HSCC - Cadwell - 19 April 2009
The provisional entry list is looking good:-
http://www.hscc.org.uk/resources/Cad...try%20List.pdf I'm going, and I can see quite a few Ten-Tenthers in the entry list. I believe Marcus P is commentating, and subject to an acceptable quality of pics emerging from my camera, I will, of course, put a few up here. |

Was going to be at Donington, but I'm heading to this one instead, watching a friend race in the Formula Juniors. Looks like an interesting day of racing! I'm going to take a camera too, not been to Cadwell for around 3 years but I'm guessing there are still plenty of decent photo spots for us amateurs

Its encouraging to see the grids look healthy, and that theres new cars/entrants again in HRSR
not sure what happened to all the championship hunting Anglias ? hopefully the Anglias will make Snetterton and I'll get a decent race again I'd love to have gone to this as Cadwell is great, but its a long way for us for such a short squirt |

I'm pleased to say that the response to the call for Marshals has been responded to well.
I hope all concerned have a good day's racing. Stay safe. |

Lovely meeting in a great setting, with good weather (although that wind was bit chilly). Some very good racing augmented with commentary by Ian Titchmarsh and Marcus Pye, it could hardly get better. Except for me; I could have done without dropping my camera and damaging my long lens. However, my photography for the day was saved by the generosity of Glenn Summerbell who lent me a much more valuable lens to attach to my camera body. My thanks to Glenn, who I first met at Silverstone 3 or so years ago, and who has since become my adviser on all things photographic. I probably wouldn't have been able to provide any racing pics for this meeting but for him so, I'm going to plug his site, here:-
http://2004.ukmotorsportpics.com/ It was great to meet up with old friends (you know who you are!) plus meet a few new ones. Finally got to meet Colin McKay and his S type Jaguar, and I was also introduced to Frank Lyons and Chris Alford, but was sorry not to catch up with Morninggents and Delta (were you actually there, Iain?). Below a few Pit & Paddock shots. The race pictorial review maybe slow, however, as I actually have a pretty busy week ahead. |

Zef, that's Brian Webb's Anglia; another was entered, by Andrew Law but didn't apear. Dan Cox won the saloon car race, going away in his LC, and although enjoying his victory, was disappointed at the lack of competition and that a number of the usual competitors weren't there.
I agree about the FJs. Those early front engined cars are really growing on me. |

I want an FJ, it'll have to be Long wheel base though!
I hope, and I'm sure Dan will get more competition as the season goes on, but its not easy as he has a very quick car and he's one of the best tin top drivers out there. |

Thats grim indeed Iain, so scumbags exist even in HSCC circles. I was thinking as I walked the Paddock how good it was that lots of the caravans/motorhomes etc were open, and left unattended, owners trusting their fellow competitors/colleagues honesty. I must have been thinking about poor Bruce Fullertons thefts reported last week.

Pics I took here: http://s3.photobucket.com/albums/y96...0Cadwell%2009/
Great weather, close racing and good friends made the day. Though, some of the standards were a little....I don't know, ''rude''? I don't know what caused the damage to the left side of Brian Webb's Anglia, but he was run off the road and ended up in the armco on the top of the Mountain after getting a good run up the hill. Also, similar circumstances involving a Mini and an Imp, thankfully there was no contact and both could continue. Neil Fowler and Alan Harper's comeback drives through the field in their races were major highlights! |

Brian did some testing at Cadwell on the Friday and had a little off at the hairpin - he'd not raced at the circuit before. Luckily the damage to the right side at the top of the mountain wasn't as bad as the left side damage.
I thnk the car was John Bygrave's blue and white car from the mid-nineties that went to Ralph Stevenson then was laid up for a while. It was then sold at auction (Silverstone?) 4 or 5 years back and purchased by Roland Stoate who changed the colour to orange and raced it a few times before it was laid up again. Nice colour and takes me back to Chris Craft's saloon days. |

Think we may have had one of the regular Anglias with us at Anglesey.

Race 1 - Historic Road Sports
22 Starters; 20 finishers (unfortunately, the two non finishers were at the 'pointy' end). The race was over 20 minutes (12 laps).
Last year Julian Dodd had taken the lead off the start from the 2nd row in the wet in his TVR Griffith V8, so it was no problem for him to do the same this year from the 3rd row in the dry! He hit the front well before turning into Coppice, chased by the Elans of Andrew Marler (pole), Paul Toombs and Peter Shaw, and the Sevens of Martin Halliday and Andy Shepherd, Loti making up in numbers what they couldn't in engine size. The battle at the front was intense, with Dodd holding a slender lead from the squabbling Marler and Toombs, with Shaw and Halliday staying close, too. However all bets on whether the TVR could hold off the Lotus horde were off on lap 6 when the Griffith slowed and pulled off as his pursuers swept passed. Thereafter there was an immense struggle between Toombs and Marler, with Toombs leading for quite a while, but it was Marler who finally turned his pole position to victory. The Elans took a 1-2-3, but the gaps between Marler, Toombs and Shaw were much greater at the end than they had been during the race and were certainly not indicative of it. Halliday's Lotus Seven had pressed Shaw very hard but failed to complete lap 11, leaving Shaw safe from 4th place Shepherd. Below, you can see how quickly Dodd hit the front off the line; Richard Owen's 18th place Triumph TR2, oldest (and only Class F) car in the race, followed by a rather poor shot, but it does show the Class D winning Porsche 911S of Robert Barrie passing the Elan of Barry Ashdown as they head toward the Mountain section. They finished 5th and 6th respectively. Next is the Triumph TR5 of James Owen who was 8th overall, but had to give best in Class B to fellow TR5 regular, Colin Sharp, who finished ahead of him by just under 3 seconds. Paul Garside was final finisher in the pretty Lotus Elite, beaten in his class E by the Dick Coffey, David Rees Turners but as you can see enthusiastically driven nonetheless, and 15th overall was class winner Vicki Bankhurst, in the TVR Grantura Mk111:- |

There were flames coming out the underside of the white/green elite at the bottom of the mountain. Didnt seem to slow him down though.
John thanks for the push btw and hope your camera lens is ok. |

Mark, yes, but patience please; all will be revealed in the fullness of time.
James, I had no idea that an FF2000 would be so hard to push - 3 of us uphill and still struggling! Lens is at repairers. |

Police were called to our meeting at Anglesey after some gear was stolen on Sunday. Not sure of what went missing but the boys in blue prowled the paddock for a while.
