Great shot, Gary but looks all too cold for me!

This is the promised Bauble shot. It's of the dice for the lead in the Bic Healey race, between Jonathan Abecassis in his Austin Healey 100/4 and Drew Cameron in the Speedwell Sprite (which had been built for Drew by his father, Allan, who we very sadly lost to cancer at the beginning of the year). The dice went on for lap after lap, and they were often side by side as shown here. Having watched racing now for at least 50 years, mainly historics, this race was as close as any I have witnessed over the years. Jonathan won it by just over a tenth of a second.
