Saturday Goodwood Practice - I could put on a better show!

[C R Box]

Went to Saturday practice at Goodwood. A victim of it's own sucess I guess. Too many happy spectators to see much motor action.Glad I didn't fork out for the overcrowded grandstands. What we did see was 50% wow 50% joke.
Some drivers ,like Gerry Marshall, really have still got what it takes. However the ponce that set of up the hill before him in a be-winged Dodge Charger should consider his future as he could have overtaken by an agressive G.M.who was not amused, I'm sure. Would love to hear Gerry's comment in the paddock bar afterwards.
I don't care what a car's value is, if you demo before 60,000 paying punters, you owe it to them to give it a go. Not cruise on by. When I hillclimb my Healey in club events,I always give 110% commitment as a matter of self respect, despite always driving the thing to and from meetings.
Wasn't entirely bad though. Relaxing on the grass in the 'Style et Luxe' enclosure surrounded by concours exotica, sun beating down, listening to live 4-piece, beer in hand, looking up at short skirted, high class totty......paradise or what?
