I took at trip down for the HSCC Season Opener and to give Tim Harber a bit of support. The promised rain never showed up which was good for the spectators but not for the Minis. For a bit of variety a few of the Class B Guards Trophy Sports cars joined in with the Touring car.
The usual class D suspects of Harber, Godfrey, Flynn and Morgan were out along with Masters driver Steve Jones and new boy Tom Westley in Appendix K. Practice was on a slightly damp track with Godfrey setting best time for the Minis. Peter Morgan suffered clutch problems and Tim Harber had a bit of rough running.
In the race Rodger Godfrey was untouchable, Harber and Morgan had a bit of a battle before Tim went onto to three cylinders. Peter Morgan almost got to the end but on the final lap the engine developed a problem which I'm told was as a push rod problem. Steve Jones eventually passed Tim Harber. Tom Westley had a near miss went the Imp of Simon Benoy spun in front of him and Colin Flynn spent the race dicing with the Porsche 911 of Jim Cambell.

Here's a couple of shot from practice taken from the pit entry grandstand. For some reason the infield was closed to spectators on Sunday. I guess it was to do with them finally getting round to landscaping the bank that over looks Starkys.

GLORIOUS PICS AS ALWAYS!

Race shots now taken from the outside of Craner.

And for those who like to view life through sepia tinted lenses

May be not for variety more to make up the grid to cover the organisers costs, is this a trend that we will see more of in HSCC, hope not?

Brilliant... Everything

Cars,pics, weather, the fact they are still out competing, the fact that folks can still race them.

Well done to everyone involved.

Keep up the good work..

Thanks for sharing the photos! Lovely stuff - I like the Mustang spitting flame
