Not Ranked
Just wanted to echo my thanks to the organisers for a really enjoyable time on Saturday. It seemed to run with a minimum of fuss and I'm certainly keen to be a part of it next year. I had a great time eyeballing cars and catching up with a few (not so) familiar faces. Got my first taste of Cobras in their natural habitat and I'm really surprised at how well they can be made to go, stop and turn - visions of tail happy shopping trolleys no more.
Standouts for me were Soulman's Kirkham "brute" - if it had been on the track he would've had an army of pit crew volunteers. The grass fire in the centre of the track after someone ran off the main straight (fire crew ran 200m on foot to put it out before the fire truck was even started - wouldn't want to be trapped in a car at Winton). And the poor chap who reversed out of the garage area through a cyclone mesh fence, shearing his windscreen off at the guards but luckily not losing his head - a lesson for me in pumping the brakes after a spell on the track. The artwork on Phil M's car and plenty of other amazingly detailed cars that people weren't afraid to throw around on the track. I could go on... suffice to say I have plenty of motivation to be ready for next year.
