I'm not that long home from the first day of actual racing, in the spec class - I'm sunburnt but happy, even though I didn't race, being a touring car newb (next year...)

Well done to Alan Bickerstaff for winning all three A finals, and commiserations to all those who left expensive debris on the track (I witnessed one car managing to get over a 2 foot high perimeter fence!)

We even drew a small audience of passing dog walkers, surprised at how fast toy cars could go...

Took lots of photos, caught quite a few crashes on camera, including a perfectly-focused, airbourne Jim Lee XRay...:p (pictures to follow)

I even won a prize in the raffle (an Xmod Honda Civic!)

Good Gallery Keith....weekend was a great sucess I thought and the racing in the "A" Finals was superb.

Haven't quite sorted the gallery yet, but here are a few choice ones:

Alan Bickerstaff's TC5

Jim Lee crash 1, part I
Jim Lee crash 1, part II

My favourite shot of the day (Lee Cutler's TC5 in the lead)

Jim Lee crash 2, part I

Carnage!

Jim Lee on the track, for a change

Check out post #7 above - Jim was delighted to have his talents show-cased...

Edit: That's only one of the crashes, here's the other:

1st report is at 22min 30 sec
