Big thanks to all members who supported our stand at Silverstone Classic, we had one car on Friday and three on Saturday and Sunday. We also had four cars on the Parade lap, thanks to Martin who had his car on another stand. Parade lap was amazing, the cars and racing were fabulous, weather was excellent, rock bands in the evening brilliant. The amount of interest in our A30 / A35's was phenomenal, spoke to several people who either wanted to buy one or had one in the garage that they are now keen to restore. Dave Clark's turbo engine generated huge interest as expected on Saturday. Best comment for me was from one of the marshals as we went in, nice to see an interesting car and not just another Porsche! I had thought that due to a general lack of interest from our members that we shouldn't do it again but the interest level over the weekend has really inspired me to have another go. We should aim to get a broader selection of our cars along with some more modified, HRDC and Hill Climbers come to mind. Anyway I'll put some effort into gauging interest before the end of the year and then make a recommendation based on this. Will also write something up with photos for the club magazine. :wave:

I should make it to next years, wanted to come this year but couldn't make it work out. Sounds like you've all had a good time though!

Thanks very much for sorting out the track parade Ed, really enjoyed that, plenty of waving and horn tooting as we went round! My car was parked on a specialist sportscar stand and there seemed to be more photos taken of the A35 than the others parked on the stand! Great event with some fantastic cars competing in the races. For those that haven`t been before it is definitely worth a trip next year..........Martin

Thanks Ed - another great weekend and with the bonus of a parade lap. Agree that there seemed to be a lot of interest in the cars - perhaps because they stood out amongst all the exotica!
