Silverstone Classic

[SouthportFC Fan]

To those of you who didn't hear Gary Dearn's message of thanks on Sunday, he acknowledged that perhaps the meeting was a bit long and they will be reviewing the timetable again. Remember how long it was last year even though it was only two days, I think !

Thanks for the magnums Sheila and good work with car 61 Chezza.

Just to confirm Gary Dearn's message that the subject of 'long days' and 'short breaks' will be fed back into the debrief on the meeting and will, hopefully, be addressed for next year.

It was good to see a smiling Willie Green in the pitlane after his nasty accident at Goodwood last year.

Was at Luffield In Friday and Priory Saturday. Couldn't do Sunday, hope the weather held out. A great couple of days, with great company. Had a good view of Bill Shepherd's Cobra fire. He did the sensible thing and the fire marshals did a great job (120 lts of fuel, a ruptured fuel tank and a hot car!).
Very glad to see Bill and ALL marshals were O.K.
Also had a good view of the whizzo roll. Once again, speedily dealt with by the marshals. Excellent bacon butties & tea from the Hegarty insurance, on a still clear Saturday morning, will watching the balloons go up.
Campsite was good, but didn't get far from my tent as I was worn out and wanted to get a look around the paddock.
All in all, another great meeting from the HSCC.

Steve - I'll let you off not being able to spell my name! I think the Magnums were well deserved by all (and its a good way of ingratiating yourself with the "staff" - especially when you are only pretending to observe).

But Chezza only has herself to blame - we did point out that the pork pie was tempting fate. One big accident, one lost wheel and then Whizzo upside down! It had been a quiet day up until then.......

<looks innocent> but I was hungry and the pie looked so nice! Fortunately the guy was ok, saw him wandering round the pitlane later on in the day.

The ice creams were a wonderful touch, thanks Shelagh and Steve!

Err pork pie chezza... now you should better than that.

The fire did not seem that big dealing with it, was not till i saw the photos from a snapper (thank joanne Burnett) that i saw just how high the flames got.

And i would like to offer my thanks to the classic bike marshalls (if any of them hang about here) that helped out with the bike loop, what a great bunch of people look forward to working with you again.

Sorry, I'll get it right on the Christmas card !!

You are forgiven. It was nice to see you again, and to be able to chat when those noisy cars weren't going past!

And we still can't figure out how long it is since we've seen Laura...nice to see she is still able to enjoy herself nowhere near the cars!!!!
