This meeting has a really friendly vibe to it and one I always enjoy attending.
Good sportsman racing and a dose of Outlaw Anglia thrown in for good measure.
It was cold but the track stayed open all the time and I still come home with a tanned face.

This year was also a try out meeting for the newly formed UK Nostalgia Superstock Association. A class put together by Pete Walton and hopefully one that will grow. More on that later

VW's
Phil Jarvis in his Split Screen Fire Bus which runs a 2387cc 280bhp engine with 150bhp shot of gas was running as low as 11.42. I'm told that the world record is 11.40.

This was a fresh import from California for £16,000. It didn't have much left internally but it did have 4 new whitewall tires on it so Bargain :-)

Outlaw Anglia were very entertaining as always.
King Cliff looks like reigning again in 2016. Hopefully somebody can step up to the tough task of matching Cliff before it becomes a Bryan Adams No1 forever type situation.
