Shelsley Classic July 22/23rd

Fantastic event, I agree with Mark with the lack of runs , but as me being a muppet I only got one run on Sunday, (long story) trailer … lights !
Had to use the Rally GT as KECs new engine is finished but I didn’t want to put anyone under any pressure to get the other bits together and put in the car
Loved the runs in the rain on the Saturday really suited my car, two wet runs 4th and 5th fastest,
Dropped just outside the top 10 on the dry Sunday run, from 23 cars
Thanks to our good mate Mark with his double gazebo and then adding mine we were sorted for the weather either way
The Ralli 22 cars are always great to watch, and I just wandered round most of the days
Congrats to Matt, superbly driven as always,
Car of the event had to be Simon’s Buick Mini , what a thing ! , every time you look at it you see something new
Saturday night was a great laugh in the courtyard, plenty of banter, and a few to many sherberts !
Again new friends made and great to catch up with the old ones !
I’m still putting the pics on Flickr
I’ll send a link when done

Thanks for sharing Steve.

The long delay between runs on Sunday was deliberate - to compensate for courtyard activity on Saturday night.

Oh yes, we had to wake Mark up asleep in his car before the first run ! , bloody good night

I went on the Saturday - it was a shame about the weather, but still a great event. My 2 year old certainly enjoyed all the Minis, particularly the "light green one".

I only managed to grab a few snaps between showers (my choice of film camera may have been period correct, but rather less waterproof than most modern digital ones!), but here are a few I've just got back...

Nice pics Finchy!
