Back from a few days away. I'm now looking forward to the Goodwood Revival Friday but unfortunately, Saturday tickets sold out. I think Kevin from Waitemata VCC grabbed the last one! Moral being, book early. Really early...
I'm still loading pics from previous events and there is nothing new on the horizon now before September.

Reminds me of the first Corvette I saw in the metal. Sir Gawaine Baillie at Mallory Park.

Oh dear. How boring...

I think you will find the corvette is fibreglass not metal.
sorry ERC
Forgot about that! I initially typed 'in the flesh, then realised that wasn't right either. I never gave it a thought. Let's just say it was a figure of speech.

Rob Berggren in his own car rather than letting Bruce Manon have a run.

Hampton Downs regular Sunday Coffee & Classics meet isn't a patch on the much missed Smales Farms meets.

Hello Ray, when was the photo of the yellow Alfa taken?
If you run your mouse over any image I post, it should come up with the name. For the Alfa, that would then be:
224_0324_323 - in this case, that means 2024, March 24th, image number 323.

An archive dive - the date required if anyone can assist. 1984? 1990? But the actual date not known.

Shame they got the spelling wrong!

I gather that John Surtees is to be celebrated at the Goodwood Revival and also the Jaguar XK engine. Whilst trying to sort out some as yet not filed pics, I came across a Surtees displayed at the 1973 Racing Car Show. The quality isn't the best but I won't scrap it. I've added 3 other Surtees pics.

I've been having a bit of a trawl through pics I've scanned, but not filed, as there is some confusion as to what date they were taken.
Back in 1985, TACCOC issued printed numbers so that confirmed October 27th, but I'm guessing that the other film might have been October 13th but I can't be sure without an entry list.

A bit of memorabilia which is self explanatory. Mallory Park Nottingham Sports Car Club. Probably the most successful local car club in the country at the time. Only BRSCC and BARC were bigger.

And a publicity photograph that Dad's company took.

I have posted these on the Bob Homewood thread. I need an exact date for the first pic. The other two are 1986

Last post for a while. Only one day at the Goodwood Revival this time so I'll have to snap as much as possible. No other car stuff planned other than maybe another call in at Gaydon but the displays don't change much.
From the Goodwood FoS 2004. A film I hadn't scanned until yesterday.
76833
Two pics where I can't identify the make.

Fittingly, as John Surtees is to be celebrated at the Revival, 60 years after his F1 World Championship, he was at Goodwood FoS also with Honda.
76836
From Gaydon. A few days to go before Goodwood and still no entry list released.

Now home and wading through the photographs from Goodwood on the laptop. A lot of duplicates so there will have to be a lot of culling before they are finally labelled and filed. They are already labelled by date, many now sorted by make but not titled.
The structure of some aspects of the Goodwood Revival has changed and for me, not for the better.
There is just so much to see, on and off the track, that it is now impossible to see everything. In the site 'Across the Road', before entering the track itself, there are a load of stalls, selling anything from classic cars and recreations, to vintage clothing - and food of course. Once inside, there are even more trade/display stands, in several places plus the paddock area to explore.
The major problem now is that the 'Across the Road' area is open Thursday afternoon from 4pm - for ticket holders only. Having just a one day ticket, means that I cannot call in on the Thursday afternoon with my wife.
Then on race day, the outer gates open at 7:30am, but access across to the track is limited to GRRC members until 8:30am. Needless to say, there is then a queue and the track parades start at 9am, so virtually no chance to visit anything before finding a space, be that in a stand, or trackside somewhere. This time, we headed for a stand to try and keep dry, but I had to keep venturing out to take pics whilst the other 3 sat and shivered!
Friday is my favourite day because all race groups get to practice, so track action is fairly continuous right up until the end of race one at about 7pm, so not much time to visit anything without missing out on track action. The other point is that there is always attrition, so I actually take photographs right from the first practice lap.
Luckily for me, I got plenty of ERA GP2 going really well in the wet, as on race day, the car broke a supercharger chain jest before flag fall. There is always attrition at any event, historic or modern, but two stars stood out for me.
The first was one of the most talented and spectacular drivers usually in a Frazer Nash, but this time, driving the monoposto Frazer Nash. Opposite lock coming out of the chicane even on lap one in the wet.
Check out YouTube though for Richard Woolmer in the Austin Healey 3000 drifting through Woodcote. At that point, we were in the stand just before the entry and the crowd cheered every time he went through - even when he did spin!
Photos to follow.
This year, the rain was bad enough to flood the pedestrian tunnel from Lavant straight to the inside.
I didn't even get the time to see all the of the paddock before we left just as race one was starting, (there were four of us) but that meant we were able to escape the car park without any queues and 40 minutes later we were back at Port Solent. Tired, damp, fairly cold and hungry.
If I manage to go again (each year I say it may be my last!), it will have to be two days, which was the plan for this year, but Saturday tickets had sold out early and I missed out. Travelling on my own also means I can scuttle around without any delays or having to consider anyone else, which is my preference. I didn't manage to see all race groups and pics of the 1.5 litre F1 cars were taken from a moving, bumpy, tractor trailer!
With six weeks away, only two days were wet and needless to say, one was Friday at Goodwood. Last year it was Shelsley Walsh.
First batch from a wet and miserable Friday at Goodwood. A Kiwi connection in each...

Saw a video of the drifting Austin Healey - brilliant
The hard work begins. I've renumbered over 1200 from Goodwood, plus the Gaydon visit, and culling/filing has commenced.

As the Lavant tunnel was flooded, we hopped on the tractor/trailer and trundled round to just beyond Madgwick, but it was a very slow, very bumpy ride. The 1.5 litre GP cars were out on track so I tried to grab pics as best I could. Not easy!
