An All 'ard?

Bob, really. This is a family forum you know (albeit I suspect that most of the "kids" are probably into their 4th decade these days ......)

As those of us into our 8th decade are wont to say; "Watch it mush, or I'll bounce yer!"

Ex Ted.

Ian,

The link seems to require a login. If so your audience will be a tad restricted I suspect.

Thanks Grant, try this link.

The HSCC has announced that they will continue to run the Silverstone Classic for the promoter but have lost "their" race, the one that HSCC had to showcase each year one of their champoinships that is not a regular at the Classic
Last Championship to get the slot then was Guards Trophy

a shame
yet another connection gone between Proper Clubman Racing and one of the biggie events.

money will have played a role
the replacement might pay more for the slot
or offer more perceived pull with the crowds

The Donnie Festival has just shown what happens if organisers get too big for their shoes having been successful for while, yes, poor grids....

Never mind
this adds value to the HSCC Inter event in May coming up
not a bad thing in itself

Thanks Ian.

Great selection and content!

That black Trike device looks like it would make an interesting Course vehicle/Pace "car".

DHF did seem a little odd in terms of grids.

Some with good numbers and reserves. Others rather lacking.

The regular "names" at the events seem to be changing. Whether that is simply a natural churn of ownership and interest levels or represents some other more fundamental re-balancing of how the market will operate remains to be seen.
