It’s going to be long day, looking at the timetable for the meeting! All on HSCC website for anyone interested. Positive thought -It will be early enough to avoid having to pay the Dartford toll on the way down......

Some cars on the entry list are unfamiliar to me, but the car I am pleased to see entered is Ben Gill’s blue ex Broadspeed Martino Finotto Italian championship winning Gp2 car. It is absolutely gorgeous and period correct, as Ben insists on it being so. I always use it as an example to others on how a historic race car should be presented and raced.....

Daniel & I will be there, we were going to do a race each but he’s now doing both.

We will be arriving Sat afternoon to set up after picking up new puppy on Sat morning as had to have Archie put down unexpectedly last week.Absolutely gutted.

Looking forward to catching up with Mike & Iain.

So, a question.....

Can’t remember ever having to get van and trailer behind garages before, have always been in outer paddock. Presume have to go on the ‘high’ route at the discretion of the paddock marshals?

Thank you HSCC for organising signing on and scrutineering in the middle- saves a lot of rushing about! I’ll have enough to do as it is.....

Mike you should be able to get van & trailer through tunnels, but if not finals say you will only have access across the track before 09:00 and after 18:00

Looking at the weather forecast, I will turn up at the last possible minute on Sunday!

Sorry I won't be able to see you young"lads" driving round my local track in the UK as duty calls on the 4 mile stretch of watering holes further south than Brands.
Being a hard up OAP I can't afford a flight back just for this meeting but I'll be there in "spirit" (or should that be Larkins) ?

Only 6 in the FJ race when I checked the other day. As for the weather Mike, I spent last weeekend at Knockhill....Brands can't possibly dish up worse than that!

Was there a very pressing reason for such a visit Colin?

A select few FJ's held an extra-curricular race (Mrs Mac and I were there representing the fan base, not driving), we happened to be passing by after a month in the Western Isles. Looking at the weather today it looks like we got out just in time!

Ah! A month in the Western Isles is a decent excuse Colin.

Travelling from where you reside for the sole purpose of visiting the track for a specific race as a spectator would be beyond heroic. IMO.

However the locality, if one happens to be there for a few days, has much to offer. Especially East Fife.

Through the jungle telephone (it does reach southern Spain} I understand that there will be some very rapid Escorts built for this meeting.
And I thought that it only happened at Goodwood !!!!

Well, the 3 cars driven by father and sons will no doubt be quick.

As the latest weather forecast is promising heavy rain all day, I could well be watching from the garage.......

The truck will be sitting back at base on Sunday! Hardly cost effective for transporting one car for one day event..... Washing off flies that got in the way on last Sunday’s trip home is scheduled for this afternoon.....

As well as the rain predicted there is a warning out for ‘up to 45mph’ wind speed, which is really depressing. On the one day in September when bit of sun and a dry track were all I ask!
