Six Hours Of Spa 2003
I know this is repeated but I figured there maybe a few historic racers in here interested.
I have finished the first phase of my pages covering last weekends HSCC Six Hours of Spa meeting http://paulsands.org/spa.htm If you've been before make sure you hit refresh to be sure of seeing any new images. I have four rolls of slides to be returned and will ad anything worthwhile from those in the near future |

Great web pages - you have captured the flavour of one of the great undiscovered meetings of the year. Anyone with any kind of affinity with historic motorsport should put this meeting on their itinery. Atmosphere oozes out of the place, There are no crowds, there is plentiful accomodation at reasonable prices - and if you want a break from biere and frites there are some excellent restaurants nearby.
I could bore for England about how good this meeting is - but I think I've said enough. |

Paul, Thanks for sharing the photos.With your writing of the meeting I felt as though I was there. Good stuff.The Can-Am cars would have sounded great at Spa.

It really is a special event. Whilst I only race in a support event the whole meeting encapsulates all that is good about historic and classic motorsport.
I'm actually amazed that more commpanies don't get involved in marketing but then you'd need to advertise it heavily and then it would get crowded and then it would turn into Coys and then..................... Well we know the rest. I met up with some nice people who, initially attracted by my car, now send me videos and articles about Gordon Spice and the Martin Brothers. (You need to look at my car to understand this). Alain Russel who has raced an MGB for the last 30 years always makes time to look me up and share a few memories. I hope the FIA doesn't get too picky about things. We now need to run foam filled tanks, FIA seats, fire extinguishers and Harnesses. (All good and valid points) but if their ideas of licencing for "foreign" events comes to fruition then I can see a massive reduction in entries and therefore the loss of the event.
