Looks like he was looking the other way while marshalling and was hit by an errant Galaxy.
Cheers - Phil B.

It's only ten days until the next Goodwood night, so get your entries in, lads and lasses.
Confirmed so far are Dave, Alan, and Peter. So come on Jim, Steve, Geoff, Scott, and anyone else who wants to join in; let us know if you can make it. -------------------- Getting old is when you stop watching Formula 1, and start falling asleep without any help.

Trouble is the Liphook "Goodwood" night is two days later on the 11th. I know Geoff is keen to race at Daves on a "once-a-month" basis. I'll check with Steve next Thursday, but our priority is to get him to come to the Liphook night. I hope to do both and it does help that the race transporter (case) can be loaded once for two events

Put me back on." Bubba Johnson Junior the third "That's not a Stewart tartan!" R. Counter "I don't care what it looks like, as long as it makes me look fast!" S.C. Moron |

As my return to the Surrey/Hants region looks assured before Christmas, I'd very much like to join you chaps as often as possible.
Lots of pre-66 stuff can be present and correct whenever the call to muster is heard. Looking forward to not being the only slot racer in the country! --------------------  |

You will be more than welcome, driver#8. It will also be nice to "chew the fat" with a fellow NASCAR enthusiast.

I thank you!
Sadly the NASCARs are heading for eBay as we speak. I've got rather too accustomed to going sideways at a gentler pace. Blame it on Junior's late-season slump and my affair with Penelope Pitlane... -------------------- |

Geoff has confirmed his entry today.
Don't worry Jim, he's still going to Liphook on December 11th. -------------------- Getting old is when you stop watching Formula 1, and start falling asleep without any help.

Very doubtful for me. Be sure to post pictures to make me envious.

Following the continuing success of our Goodwood themed nights, the third one will be held at 7:30pm on Tuesday 13th January 2009.
Entry fee for this wonderful night of fun is a mere £3.00! There are now six classes, so every driver will take part in 24 races. The classes will be as follows: Rear engined GP cars 1960 - 1967 Fifties Tourist Trophy Saloon cars up to 2 litres, 1960 - 1967 Front engined post war GP cars Front engined Tourist Trophy 1960 - 1964 Pre war GP Hard bodies only. Wheels, tyres, chassis, guides, and motors are free choice, but remember this is a "Spirit" of Goodwood night. We're only here to have fun. -------------------- Getting old is when you stop watching Formula 1, and start falling asleep without any help.

Well Scott, you missed a great night. We had so much fun that we ran another three classes (12 races each) at the end. Who knows how much longer we would have stayed if Dave's wife hadn't (quite rightly) kicked us out!
As requested, here are some pics: Sixties F1, including Geoff's Monogram Ferrari  Small Saloons  Large Saloons  Rear Engined Sports Prototypes  Pre War GP  At the end of the evening I made a fool of myself by saying that the Jag XK120 never took part in the TT. Of course, it won the 1950 and 1951 TT's at Dundrod! In mitigation, I have done some research and can now say "The XK120 never raced in a TT at Goodwood". We will still allow them, though. -------------------- Getting old is when you stop watching Formula 1, and start falling asleep without any help.

Nice grids!
The split saloon classes look more... proportionate, although it was a hoot to see the Abarth run next to the Galaxie. -------------------- |

As five classes seems a bit mean, especially for those who have to travel a long way to attend, we have decided to add a sixth class for the January meeting. Provisionally this will be for pre war GP cars, unless anybody has a strong objection.
