VTV is looking well

Its stood the test of time very well Graeme, 18 years since it was painted and still looks good, and its still running the Mini Sport engine Daniel built for me back in 2002, untouched !!

Some great shots from Nick there. I've not looked at mine yet, maybe later.


Good days racing, and a bit of luck for Barry Sime in the second race when the Mustang of Mark Watts took at Richard Belcher in the Cortina. It was a case of an over ambitious move into Knickerbrook going horribly wrong. Watts came down the inside, Belcher moved across, Watts had to take to the curb and grass, got airborne and hit Belchers front wing, hard! The Mustang had broken steering and the Cortina had a bent upright and the wing had jammed the front tyre. After the safety car went in Barry Sime just had to hold off Steve Platts in the Imp for one lap.
