Triumph TR6 2548 Jim Johnstone

Jim was a mate of my Dad's back in the early 60's and has been competing at Harewood every year since. He is something of a Harewood legend & I am sure he will have some great stories. He will also be about 7 seconds quicker than I have ever gone up the hill :oops:

For those people who are going to bring their car to the club stand. I STILL haven't received any tickets, I have been trying to contact the organisers since Monday, but no luck yet. Will keep you posted.

Please get back to me asap. either by email or if you could give me a ring on 0800-forster it would be appreciated.

Thanks,

It's looking like we will have to give them out on the day.

There won't be enough time for me to post them out, assuming I do receive them tomorrow.

I'll text when I get to the gate, probably about 8:30. Do you have a drivers briefing, what time is the first run?

By the look on Riches face that canned stuff real does look like it made from Rossi's piss.

Some interesting cars on display, and a few whizzing up the hill as well.

Unlucky for Mark and Adam with the diff going south in the Wolseley.

I'll post up some snaps in the next day or so.
