Home Straight was on the old 2.71 mile circuit and was the section between the Hairpin at the end of the Norwich Straight and the left hand turn into the Esses. Currently the entrance road into the circuit runs parallel with the old Home Straight which is now part of the Snetterton market site. Terry |

The startline at the Willhire was always great, very relaxed and a part atmosphere - I have some great pictures and also memories of my Dad falling asleep in his car wear a cowboy hat with a cigar hanging out of his mouth!!

My Pictures
OK, so I've finally got around to finding & scanning my pictures from (what I think is) the 1981 Willhire.
There's not as many as I thought (and they're not as sharp as I'd hoped!) but I'll share them anyway. http://s250.photobucket.com/user/VIV...Start.png.html http://s250.photobucket.com/user/VIV...pel01.png.html http://s250.photobucket.com/user/VIV...pel02.png.html http://s250.photobucket.com/user/VIV...pri03.png.html http://s250.photobucket.com/user/VIV...Mazda.png.html http://s250.photobucket.com/user/VIV...ght02.png.html |

I really Like this one - actually thought it was an error until I looked at the background - that's a cracking shot |

*Man in red cap on the left* is my mate Nick who attended many race meetings with me back in the day, sadly, I think he still has that anorak! |

Brundle Celica Update
Hi Guys,
I know this thread has stopped some time ago, but thought you would like to know the Brundle Celica is coming along, and we are hoping to have the shell back early January. Some photos to follow of the engine done, and the shell after soda blasting. |

Looking forward to the updates, for no other reason than I went to the same school as the Brundles!

Guys,
I know this is a very old thread, but I thought I'd try my Luck. Does anyone have any photos or Info about the TVR Tasmin that Colin Blower drove in the 1982 race ? I see from an earlier Post that he ran with the number 5. Does anyone have the results list ? Thanks in Advance Steve |

Lend us your brakes mate
I competed in some of the Wihire events but noticed people reminising about various issues. We ran an Escort RS Turbo when they first came out, one of its Achilles heels were the brakes which were not up to 24 hour racing. So Norman ?(the commentator) put out an appeal for any XR3i owners to come to the box and many were happy to allow our mechanics to remove their front brakes to complete the race and our mechanics replaced the parts after the event. Does anyone else remember this?
