taylor T70 
I thought you did especially well considering your headlights looked like they were powered by a pair of 40w bulbs! Oh, and Randy's Nissan was luurvly.
Another good showing from Henry and Pete in the 911, a pair of 6th place finishes giving 2 third-in-classes, interestingly sandwiched in the first race by TopCats racing's TVR Tuscan and Marcos Mantis. Warren was great entertainment in the Tiv again; long may it continue!
In Britsports, it was good to see Chris Setters back out again in the Jade. Last time I saw you, Chris, was at Brands in about May. Nice to see the car and you back out again; looked like a bit of a trying day from where I was standing. It didn't sound great and looked like it was smoking a bit?
Well done to all PHers involved in the EERC racing this season.
I will be watching and supporting the series again next season, how about you?
Pictures to follow.

...we'll have to have a whip around for some of Yvo's xenons for the next night race for them 
Thanks Gary!
considering by 1PM we were considering packing up and going home, it was way more than we expected.
somewhat a 'testing' weekend, first time out for the prosport, and we broke a steering arm, had a shave with the tyre wall, lost the clutch, broke the CV joint bolts, had a fuel leak onto the back tyres, lost a windscreen, radio packed up, then getting into a shit fight with the noise police we had just about had enough by lunch...
Guess it shows you can never give up as good times are only round the corner.
Thanks to all who came and said hello!

PS. headlights added to the to-do list!

Some lovely photos on your website. What makes you think the Dockerill / Greensall had engine problems !
Henry
Thanks Henry. I was chatting with Andy Allen after Iain's blow-up and he told me that they had just had the engine rebuilt along with their other GT3 (that wasn't racing at Brands). He also said that the motor definitely wasn't 'buzzed' prior to it letting go. Hmm, a word with the tuner is in order methinks...

holy crap just seen the pictures of the race with the radicals in all being dwarfed by an early 90's GTP!!!! that thing must have had the same power as the rest of the grid added together
great pictures trackside. you give me something to aim at
and well done to team scandel
That was Scuffham's team mate Chris Randall, who bought his IMSA Nissan out to play in the first Britsports race. I think he had a few problems with noise levels and didn't enter the second race. In the first he started from the back of the grid, had a spin at Graham Hill just as the safety car came out but the car seemed to be a bit of a handful on the tight indy circuit. Was great to see out on track, though!
That was me in the Nissan. Had a bit of a turbulent morning with it... was a nightmare getting through the static noise test which soaked up the whole morning and meant that I missed qually. Come the race I couldn't get any heat into the tyres so it was seriously tricky and I couldn't get anything resembling a time out of it. On Friday I was comfortably doing 43's with loads to come but the track must have been a couple of degrees warmer then. Unfortunately the noise scrutineer was being a right little Hitler and attempted to make me go through the static noise test again before the second race and we just didn't have the time to mess around jumping through hoops as the priority was getting the prosport out. Great shame for everyone that the car didn't run the second race and the blame lies solely on the shoulders of the noise scrutineer who managed to make a complete prat out of himself in front of my entire team and also a couple of journalists...
Well pleased with the result in the prosport though. I had only done a handful of laps in it before qually so was suprised and overjoyed to take pole (even though a cockup by the clark of the course meant that we started in second place on the grid) and getting the win just made my year. I can't wait for next year now as the car is a joy to drive.

Excellent pictures as ever, Trackside. Didn't make it to the race myself. Does anyone know what happened to the Falcon?
As far as I could tell (from Druids) it had a coming together with the Griffin 307 at Paddock Hill Bend in race 1 and then fell foul of the noise Nazis in race 2. Shame 'cos it sounded bloody awesome hammering along the start/finish straight in the evening. I couldn't belive that the Nick Padmore BMW got a rollicking too; I thought it was quite quiet, epecially compared to some of the others (O'Brien/Seldon's M3 for one).
Their solution seemed to be to ease off the gas as they went across the line each lap!
