Roy....technically first place  :police: ...but by only 0.3 of a second  {-) <*< :o just about 30 minutes to the start.....may the best drivers win [Loundsy & Winniecup]  %%  it has been 12 years since I attended.......it is a long day...leave hoMe @ 0400 & GET BACK HOME @ 20000

We were at the top of the cutting & the 2l super tourers came screaming throught @ about 13,000 RPM & looked fast.........then it was the V8's turn.....they just GROWL like a rocket on wheels.......& with so much down force   {-) Derek

Saw the last few laps of the race this morning, but what really caught my interest was the race for the pre 74 (I think) cars on Saturday evening, the old Camaro's, Falcon's, etc. and someone is building an AMC Javalin for next year, FABULOUS. Takes me back to when I used to marshall at Silverstone in the 70' & 80's. I treated myself and SWMO to tickets this year for the Classic at Silverstone and really enjoyed ourselves.

Hi & HS93 [Peter says] ..... "I see they are limited to only 24 cans a day on the mount" ...HS93....it has been years since a family group with young children could travel there & feel safe  ...the strong  :police: 'riot squad' presence was needed again

YOBBOS....spoil it for everyone...OZ a diverse culture .......Australian, middle Eastern, Asian, Sub Continent, European...& all they want to do is fight when they consume too much of anything  >>:-( ...I will say no more .....Derek

PS....'hope it floats' says ....."and murph just missed out on a podium"....yes we all must admit murph is a good driver & sportsman  :-))
