JUST A REMINDER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just wanted to remind everyone. Because I found out about Goodwood being on Speed, about three days after the fact, and haven't found anyone that taped it.

I just had my power turned back on after Isabel this morning! Is it going to be shown again?
Nice show (sorry...I did not tape it).
Rob Walton sure has some nice toys...GT40 # 1075, Cobra
Daytona coupe, etc.
Jim...do you know if Rob owns any Ferrari/Porsche racers?

I searched the Speed channel listing, and could only find one repeat showing.

I have not had time to see how my tape came out, but that may be another option.

He seems to have a lot of cars which he really seems to drive,race and enjoy. I don't know if he has P cars.

Last I heard Walton owns the one and only 412 MI Ferrari, a car whose engine began life in the 335S in which Fon de Portago, his co-driver and a number of spectators were killed in the last "real" Mille Miglia. He also owns a gorgeous 250LM and a Dino-engined sports racer (not sure of the I.D. on that one, but along the lines of a 246SP). Until last year he also owned one of the Corvette Grand Sports (the Sunoco-liveried roadster). Also owns the first Scarab sports racer (the one Lance Reventlow had briefly converted for street use), a whole bunch of Maseratis, and Lord knows what else.
I was disappointed in the Monterey coverage, personally. Very little on-track action, especially in the "feature" race of the weekend (the one involving the GT40s), which was given all of about three minutes of coverage. There are a lot of race groups at Monterey but it was a two-hour program, after all...

Re: two glimpses of J6 on the show...
I think I saw our own J6 two times on the show last night.... one shot of the right fender/head light area and then a nice side shot in the display area.... very cool, but I kept hoping to see it out on the track, maybe during a parade lap with the other notables.... either way, it was a good show with lots of GT40 action shots. Congrats to J6 on a fine showing!

Re: two glimpses of J6 on the show...
It was also in the Rolex Moment of time in the historic footage at LeMans. I don't know why they didn't show the MK-IV's and the other Historic GT40's on the track parade it was way cool. (There's a good shot of us on the track in this months ClassicCars)

Probably because Alan Decadenait (sp) prefers European cars
to crude American stuff...

Re: two glimpses of J6 on the show...not enough
I was hoping for more racing action but there are so many other races and celebrity drivers to feature 2 hours (less commercials) is not enough time. I bet they have ten times as much pre edited footage. Too bad they just do not broadcast one day live. If they can do six hours of Barrett-Jackson two days in a row why not some live action.

Re: two glimpses of J6 on the show...not enough
About four years ago Speed (then Speedvision) did some live broadcasts from Monterey. I recall that they were spread out over Saturday and Sunday and totalled something like six hours. It was really wonderful and I remember thinking that it might signal a new level of interest in televising vintage racing. The late Bob Akin was one of the commentators and his son, Bobby, also had a hand in it. I e-mailed them to thank them for their efforts and they responded enthusiastically. Unfortunately that experience was a "flash in the pan", as Speed has reverted to these heavily edited, commerical-packed two-hour programs. It's a shame that a premier event like Monterey doesn't offer a two- or three-hour DVD or videotape of each year's event, like the programs available on Goodwood's website (www.goodwood.co.uk).
