Cheers for that. Don't suppose you know roughly when the last race is scheduled to start?
Look forward to marshalling the event. Not done this meeting before. |

I've worked out roughly from my competitors info the last race should start around 4pm.
From a competitiors point of view this is one of the best meetings we do, relaxed friendly, great cars and very mixed cars, in alll a proper club meeting. And time to watch the other races. Always gets put in the diary first! Thanks to all the marshals in advance. |

What with a couple of Bentley parades scheduled during the afternoon we intend to finish by 5:30pm, God willing. There will be around 250 cars from 180 entrants and apart from the Marshals draw we give £7 towards lunch/whatever and try to make it a family day so please come along and enjoy.

A good days racing with some interesting cars on track. Everything from the 24litre Napier engined Bentley, spitting flame under deceleration, to the two Bentley Turbo R's. The breakfast donation was very welcome. Despite the rain during the morning and sunshine in the afternoon, the whole day passed with little or no incidents. Thanks BDC.

I wonder if Prince Michael enjoyed his "spin" in the Speed 8?
