Have fun David, I refused to pay £170 for 6 miles on track. I've got a charity day at NW instead.

Used to live a couple of hundred yards from the main entrance to Brands in my youth so could not miss a return to my spiritual home. I see TWMC is hosting a second round of the British National Sprint Championship which must be quite a feather in its cap. It has also ensured a full entry. Another bumpy day for you then :)

Yeap, in aid of a children's hospice.

Yup -- quite a challenge, David. And one out of which I have wump (by mentioning the "quaintness" to Gary). The 2 litre Westy might have been difficult to beat ;) .

This Oxfordshire lad doesn't understand your Sufflok lingo, what does "wump" mean :?: Although I get the drift.

Conjugation of "to wimp out", David -- perfect tense ;)

No wonder I had so much trouble with English O Level all those years ago :oops:

'Stonishingly -- the weather held.

Deecee and I enjoyed a dry (and initially sunny) morning at what must be the prettiest circuit in the UK.

Times were not the fastest on record (track "green" after considerable Saturday rain), but Brands is always a considerable challenge :D

Indeed a very enjoyable day. I managed to leave without the time sheets so will have wait till they appear on the web site. I do know that, unsurprisingly, you were first in class David. I used to live a couple of hundred yards (or metres for the younger member) from the entrance to Brands in the 50s and 60s so claim it as my spiritual home. Oulton Park runs it a close second though.
