With the exception of the first one....which was special for all sorts of reasons....THAT was THE BEST 360 we have EVER done.....as Jo Bradley asked me "who is writing your scripts for this races stories Claire?"...what a race

My thanks to ALL those who took part...your driving standards were so superb...but then again...perhaps its my drivers briefings !! ha ha

A MINI COOPER WON THE 360.....those that thought Kevin Clarke and Intersport would run away with it were wrong...WAY WAY wrong...and kevin was robbed of the hatrick...but we were not robbed for a cracking race with battles going on in ALL classes

Never say never...I made Duncan Rodgers apologies because he umm'd and arrrr'd about going to Snett "We wont will nofing...its the 200 ...we dont stand a chance"....(yet he doesn't count the fact that his refuelling is three minutes faster than his nearest rivals because he has invested in some heavy ยงยงยงยง FIA churns that vent sooo good that the fluid falls out ! (hope we have them for the Three hour next week at Rockingham that he and I are doing)

Congrats to him and all the teams for a fantastic race

Anyway...do yourselves a favour you Historic lot....read the reports on what was in..how the race went...look up BBC Look East .....listen to the podcast from Radio Le mans ......but better still...when I offer you a race like this at cost....TAKE ME UP ON THE OFFER!!!!!

Ta all

I had an ex colleague helping out as pit crew on an MG at the race and said it was very enjoyable event. He's building up a BMW 3 series and is targeting an entry at some point. I'm going to try and persuade him to bring me in as his teammate so I can find an excuse to race in the event

Looking forward to Rockingham though, I will be on the grid in a Radical SR3

Ian's a massive gold nugget - as my usual crew was stuck behind accidents on M25 etc and about 2 hours late, Ian stepped in and was a huge help. I'm hoping to reciprocate by helping with the Beemer.

Good stuff, that's the spirit of club racing through and through! I was following the updates on his fb page, hopefully he was getting some valuable experience when the beemer is up and running!

Had a great day with MGDavid and really enjoyed the whole event. Thank you for having me in the team, David. Congrats to all participants and many thanks to Claire for persevering. Great to see a BMW Mini win proving that you don't need a mega bucks Britcar to win, and great to see a variety of "normal" club racing cars take part from an MX5 to an Alfa 156.
