Paddockman should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
I too attended all races from 1986-1990.

Very great memories of this event.

In 1986 as it was the 1st year and not knowing what the parking was like in the city centre decided with my father to drive to a railway station about half hour from the centre and catch the train in! Shame the so called Hurricane struck.

I also remember being able to sit in the beer garden of a pub opposite the 1st corner at the end of Bristol St and sample the very cheap lager whilst watching qualifying.

Another memory is of viewing at the first corner during the final minutes of qualifying in 89 and seeing Martin Donnelly career headlong into a stationary spun car litterally 6ft infront of me.

The Noise was fantastic and the whole spectacle was brilliant, miss the event very much!!
