HSCC Silverstone Finals Video and Pictures (With More Pics)

Post by surfblue63 »

Last weekend saw the final round of the HSCC Championships. The day started very wet so the Minis got in amongst the bigger fish. Come the race, however, it had dried out, so all the Fords went off in the distance leaving the Minis and Imps to do battle.



Here's Tim Harbers on-board footage...

...and in the meantime (I haven't got through editing them all) are a couple of shots of Tim doing battle.

I'll post some shots up more up once I have edited them all.

Couple of nice moments in my footage for those who can't face the whole thing

5.50 - Cortina comes down the inside and attempts to outbrake and out corner the littlest car in the wet
19.00 - Jason Brooks does a "Brian" behind me - see mirror

Good miss with the spinning Tina, what a shame about the (non) restart Tim! That yellow Anglia like to use all of the track I've noticed!

Nice vid Stu as usual.

Cortina moment caught (just). Stolen from elsewhere

Thought the motor might be cooked or worse

Just loaded up my shots of the HSCC Silverstone Finals.

First up are a couple of things that were parked up.

Patina'd Anglia complete with D1s, red oxide arches, roll cage and Peco Big Boy exhaust.

Great shots and vids.
Thanks Stu, I missed you and Tim, but I was there.
Cant believe how fast the Anglia is and I love the auto air/con ie flexing windows down the straights. :lol:

Tim and I wondered whether you were around Mike. Perhaps we can meet up at next years opener at Donington.

It's been a good season even with the reduced grids, and we have had a fair few wet rounds which saw some good results for the Minis.
