What did u guys think of the event then?
I was marshalling on junction 4 in langdale which was a 90 right 90 left combo into a very long sweeping left down to junction 5
Jimmy Mcrae was awesome thru here, just sliding it enough to be really quick was definitely one of the fastest and bravest past us, 95% of the other competitors had a big lift or braked for the big sweeper but not jimmy.
Of the others i thought Bob Beans lotus cortina sounded awesome it just screamed. And he is bloody quick despite being about 70 ( i hear his winter fuel allowance from government bought him some new tyres for the event lol) The irish guys were very sideways and seemed to be having fun.
The only real excitement on our stage was the fiesta ST that fell over the first time thru and broke on the second time and the guy in the mk1 that put it in the ditch after the stop line whilst taking his helmet off (DOH)
I will be marshalling on langdale on saturday
it should be good, the stage is run twice in the day. Marshalling is great though, you get to watch from the best places and there are usually some freebies for doing it. And no marshalls=no event so get out there and help
There is also the clubmans rally on running after the RAC
it will cost to get into Dalby to spectate heard it might be £10to20 per car
It should have been our rally this last weekend, but the weather meant it had to be cancelled. The picture below is of one of the fastest straights of the rally(normally)
The rally is normally held in manby, which is only a couple of miles from louth which had 3 feet of water in it by friday night
thanks for the comments
The galaxie was awesome, I think it is raced in historic touring cars so it has a full cage and modern drivers seat but still has a full red leather interior (cage goes through back seat). I think the zephyr races in touring cars too.
ps did you guys notice he has red and green marker lights on roof (port and starboard) as it is such a big old barge!!
It was the reunion for ex members of hmc tonight, lot of old boys with lots of money not like the current membership! Not all OSF`s but some very nice cars
this lotus has a brm engine out of a single seater and has been hillclimbed for last 40 years ish (by the same guy!)
I think i went there on a stag do about 5 years ago, if it is the same place it was a top venue, would prefer somewhere closer to home but dont really mind where i go.
You can get a lift over with me or Juby if there's any
problems
Thanks mate, dont mind driving, but it wouldnt be in the escort, focus diesel power!!!!!!
There was a classic car show at the whiterose shopping centre today, so I managed to get a couple of pics, not many osf`s but there were some interesting other things there including a 512bb ferrari, 57 chevy and a 59 cadillac. It was p***ing down so i think some of the cars didnt stay too long.
