Also shows how much of a sprint race these modern endurance events are. 6 Hours like that.

Looking forward to more historics in 2012!
Enjoyed that Rog reminds me of my Radical days with the stick shift.Do you have to use the clutch?.

Thanks guys. Just filled in the form, although I don't see why I need to send a copy of my Birth Certificate as surely the DWP already know how old I am ?
I shall put some of the money towards the cost of the 10/10ths Festive Fry Up at the Ace Cafe.
Are there any other 'old peoples hand outs' that I'm missing out on?

And to think you tell me you 'don't do Christmas trees' and there you go winning Concours Awards...!

Typically at the HSCC Dinner they hand out provisional calendar for the following season ... did they do that this time? Would love to see the dates, even if still subject to potential changes ...
