This turned out to be a pretty good meeting, with some excellent racing ..... and in warm and often sunny weather. May put some pics up later.

It was a shame to see the remains of Paul Eales MGBGT after his accident, but great to see him back @ the circuit before the meeting had finished after his trip to Hospital in Coventry.
The ZR races were both lively with racing right through the field Slightly strange was the Equipe GTS race where Paul Kennelly was shown the Black/Orange flag but with no Pit-Lane how could he call into the Pits? If he'd gone into the Paddock he wouldn't have crossed a Timing Beam, strange, strange. |

Ah well, that explains why Paul stayed out then. It was discussed in the Paddock after. I think he may have had a bit of a knock, perhaps on the start line which broke one of the bonnet securing straps although the other held throughout the race, I believe.
I took quite a lot of photos of races 2, 3, 4 & 7 but scrapped most of them as they were, as usual rubbish but here are a few just about acceptable ones from Race 2 - The Peter Best Insurance MG Cup |

A few from Race 7 - Iconic 50s race which, for those that were there, the programme reference to one FISCAR entry, repeated by the commentators, was erroneous, since at least 4 other entries are regular and enthusiastic FISCAR members and racers, and the one entry thus described was not a FLIER class car anyway but an Inter-Marque car (for those that care, which I do!):-

Some photographs from Sunday. Great to be at Mallory again. It's very little changed since my first visit in 1974 and is still a great spectating venue. |

Great shots, Simon. I feel that at one stage I might have been standing almost next to you!
