Glad you like them Barn as they take ages to do :)

Anyway..
Everyone thought the weather would be a problem today but apart from a few spits it wasn't.
The main problem came when out German visitors run together.
The Master of Disaster willys sadly lived up to it's name with a crazy run, first tipping on one side of the car on the centre line and then after a correction just missed the barrier and then back on it's side again.
I thought the car had gone over but it seems it didn't.
Meanwhile in the other lane the Opel GT had dumped some kind of heavy oil down the track.
This proved to be a big problem to remove and took ages but the hard working crew got in done in the end but we did lose a lump of the day.
The rest of the day was very good with some quick times had and some very interesting racing seen.

At the end of the day we had a sort of cackle fest and a tribute to Vic Hammond.
Dave Mckenzie gave a nice speech about Vic followed by a one minute claping tribute
for Mr Big.
Here's Vic's wife and family with Lee Gallimore.

Well done to all the Shakey crew for a very quick track even in tricky weather conditions.
Hi to everyone I meet for the first time :)
Thank's to everyone one who went to support the event despite the terrible and mainly wrong weather forecasts last week.
Lastly I want to thank the racers who make the extra effort and pay the costs to bring their fantastic machines for us all to watch 8)

Here's a few more from this years event.
