Barrys one hour race at Spa

Any of our readers doing Barrys one hour race at Spa.

I,m out with the 917K replica, hopefully gremlin free and fully dried out after its "drowning"at that Brands GP "swim" in May !!!! Hoping that Barry watches down on us all and gives us a dry circuit !!!!!! Pleeeeeeeese.

Suprisingly lower grid numbers so far, especially as it is a special "memorial" race for dear Barry"Sideways"Smith.

I was told there were reserves. Sounds like I was misinformed. Can't make it sadly. Enjoy and say hi to Barry.

No slicks, and perhaps not in the spirit of the regulations....

We will be there in "Rose" Aston V8 Vantage.
It will be good to put some faces to internet names, hope to see some of you there.

This is good stuff.

If possible I'd like a couple of the Barry Sidery-Smith stickers for my MGB. Geography has kept me away unfortunately. If anyone who is going to Portugal and can help I'll buy the beer.

We had a great weekend, just sorry not to have been able to recognise fellow 10 10ther.

I feel this is the best event of the year, as the atmosphere is great plus so many really nice cars with lots of noise .

Does anyone know where to look for the official photographers or other photographers at the event?.

I didn't cover it this year but Jeff Bloxham normally goes. Charlie Wooding went I think. So maybe check their websites. Tenther Malcolm Smith has some on the Spa thread.

Also if you have Facebook try the link below - it's the Spa Six Hours site and they seem to be publishing a lot of photographers work on that so maybe link to their websites that way?

Hi Rikki, I did come to your paddock a couple of times, but there was no one around your car. Photos attached.
