It's the Spa threads that seem to bring the worst out in you all! Must be the air, there!

Now anything more about the event, or should we now await the events of next weekend, when I'm sure we can expect to see some excellently contructed reports, stories and pictures?

You'd be better off on a bike or kart. Have fun anyway.

If anyone fancies a race at Spa,just turn up,I'm sure you would be welcome.

I only saw Cheng Lim's replica although sadly he ended in the wall at the top of the hill after Eau Rouge on lap 3 and I nearly joined him after the safety car went in when they removed it, it was quite a moment.

3:12 in a Cortina GT is pretty impressive

even if it is a 1760 on slicks

FISCracer should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
I thoroughly enjoyed the weekend even if the car did expire near the end of 270 minutes of track time...........

I had a really good ding dong with two french Caterhams in the BSSC race swapping places half a dozen times. Got them both in the last two laps. I was pretty pleased with a 3.09.5 in my little MG Midget on our FISC control tyre - roadgoing 155 Bridgestone 250s (worse than L sections), especially as it was still a little damp. My mate Adam in another quick Midget put on A048s and had some fun with a Jeremy in the D type and others - apparently he drove around the outside of a couple of the faster Caterhams at Pouhon! Twice. He did a 3.06............Pity we were in a class with an HPC

FISC went pretty well for me. Two class wins and a new lap record. Found myself 3rd overall at one time in the 2nd extremely wet race in with NHKTGT with only the faster Corvette and an Iso Rivolta in front of me. Succumbed to the Hugenholtz/Herzog Mustang the other Corvette and a Bizarrini 5300 before the end but I never expected to be 6th in such exalted company!

Zef, in the 3rd FISC/NHKTGT race I had a really good ding dong with a yellow dutch Cortina GT, prior to losing all my coolant. Thumbs up at each other going up the Kemmel straight etc. Bart-Jan Deenik, do you know him? The car isn't slow and his car control is pretty good
