Hey,

Did anyone else go today? I was really surprised at the turnout, I have been on the F3/GT weekend, and I dont remember it being that busy, even then. Today it seemed to be packed, and some very nice cars in the car parks, as well as on the track, the Enzo imparticular.

There were some huge fields of cars again, in the 30's and 40's, but Im never sure about the racing itself, some of the events seem to have a few too many classes, leaving the field a bit spread out.

All in all tho, a gud day, unlike the poor bloke who wrote off his Jag e-type, gotta feel for that man!

Si

hello i went today its busyiest i have seen it since rally day last year

the big grids were good and what about that first formula ford race you can view some of my pictures here www.marktucker.photos.us.com

Yup, I was down with you on Tower Tux

Helluva day, As I mentioned to a few people, It's not often you can go to a meeting, see a Shelby 350GT and it's not even nearly the most desirable car there.

Annoyingly, I've been forced to add a new car to my list of cars that I must own before I die, the Bizarrini 5300GT was just too gorgeous.

Thanks to all competitors for putting on a good show today, esp. the Cloth Cap/Top Hat chaps who were really superb value.

What? yet ANOTHER success for the 'new' Castle Combe race organization?

Way to go Adrian!

As usual spent the whole day up there even though i'm not really a fan of historic stuff i did enjoy it,apart from the ****** who was not happy about losing 5 mins of his cloth cap race and the last lap was shown too early i hope he was dealt with for making his feelings known over the speaker system think bad loser comes to mind!!!
As usual the combe fford provided excellent action and the propect of qualifying races in the future [depending on interest]will really give drivers and spectators value for money,too be honest sometimes its the combe based championships that seem to provide the best entertainment the GT's still need a little work but even so they are really quick.
The next meetings more my style bit more up to date

A great day out. Just wandering through the paddock was worth the gate price. Some fantastic cars and good racing.

I thought that Combe's own series put up a great showing as well, some of the best racing I've seen in a good while.
