The weather is great! A little warm in the afternoons but the morning session today will be the one to set a good lap. Some very cool cars here. 2 old f1's. A lot of cup cars and gt3's.

Fair bit of traffic, but my guy did a few 1:59's. Twenty year old car with 150 bhp of Pinto power, a single 2-barrel Weber carb...

A lot of pretty cars, not a lot of very quick ones, but everyone having a great time and smiling!

I'd rather see pics of Sly instead of Clarke's video!

Wait, I'm going to see Sly in a few minutes at the drivers meeting.

Neither.

1991 Lola Sports 2000.

No wings, no tunnels, no dive planes. 1335 lbs with driver. 6" front wheel width, 8" rear wheel width. Spec class written in England in 1977. Largely unchanged since then.

It's a scalpel!
