With only days to it all comes together, I noticed my credit card has been charged by the weather god and funds have been withdrawn.

The weather is looking first rate.  Sunny all around and looking to be a fantastic event for competitors, officials and spectators.

Bring your sunnies, SPF 30 and hat and lets go racing.

See you all there.

Just a quick report for now.

Event ran in brilliant sunshine both days, with a fantastic sight greeting all, a low hovering light mist in the morning across the field as you drove towards the circuit which cleared as you arrived.  Brilliant driving by all, great club level camaraderie, I lent out brake pads, oil filter and even someone scavenging a brake switch from me after my car broke terminally.  Others saw many other parts borrowed and lending a hand at getting cars going as well.  Brilliant.  This is what the event is about.

Special thanks to all the flaggies, race safe, pitlane, check-in, Scrutineering, catering, safety car, and my fellow race control officials who made it all run so smoothly on the weekend. And of course to the drivers and team members who participated with the right balance of fun and focus.
