As Jools hinted on another post - Roy and I missed the Aston Martin Sprint at Goodwood yesterday - to take part in a spped event in Suffolk.
This was to be a high speed event - where you try to get a max speed from a standing start over about 1.3 miles with 0.5 mile to slow down. Sound interesting?

Roy had spent some time fettling a front splitter and also made some straight through pipes - hmmmm - LOUD! and with this in mind we were somewhat hopeful of a quick run.
60 car max entry of which no more than 10 can be non-Jaguar - so an Aston Martin Vantage, a couple of TVRs, a couple of Ferrari's - should be fun - then along comes a Jaguar XJ220 - Hmmmm - that should be quick - and it was!
Roys car sitting nice and quiet...
