VSCC @ Mallory Park

Just seen the entry list for Sunday and happily there's well over a 100 cars including 19 front engined Formula Juniors.
Should sound good too as it one of the few meetings @ the circuit with a 108db noise level, which means that the Wife can hear it from our living room!

See you there?

Tuesday is sold out, which is good.
Just hope this wretched rain goes away, yet again everything round here is flooded, so with bikes on Friday & cars Saturday & Sunday the grass will be chewed up by your visit.

The gates will be open during the lunch hour.

In the afternoon there are no set times and certainly there will be no more than two breaks but that is subject to what happens on the day bearing mind that there are 9 races to be run before 6pm.

I will put out tannoy annoucements on Sunday, giving as much notice as I can.

Actually Graham Hill and certain other members of Team Lotus also a few Cooper lads were famous for the acetylene gas bomb antics

Probably only applies to the Biker days.


Maybe also VSCC since they sometimes invite the 3 wheeler Morgans ... and perhaps have people who have memories of the Graham Hill days.

And it sounds glorious too . A nice day out ,with a healthy quota of spectators too. And well done to Mallory - 5 years ago the place looked a tip but it has been tidied up beautifully .



Are they rebuilding the pit garages - looked like something being done ?

without loosing its character
I was very impressed
in a positive way

The garages were 'modernised' - lick of paint, doors front & back and individually partioned.

All down to Stuart Hicken the Circuit Manager, not only does he organise, he's well known for getting his hands dirty..
