Fantastic run Tim and Cheryl! It was great to see you both, and I parked next to you on Saturday in the hope that your speed and success might be infectious
Just to put Tim and Cheryl's speed into perspective, we were pleased to make our fastest ever run through the Narrows, at the same 115mph that Tim considered slow!

Congradulations Simon,
You took 1st in your class didn't you? We had an abreviated awards meeting in Ely but I'm sure I heard your name. Lots of P cars this year, Porsches are coming back to the ORR venue.

It was great to see such a wide variety of Pcars this time. I don't know our position as we had to go straight home instead of attending the banquet. I *think* we were inside 0.5 seconds, so I was hoping we might get a decent result.

x3. LORD ALMIGHTY! Tim and Cheryl once passed me doing 165 while I was stuck at 145 due to some suspension problems. That was exciting enough for me.

Not driving, only as a navigator. She will start driving next year and work her way up as far as she wants to go.

Tim, can I borrow your navigator next year? I need someone to yell GOGOGO at me at those speeds.

Anders, Tim will be the navigator next year. I can't imagine what he'll be
yelling.... Anyway, you don't need anyone telling you to GOGOGO... You
do that well enough as it is.

So true, I spoke to Rich about navigating but I understand that he'd rather stay in a 928.

At least that's what he told me. Either navigate at 200 mph in mine or drive
his own at 165...
