We've had a couple of these out at B19 events -- beautiful but seriously slow. Hope yours is better

This is an old post David but looking back at our results that day , he was clocking 97.5secs best so 1.5secs behind me
While I'm reminiscing ---- my old adversary , Andy Silman/SILTECH RACING was doing 92.9secs standing start laps and 87.9secs flying laps in 2006 when double lap sprints were held , in his 258bhp Westy plus he weighed around 17stone
He's been out of competition since his young family arrived and moving to Norfolk but intends getting back in again soon
He normally enters road going kits so that will stir things up some

Why did they stop the double lap sprints? sounds like a good idea.

Last time I saw Andy, he was doing a reasonable impression of a brand new father (quite incongruous really) -- it'll be great to have him back

Sound db's are extremely strict at Goodwood due to the automated reporting system --- ''direct to county offices when the around track sensors kick off '' If that happens , Lord March would lose his licence to run races at Goodwood circuit and that would lose him a fortune '' REVIVAL''
They have found the 2 laps just set the sensors off so you only get 2 for practice now --- one for timed runs
