Excellent stuff!   Saw some of Rick's video last night - great stuff to come there.   The Stn photographers have given me some of the sample pictures to have a look at before I go down tomorrow and sift through all of them to make up the photo CD.   As a taster, here's one of Mr Zarse proving that he can survive about the Commer's max speed.......

A great weekend!! Thanks to Mark for all the hard work, putting on a cracking weekend.  Also to everyone there making for bringing that special CA spirit to the event.  It was great to see Mark getting out on track even with all his organising and seeing BigH's Jag being driven the way it was ment to be driven.... flat out! 

It was good to see what the FTO could do... which turned out to be better than expected and surprised a few, including Andy as I practised some late braking going into "the corner at the end of the main straight" (catchy name ).

Good to see everyone having a great time, see you all there next time 

P.S Still can't find that dam tax disc!!

Here's one of the very quick racing XJS.......

And one that just goes to show that just because you have one...........

Good to see the driver has his foot firmly on the brake peddle.  Will this be in the video?

Mark, who was there from the FOC?

Jack Sears, Peter Everingham plus a whole bundle of other blokes and about 30 Ferraris.......non-FOC was about 45 various jolly nice motors.

Is it April yet? 

I think you've got me hooked on an expensive hobby Mark!

P.S Anyone got a pic of my car going round? I haven't seen one yet.

"there was a wide spread of vehicles, ranging from the affordable to the expensive, from the standard to the exotic, and from road-going to pure-bred racers"

Which catergory did the Cortina fall into then? 

[Fran]

Probably "expensive" - particularly if you ask the driver of the unfortunate TVR that was behind him.

Even at 180 mph that straight seems long...nice work.
