Back on topic, looks like being a great day, weather permitting - I did hear snow is forecast wink.

I'm down for giving charity rides but it may have to be in Fritz.

Hopefully that's on the Monday Rob... don't think you'll be popular with the marshalls if you set off round the track on the Sunday morning... smile

I'll be doing some laps, it's a great event. Re Goodwood and alike, I don't do 'parking in fields' events any more. Generally the same cars with few facilities and overpriced food with nothing happening!

Yep, were you in the red Noble? I was already losing the will to live by then!

That might've been me - I waved at a silver one on my way out; could not believe how long that queue was... Must've taken you ages from where I saw you.

Good luck with that Simon - hope you get lots of interest.

Sadly the weather forecast for both days is not looking good.

Absolutely!!

And for others that have read the forums reference the abomination that was Supercar Sunday it was all down to coincidence, weather, circumstance and some emails.
Unlikely that it will happen again in the near future - unless it rains heavily........
like tomorrow........

Only joking.
