Glad you enjoyed it, I also had a brilliant weekend on 3, nothing to do today and I was knackered after staying up too late last night so lucky really

Not looking forward to seeing the photo Anne took of our all-girl team in the newsletter, hoping it will accidentally get deleted by then!
But thanks everyone on-post and off for a fab time, looking forward to the next Brands Hatch Marshal's Curry Club meeting

Did have a good chuckle about that at the briefing about that! I am looking forward to ANOTHER win on a raffle! 2 days on the trot was not a bad go

Miss Pebbles · 19 Oct 2008, 21:07 (Ref:2316212)

I didnt win once this weekend, gutted!

Bryan Degerlund · 19 Oct 2008, 21:23 (Ref:2316221)

Why is it my name is drawn too late for the decent prizes but too early for the money?

Had a great time I/Oing at 4A on Friday and Saturday (had to return home early due to the birth of my first grandson-inconsiderate bogger, could have waited until Monday

). but what happened to the Formula Fords. With just over a grid of entries for both Kent and Duratec two races would have done it! I had the feeling that the drivers in the 4 heats only went though the motions of racing knowing that if they kept it on the black stuff they would be in the final.
So, looks like the Formula Ford festival as was is now the Caterham festival. Good close racing ,too close at times as the number of cars in the Manitoo bay testifies to. Think I will charge a parking fee next time

Well done to all my troops for quick, safe removal during live snatches and to Obs Ken, Chris and Sue.
I always enjoy my annual foray "darn Sarf". The nativies are friendly and always up for a good time

. Highlight of the weekend was the live band in the bottom paddock on Saturday night-top notch performance of rock classics

I'll be back next year but may not do the festival. I'll wait until the calendar comes out to decide.

Thanks to all the guys on post 8(sat) and 25(sun) for a good weekend.
see you all next weekend....

sunny.traveller · 20 Oct 2008, 11:02 (Ref:2316588)

Had a great weekend, thanks to all on Startline & Pits.

Most surreal moment of the weekend (on Saturday), hearing Brian Jones over the PA saying "and the green flag is about to be waved at the back of the grid". just as I was about to wave that green flag!

See lots of you in two weeks for Trucks

Am I right in assuming that was the nose panel....? (the "medication" had kicked in by then!

)

Can anyone post a link to where the photos from Saturday night are posted (through the afore mentioned self induced medication fog

I seem to remember facebook being mentioned.

mini1400 · 20 Oct 2008, 18:41 (Ref:2316883)

Love the photo of Tandy in the gravel, any of the altercations?

He then put on a great couple of drives in the Last Chance race and then the final to make it to 5th

mini1400 · 20 Oct 2008, 18:51 (Ref:2316893)

Stack, a few are here. I'll upload some more tomorrow....

Hi, I'm Craig's cousin (who was on 22) just to let you know that you did not scare him off, he had to work on Saturday and was not very well on the Sunday and he has sends his apologies. Was the car that did not finish one of the two that had a little coming together right at the end?

Well I think he was slightly more annoyed than you! He was turning the air blue after it.

Miss Pebbles · 21 Oct 2008, 19:51 (Ref:2317825)

wasnt it 47?

I was cheering Peter Barrable after his excellent dancing in the bar, not really surprising he didnt do too well in this races lol

Stack · 23 Oct 2008, 14:03 (Ref:2319117)

For those that missed the Band in the bottom paddock.....

By the way, it's not a smoke machine-just our febble effots to switch off the space heater!!!

Miss Pebbles · 23 Oct 2008, 20:32 (Ref:2319371)

It still worries me that he can sing that high.....
