I guess being "the quickest circuit in the country" it's not exactly the best for the smaller capacity cars. Those Nissans should be mighty around Thruxton though - will Rod be beaten? Shame I can't be there for this one - looks like a good meeting.

Just seen the entry list. Wish I was able to come and watch. Me thinks Mr Birley will have a battle on his hands!
Will be interesting to see how much quicker Steve Noble's Nova is over Graham's one. Hoping for a dry day for everyone. |

I'll second that. Woody you're not doing French cars justice, they are not all crap. They did make the 2CV. |

Not sure if Rod will be at Brands tomorrow as picked up some damage.
And Bill apparently stripped a gear and with no other Minis racing there were no spares so he had an early bath. Great couple of scraps in particular Race 2. |

An excellent days entertainment from all the series.
It was a shame both Skylines hit trouble but both races were crackers Congrats to the Combe lads on class and overall wins. |

That amount of info is a teaser, having not been there we are trying to find out all the gossip! Its unusual for Rod to get damage, what happened? Sorry there was no class E cars to help Bill. Does anyone know why Nigel Craig didnt finish 1st race? |

Had a great day! (even if I was in the least powerful car) I would just like to say a big thanks to everyone who made it possible.

The Thruxton chicane bit the Escorts back side. Now we have daylight in the rear shock mount/turret. |

to be fair Rod was out of control before he got to the chicane.
It was something to do with the antifreeze inside the car making the pedals slippery. There will be a nice airbourne shot on the website later I bet Mr. Jon hasn't got one ? |
