VSCC Spring Start -12/13 April

[John Turner]

I'm going to do an Al and say I cannot see this on Peter's excellent calendar.

This is going to be a superb 2 day meeting at Silverstone next weekend. Apart from all the usual splendid VSCC fare, there is an all ERA race with at least 12 of the 16 (or 17?) built entered plus HGPCA, FJHRA, 500s and a couple of 50s sports car races, the first of which is The George Abecassis Trophy Race on Saturday.

On the back of last year's successful Centenary race, I was able to obtain Abecassis family approval, and the go ahead from VSCC to run the Trophy race with a broadening to the scope of eligible cars. I sent out 90 invites and then chased, and chased .... and chased. The result was about 40 acceptances, 33 of whom converted to actual entries (max grid 34) and although we've lost one today, and you always lose one or two, I reckon it will still be as good a 50s sports/sports racing grid as any at the recent Goodwood meeting, but I would say that wouldn't I. Just be there!
