Re: Southern Festival of Speed.

M8E,M6B and Lola T163 in full flight approaching the end of the front straight (apparently somewhere around 160-180 mph! Awesome). Yes, the wee Anglia is a 1640cc pushrod - but it flys. It was having a great dice with a MkII Lotus Cortina and a Vauxhall Firenza until it dropped a cylinder. As for V8s there used to be an Anglia Corvette, originally raced by Alex Dickie and later by Neil Doyle of Methven. The story goes that Neil used to test it on the 13 mile long straight that runs past the family farm and regularly top 160mph. The good old days. He'd be shot for trying that now.... I wonder what ever happened to it.
