Really enjoyed the meeting today chaps. Nice relaxed atmosphere. Some great racing and a very close finish in the 1/24. Brilliant. Thanks to Graham for doing the race results and to Alan for letting me the use of his throttle and 1/32 Ferrari GTO and Tony for his Matich 1/24 after my own Ferrari packed up into its second race.

Chris.

Great day - the best Summer Classic since I started racing again. Thanks to Alan for organising the meeting and to Graham for unravelling the mysteries of our new software.

Thanks to everyone who attended particularly those from other clubs who made the effort to come along. Hope to see you all and possibly one or two more next year.

Also if any of our members fell a bit nostalgic there are some pics of the ninco track we used to have and the four camper vans with trailers I made for one of our special nights feel a bit older seeing those though

Hi David,

Many thanks for posting Chris's pictures. As I said in my previous posting, there were some fantastic cars. Surprise of all was Steve's 1/24th Ford P68. I can't even remember seeing one of these back in the 70's.

Top quality cars and top quality racing.

Thanks to everyone for a great day.

Graham
