Gerald- your FIGJAM never goes amiss.
Always happy to find ways to stop you getting old.
Is it a family recipe passed down from father to son in the traditional way?.
Now getting back on track, tell us about G.Fogg and his performance with the MK 4 at the concourse around 1970-according to Motorman there was FIGJAM there also.
Or do we need a new thread for that and let this thread get back to Teretonga

Unfortunately most people don’t seem to get it about Historic and Classic racing!

The more ‘wrong’ cars you allow in to race, the more ‘right’ cars stay away next time!
O
ver and over again you hear that the promoter has had to let in non-confirming cars because numbers are down, when in reality taking a stand may be tough the first year, but would reap benefits in the years to come.

Short term gain for the promoter, but long term deficit in the fields in the future.
Most people want a level playing field in largely the correct field of cars that gives everyone their place in the structure.

There are some people who obviously don’t care about inequality and will just race, but the majority of us are like children who quickly cry “not fair, not fair!”, and end up taking the toys away.
