At present it looks like there will be more TVRs spectating than competing - that makes a change. Well done to all that hope to attend, should be a great day. Over 30 expected!

LOL with business cards I see.

Around 44 TVR's in the car park - club parking had room for 15 so we were a little spaced out around the place. A great turnout and blimey wasn't that Tuscan racer quick.

A great effort from the drivers which was appreciated from all the spectators.

Pics later when I've gone through them all

Wasnt expecting to see so many trev's, I ran out of cards in the end.

I shall bring more to the TVRCC speed championship in Oct at castle Coombe LOL. Will hand them out in person though and have a good old chin wag all things trev.

We thoroughly enjoyed the day.

Never been to Prescott before, but what a wonderful venue and set-up. We'll definitely be going again.

Excellent day's racing. It was great to see so many TVR's not just on the track but in the car park. When walking around the course there was a buzz of excitement as the TVR's took to the hill - every last one attacked the hill ...and yes, that Tuscan racer went like a rocket.

Hats off to everyone who went.

eta. Zumbruk, do you get along to the Herts & Beds meetings?

Yep a great day, good weather, good cars, and good beer

If you fancy a go up the hill look here

Took my son, roof off from Fulham at 07.30, what a fantastic drive, through the Cotswold's back roads. Even with the Thames valley fog at the start. Fantastic day, great weather, I hadn't been to Prescott since the sixties, what a mistake on my part. Will certainly be back next year for more meetings. If only to see my son's expression in the Buggati centre on site. Gobsmacked doesn't cover it. As for the Hill, just outstanding setting and drivers.

From time to time, yes. Sadly, they quite often clash with sprints. I think the next one is the 19th October, which is the day after Castle Coombe, but since I'm not doing that one, I'll try and get along. Always assuming it isn't slashing down with rain...

It was a great day out, though. Prescott is one of my favourite venues when the sun shines. My heart sank as we arrived (at 07:30) since it was cold, dank and foggy, but the weather picked up through the day, after a 1 hour delay to allow the fog to clear. I had a moment's panic as I was eating my fry-up in the restaurant as I spotted a white wedge with numbers on it apparently on the hill, but then realised it was the huge convoy of spectators arriving! Thanks for coming, guys, it was great to see you.

I hope you all noticed Pete Watson's Griff gracing the front cover of the programme! There's a "cockpit eye" view of what it's like to drive the hill at speed from Adrian's Griff 520 here;

Although I noticed that one or two of the convoy runners should have numbers on and been in the paddock rather than the car park!!!!

The next event is Debden Airfield in Essex on the 5th October. (http://www.hertscountyaac.co.uk/) Debden is, how shall I say, a little more downmarket than Prescott but we have 13 entrants. Again, spectators are most welcome. Please come and say hello.

Now I was trying to work out who you are. Then saw a piccie in your profile, which must have been Prescott last year.

So this is you this year - job done.
