Ten Years ago this week
John Smith, Terry Bower, Mike Sweeney, and I meet in a hotel in Canary Wharf and along with Andy Yeomans and Peter Mallet, formed The 360 Motor Racing Club. Specifically for the sole purpose of organising and holding a six hour Historic Production saloon multi class endurance motor-race.... which had originated from this fine forum... "The Alternative Six Hour"
Time passes quickly ... Next August 15th marks the tenth anniversary of the first running of that race..... |

Yes, and a damned shame it couldn't become an established event, but well done all for giving it a go.

It was a great idea Claire. Great shame it didn’t get the support it deserved.

I remember that day as if it were yesterday.
Great shame it didn't go the way we all hoped it would but at least we tried. RIP John, never forgotten. |

Yes, it was good fun. But out of that, you developed the RoM so not all was lost.
