Harewood Classic & Vintage 5th June 2021

Always the same at Harewood.

Blink and you missed it!

I blinked.

[mk1]

Bugger! Sorry you missed out again Pete!

In all fairness, it is a MUCH better system than a lot of places, You put your entry in & you get confirmation within a few days. That way you can plan your events out thoroughly. Mentioning no names, putting an entry in in March or April then not receiving any sort of confirmation that you are in until a week or two before an event is a total pain in the arse & makes knowing what events you are doing & not doing pretty much impossible.

As a rule of thumb I find that venues that are run by clubs to be very efficient & venues that are run by Ltd companies are less so.

Entries now closed.

Mark are they letting the public in ????.

[mk1]

Not sure yet, but I'll keep you posted.

Hi Folks,

I'm really sorry to have to let you all know that due to family stuff, I won't be able to attend Harewwood this year. Adam will be there, but running in his vintage Austin 7. The MK1 Cup will still be awarded as usual. Any cars running in C19 or 20 are eligible as long as they are on 10" wheels & standard treaded tyres.

I really sorry that I won't be there, but sometimes, other stuff has to take priority.

Regards,

mark F

Agreed Nick brilliant event. Looking forward to next year. Could not have asked for better weather.

Congratulations to Richard (Forum Dicky67) for coming first in The MK1 Cup

[Nick W]

Richard really is quick isn't he.
Here's my effort

Just skip to the start line

[GeorgeA]

Richard really is quick isn't he

He's been putting some good times in
He got his PB on Sunday 68.89

[Nick W]

He'll be giving Matt Clark a run for his money with those times!

[Dicky67]

Not sure I'm quite at his level yet. I've seen a video or two of his and his progress up a hill seems effortless. Mine seems all arms and legs and lots of swearing.

Good weekend though.

Nick you need to turn up more often and grind those times down. Your driving in the video looks good.

[Tim Harber]

In the slow lane at least I got a nice look at the scenery!

Shame about the Guru photobombing the last picture.

[mk1]

Thanks for those Tim!

So sorry not to have seen you.

The second picture is on the exact site of "Adam's Folly" where he wrote the Hornet off driving into the end wall of the farmhouse.

What diff are you running ? The NXG plate diff I fitted, has smoothed out my efforts, like you say just need more practice now .

[Dicky67]

Plated diff. George A will know!

A bit savage but you learn to hang on!!!

This was my PB on the Sunday. The only video I have taken so far that doesn't have swearing in it. Room for improvement when you watch it back and see what you were actually doing compared to what you think you were doing.

Get yourself back there in August and we'll have another crack at it.
