SEMSEC @ Lydden Hill, Kent - 2nd June

Joffan · 2nd of June 2007 (Sat)

Evening all,

On a spur of the moment thing I thought I'd head to Lydden Hill in Kent for a day in the sunshine. The meeting was a real grass roots clubbie with sprinting in the morning and then 10 races packed into the afternoon with a real mix of cars.

As usual I caught up with Martin - thanks for the loan of the spare card - and had a natter. Interesting track to shoot. Suprised I don't see more of you guys there. No catch fences anywhere!

Here's a few to comment on. DTM next weekend. Slight culture shift...

1. Caterham's galore

2. This car was probably full height once

3. "I'll be fine unless I hit the... oh" (BTW, nice legs Martin)

4. Another Caterham

5. MG's up Hairy Hill

That'll do cos it's late and I'm tired!

Thanks for looking guys

JB

Hey Jon nice work. Good to see you again it was a real scorcher of a day and the racing wasnt to bad either.

At least i have the decency to keep my legs covered

Nice shots Jon. I really like #5.

cool shots, specially #4. Never been to Lydden Hill, does the track have a web site showing dates for upcoming races? looks like a cool track.

Spend most of my time at Brands as i live on the doorstep, seriously looking forward to DTM, already booked off Friday!

Lydden is like Brands Hatch thats been peeled off its current location, scrunched up a little bit and then boil washed to 2/3rds the size, and put down near Dover in a timewarp of about 20 years ago.

I love the place. No pitlane and hardly any armco. Just grass banks!

There's a meeting there in mid-July that I know of. And they're always short of marshals so you could always try your hand at that for a day!

Thanks for the comments guys. And thanks for the photo Martin. I'll get you back this weekend!

Thanks
