Barry Sidery Smith One Hour memorial race:

Adam Cunnington compromizing his apex and letting the 15 sec/lap quicker RAM Cobra through. Phil James & Cheng Lim won the race.


Henderson always in a TR6.


Adam Cunnington and his typical 'light' right frontwheel action.

Fabulous pictures as always!

That duel between Alex (RX7) and the Blakes (911 RSR) in the Spa One Hour was amazing, the most exciting race for us on the wall for sure. The Blakes climbed from the back of the grid (track limits penalty in quali) and we (Mazda) were plagued with a turbo lacking some serious boost. They were neck to neck lap after lap from the Blake pitstop until on the last lap when Alex got stuck behind a backmarker going up Eau Rouge, which meant he wasn't able to draft after the Porsche as he had on the previous laps (necessary with the Mazda being so poorly).

Aston Blake was meant to be driving our Mustang in the 3 Hours with Alex and Trevor but sadly the engine decided to die on Thursday during practice..

I heard about the Mustang but we will see it running in September and grab a pint.

Dink,
no pics of the Grantura #51 or 3000M #12?
thanks

[dinkel]

I need to look. But then - since I'm a journo for 4 mags - I shoot quite a bit and time isn't always there! #trying

[intermediate]

thanks

Or the Yellow/Blue 993 RSR number 9 Modern Classics, I could see you leaning over the wall at La Source each time I went by !

Haha. I was on the wall only at Barries Race. Brits pulled me in for tea the rest of the time

Who'd ever expect to see a Toyota MR2 at La Source?


Beemer's first attempt to produce something that could beat a Cortina.

[dinkel]

The Porsche 911S 2.7 in my eye is the best looking 911.


This is a very well presented example in an excellent colour.


Sensational Alfa Romeo Berlina in red.


Missus Dinkel shows the desired parking card.
