Yes, and all lovely clean passing you notice!!!!!!!Can be done, so long as everyone is looking in their mirrors.

Even the great Jody Schecter said.......'some of these drivers think their mirrors are for shaving'.........amen to that!!

Indeed Gerald. And where did that huge ding in the side of the Gimblett Camaro come from, was that another day? Or maybe better off not spoken of? A racing incident..... I thought of the 3 races shown in the meagre 23 minutes HMC was easily the best show. And as for Woody's slides. +5!

In the latest Classic and Sports Car mag, April issue, there is a write up and pictures from this meeting. Including a picture of Angus and Dale. Page 20. Also some eye watering cars for sale. Another Lotto ticket.

Thanks for that Beowulf.......the advantages of having the local news agent who is also a motorsport enthusiast.

I like the description that accompanies the picture........quote.....'Angus Fogg was trying everything he knew to pull off an upset with his Cooper S. He even nudged his front wing during one audacious overtaking move'.......

'Nudged'......what a glorious word. According to the Concise Oxford....'to prod gently to attract attention; a light touch or push!!!!!!!
A bit different from Murray Maunders...quote.....'a huge ding in the side of the Gimlet Camaro'.

I'm sure Murray there was fault on both sides, certainly according to a number of amateur photographers who witnessed the 'nudge', and that the Jury is out on that one. The thing is that Mr Gimlet could have swept past the Cooper S on the straight with ease, so there was no need to get defensive in that corner.

As Howard says, he works his arse off getting ahead in the twisty bits, then come the straights its all over, with all that bellowing horse-power swallowing you up..........
.....Do horses 'bellow'......maybe it should be 'neighing'.!!!!!!!!!!!!
