Racing from Thruxton

[despot]

Judging by the other posts, it looks like Thruxton had the best of the Bank Holiday weather :-P The BARC raceday had possibly the most varied collection of hardware I've seen on track ...

Hi Andy, I see the MG's are as agressive as ever. We had superb weather at Oulton Park and some great racing. Even picked up a bit of a tan, which is more than can be said for the boys at Harewood and Croft. We had the Silhouette boys who make the MG drivers look tame. :)

Woo hoo

Excellent images overall but 41400124 is a bit of a let down with the black car predominating the image whilst out of focus IMHO.

Nice shots.

After freezing at Donington on Sunday I was pleasantly surprised to be greeted with warm sunshine at Thruxton on Monday :cool: , shame it was at the wrong angle over at the complex:( ;)

Nice photos and glad to hear you had the nice weather:evil: Steve Dillon's MKI Escort looks fantastic.


Cheers

Nice shots, Andy. Talking of Thruxton at the weekend, round at the Complex the Caterham boys were getting a little tangled up.

The liquid is petrol (gasoline for our American friends) from the #49 car's ruptured tank.

Yoh Cadwell, lovely capture. No smoking around there for a while then. The Caterham boys at Oulton were far better behaved. More civilized up here you know. Very big grids and not a lot of contact.

Thanks guys.

Barry - Maybe a tighter crop on the red car would work better ... I liked it :razz:

Ken - Yup, the MGs were very entertaining.

Glenn - Nice catch. I thought you were going to Combe otherwise I'd have given you a shout. (Just browsed your latest EERC pics - 8)8)8) )

[Cadwell]

Hi Andy, well we were thinking about Combe but the Thruxton line up looked interesting and of course I get a discount ;) As for the EERC stuff, that poor little F40 :cry:

Ken: the fire truck did a good job of hosing down the track and the marshals were as efficient as ever so there wasn't much of an interruption. Just time for a quick cup of coffee and then the fun started again.

I love the first shot.

I own a Morris Minor convertible, but I have never seen a Minor racing before.

Superb.
