The Sun Shone

Saturday: Weather was superb, atmosphere great, the Air Displays were breath-taking. (Hairs on back of neck erect, tears in eyes)

The event should run for a week to let you take everything in!

Was a bit diddled as the lightweight Jags/Astons didn't race, just practiced.

Lavant is always my favourite vantage point, but today we headed back to the busier section for lunch. Who ever thought placing flags in front of the big screen was a good idea!!!



The races were a bit more gentle than in certain previous years, but hey that's motor sport.

Overall: great day out, I could easily spend all day just in the car park!

That guy had no respect for the marshalls, or indeed the public at large. (Probably not as scary though as the side pipe coming off the Cobra )

I was in the pits and am sure he passed three times in trouble.

Give Andy Newell the benefit of doubt, until you hear his version of events.

That's pretty hard to do given the distance he drove with something so obviously wrong. He was a potential serious menace to other drivers, the public & especially the marshalls. (as was the Cobra that didn't come in with swinging exhaust!)

Car was wobbling like a truck with rear steer!!!!

TBH it doesn't really matter how many laps it was. The simple truth is he endangered others trying to get to the chequer.
