Goodwood Revival Mtg

[Nordic]

Agreed Brad, great day out.

Highlights,

Blagging our way into the pre 66 car park in a 71 E.type without a ticket or pre 66 car.

Grant williams in the Jag being beaten by a tiny noddy car, after both of them fought there way from the back of the grid.

A great air show, the spits and Mustangs plus the Lancaster wonderful.

An amazing array of sports cars in both the TT and Whisun races.

We also saw one of the Daytona Cobras get barged of the track by the Project Aston, a Stingray spin into the gravel and go up and nearly over as a saloon car did earlier in the day.

A couple of GT40s got a bit dented and willie green ending up being beached.

Best wishes to Chris Smith, owner of Westfield Sports Cars who crashed heavily early in the F1 race, again at madgewick. the car seemed to fold in half around him very nasty and it took over an hour to cut him out, Nasty.

Agree with all of that Nordic, esp best wishes to Chris Smith, although I'm a bit annoyed with him as his accident caused a delay of about an hour, I was on a tight time schedule and had to leave before the GT40's, Lola T70 spiders etc came out to play.

As you say, Grant Williams was spectacular, I'm only surprised they werent picking his teeth out of the steering wheel, he got it sooo sideways at the corner with no name and had a bit of a tank slapper going at about 120 mph. Awsome!

Finally, note to the organisers. On a hot day with the commentators warning people to drink plenty of fluids, it's probably a bad idea to run out of drinking water at every bar/cafe by three pm. Grrr! A £1 can of luke warm vanilla cola does not cut any ice I can tell you.
