The only bit I can help with is that the race is from 11am to 5pm tomorrow.

Thats the bit I knew too..ah well I'm assuming there are no support races so a 9am arrival should easily be early enough.
I have just dug out the programmes fro 1963 & 1964 and they were held in August..when did it change to midwinter??? |

Still you can always reminisce about how you travelled there and back, raced all day and when you refilled the tank you still had change from a pound If you got there at 9.00, you were early as the fog delayed practice. |

Did I hear tell of a radio discussion roughly thus.
Race control: "Start line, can you see the posts either side of you?" Start Line: "I can't see the start line..." Probably apocryphal, but nevertheless accurate. What a brilliant meeting though, had a great time. Who won? Does it really matter? And more importantly, was everyone ok as there were a couple of very bent cars. We were discussing that if you placed all of the cars in a list in order of laps completed, how far up would the pace car have been. I reckon top 25 at least? |

Tell you what, I was in the 'Chase Car' & there were times when I couldn't see the car in front going own the club straight into Brooklands.
Thought the race went very well though. |
