Goodwood "themed" night

Now you've got your regular night set in the calendar how about setting a date for a classic night.

4th November would be good for me and I mentioned it to Steve & Geoff last night at Liphook.

4-6 classes - depending on numbers - based on grids from any of the Goodwood Revivals. Saloons, Front engined GP, 60's GT, 50's Sports etc. That sort of thing anyway. Keep it fairly open, ruleswise, so as to let homebuilts and modified stuff to run. As long as they look OK.

Whaddya think?

me neither, i think it ll just be entertaining to have a mini 'revival' of our own! i m a massive fan of the goodwood revival, definatly my motoring highlight of the year, i was going to say its my highlight of 2008 as a whole but then i remembered my 2nd son was born in march so i guess that comes first

i love all the 'real' cars, modern motorsport does nt interest me really, considering most the cars have more technology in them than the first rocket that went to the moon! i reckon if you put lewis hamilton into an older car and he would nt have a clue how to drive it! he certainly would nt have the skill, but hey thats another subject! oh and the other good thing about goodwood is the 'glam cab' girls, anyone who went will know what i mean! although i found the old men letching over them a bit sickening lol (the girls being more my age)


i m not sure if i d enjoy the girls more or the cortina!!! hang on what am i saying.....


shall i see if i can round them up as marshalls for the 11th

as far as i know, all the 'classic' modern released gt40s are the mk2 cars, the 'modern' modern cars being ford gt's not gt40s

my personal opinion would be that the 330p and chapparal would be ok to run, as they are in keeping with the era, and i m sure if any where to enter then they d run them at the revival, and it would be good to have as much variation in the cars we are running, without, of course going out of keeping with cars of that era,

i m hoping my ocar triumph spitfire le mans 1965 turns up in time as i m matching a few of those cars dave! (not in colour but certainly in make!) hopefully my monogram 250 gto lm will turn up, but that needs a chassis. i m thinkin of getting a swb 250gto, although i d prefer an aston martin db2, but i can t find one!!!
