Simon, I can appreciate your concern re the short races - that's why we bought the TVR so we can take part in the Cloth Cap, FIA etc longer distance races.

Hubby and I really enjoyed Oulton. We haven't raced there since 1998 - it certainly is a challenging track. Jason and I really enjoyed our races and the whole weekend and think it was worth the trip even for the shorter races.

I concur that it was not in the same league as Coys and to some extent this was a little disappointing. The HSCC did really well but to be fair the lack of publicity (see Marcus Pye's comments in Autosport) and lack of celebs probably didn't help. I would call it a "posh" HSCC do rather than an out of out Coys event. It was all very relaxed and it was wonderful that spectators and fellow competitors a like could wander around and stand in awe at the variety and breadth of the cars competing.

Let's hope the HSCC can build on this for next year. I'll certainly put it in our race calendar for next year.

I guess the point I am making is that gvn the prep costs are the same for 20 min races as for 1 hr ones the longer races offer better value and therefore attract bigger grids which is good for everyone
look at how successful Top HAt and Gentleman Drivers have become maybe the others should leran from that
