There were difficulties that day with entries not having been put on line, but MyLaps was working during the day. I didn't have a list of entries to be able to call batches to the assembly area pre start. More difficult than usually, but as they say, "All in the best possible taste" and everybody got more runs than usual, all 87 of them! I got a cheer for harrying them!
Saturday
Duncan Ricketts with ERA GP1
The 2021 Hall & Hall BRM V16.
The Hot Rod parade kicked off the track proceedings each day.

Sunday
At most hotels around the Goodwood area, there are usually cars of interest and this Lagonda was snapped early as I set off for the final day.
Sunday, all track pics are from races (or parades), though one or two may have been taken on the formation lap. My philosophy is that with classic racing, you take a pic when you can which is why if I were to choose just one day to attend, it would be Friday.
One of my favourites - the Kieft-Climax V8.
FJ Terrier went well.

Somewhat out of sequence, but on the Tuesday prior to Goodwood, one of custodians, or members of the Bourne Historical Society, opened up the 'Baldock Mill' museum just for me, so that I could browse the 'Raymond Mays' room. This was very much appreciated so not only did I purchase a couple of ERA stickers and a book, and make a donation, but I also presented them with an original print of Dad's, showing Raymond Mays, Peter Berthon and Humphrey Cook in the paddock at Donington.
I spent an enjoyable time in there and suffice to say, loads of memorabilia, photographs, trophies etc - and a BRM V16 soundtrack...

Monday September 20th. After the 8:30am pre-departure covid test in Bournemouth, that relieved my credit card of 189GBP to get a same day result, I picked up my youngest brother and we headed off to the Haynes Museum - for my third visit. I was pleased to see that several exhibits had been shuffled around since my previous visits and if nothing else, makes photographs slightly different even if the subject matter is the same.
Since the closure of the Donington Racing Car Museum late 2018, the whereabouts of many of the exhibits isn't known - well not to me anyway, but part of the extensive Williams F1 collection has found a home here.
The late John Haynes raced this Elva Courier.
There are some superb scale models on display. Chaindrive would be most impressed.
One of just 2 prototype Rover station wagons/estates. The other may be at Gaydon. Looks as though the load carrying capacity is way, way better than our SUV.

Thanks Rhys. Yes I snapped the Lotus 23... Only putting up 4 or 5 at a time.
Goodwood Friday (Qualifying)
I noticed this MG had an alternator, disc brakes and Minilite wheels. No doubt in NZ it wouldn't even have been allowed to run... More's the pity.
Brendon Hartley shared this Mini but it was one of the slowest in the field and no matter how good the driver, you can't overcome the lack of power in such a closely fought class. I thought that maybe Brendon might have scored a drive in one or two of the other classes. Maybe no-one knew he'd be available?

I have almost finished the cropping and now also sorting into the various race groups - and deleting duplicates (there are loads...).

I wanted to revisit Caister for photographs, as there are so many cars displayed that I'd never seen elsewhere and are therefore valid additions to my ever expanding library. Just as an example, these five pics are all American steam cars. Probably not top of my list in terms of interest, but some on here may appreciate them.
White Steamer
Stanley Steamer
Locomobile
A S A C Steamer
Doble E10
Skipping around a wee bit now, as i don't want to delay the final filing.
AC
Some less well known names - so I have labelled them...
Gilbern
Condor FJ
Mitter DKW FJ
Invicta
Brabham BRM - in the BRM parade
Ant Anstead riding shotgun I think. Part of the Stirling Moss parade
