Re: Brighton & Hove Sprint 4th August

Yes, Nad and I are in Class 4 together with a mixed bag of tricks, anything from Mazda's to Ferrari's with a few Morgan's thrown in for good mesure. All the 40's are in Class 8 together with Dave's R42 and Ian is in Class 9. Really looking forwards to trying the CC round Goodwood, lets hope it stays dry!

Re: Brighton & Hove Sprint 4th August

Well - they all did very well.....

Taking first or second in class across three classes - a total of 5 Awards

A few pics from the day.

Re: Brighton & Hove Sprint 4th August

The Victors..

Dave Parker (R42) - Ian Catt (OMS Suzuki) - Rodger Burston (GTD40) - Bjorn Arnils (Comp Coupe) - Nadine Geary (Comp Coupe).

Not forgetting Martin Weigold (GTD) - Ray Christopher (GTD40 Spyder) - Roy Wing (GTD40 Spyder) - who also all put in good times, but not quite quick enough to pip those below.....

Re: Brighton & Hove Sprint 4th August

Thanks for the pics, Paul. I must say it was very much like the good old days with so many club cars and drivers on such a hot sunny day. We all had a great time together and the banter and easy rivalry was huge fun, must do more of this in the future, and get more cars and drivers involved again. Frank

Re: Brighton & Hove Sprint 4th August

Looks to have been a superb day - shame I missed it, I will try not to next year!

My car is now back together, thanks to help from Frank - just needs testing, look forward to seeing you all at Brighton and Longleat if I get in!
