The Spa 6 hours, 2008 - The Event! - Page 17

john ruston · 11 Oct 2008, 21:28 (Ref:2309345)

Wasn't my car in 6 Hrs.We were asked to become involved with my mates German entry.Passed the Terry/Peter Mobile on last lap but did win the number of Pit Stops Comp.Highlight was a 2 52 and the lead but the door had already started comming adrift at this point 6 mins into race.Must say the driving was much better this year but I still don;t understand the Knackered cars that drivers will get back into when they are obviously falling apart under them.Most used phrase on Sunday"the paying driver buggered the.....whatever'Its great event especially when your not paying ,much better than having your own car and cheque book on the line.Borrow other peoples pits to check the telly rather than rent your own.

Roger: I half expected a blue flag to appear.
But now I have become a "racer" on 10/10, and I think it might effect my laptimes

terence · 11 Oct 2008, 23:05 (Ref:2309408)

Mobile?? I wonder if it was Peter who buggered the alternator bracket,before I got back in the car.

I have to agree on the driving though,all in all it was pretty good,one or two out there but they sorted thier own result out!

Great vidio looks like a lot of fun.Barries race is a great idea for all the cars that cannot race in anything else.Jim looked at doing his race as well but we all ready had three races on the Sunday.

It is a good video Tim,as Delta says,Barry does provide a way for people to get onto Spa,my first one was through him but the second one that weekend was an FIA event,then I drove the car home again which is what a lot of drivers still do.

Delta,you a Clapton fan? "In my white barge,with black lines on,at Spa circuit".
Sorry,it is early.

Just think of the fun you could of had in my car in Barrys race Iain.

I think there should be a six hour every month.

Good stuff there Falcie. Tim was somewhat circumspect through Eau Rouge there but it wasn't his car after all. That car in front of you looked like the TR5 I played with after the pit stops.

[QUOTE=tatounet]Pictures of the day

great pics but in our case that was thursday with Mark Schmidt at the helm. We didnt race and practice friday , why was that???

If Terry is in the Capri but who is in the Mustang??? is that Hans Hugenholz.

terence · 12 Oct 2008, 18:17 (Ref:2310371)

No,he sent his appologies but could not come along.
Hows the GAA coming on Peter?

**Peter Mallett** · 13 Oct 2008, 06:32 (Ref:2310792)

Agreed John, they are great pics, (likewise the other circuit threads put up by "cub").
