  Hmm, in a similar vein to previous race reports I would like to say
that the triumphs were all conquering but sadly no!

Well, that's not totally true!  The TR 4-6 team appeared to do well and
Joe Hendersons was amazing Very fast (giving race e-types a
thrashing)and amazingly loud! There was a 3 spit and 3 GT6 team which
did last the 6 hours.

You might be able to detect a sort of cloud over this race report!
Probably due to the performance of the TSSC team! In the time it took me
to have lunch (couple of sandwiches) 5 out of their six spits had
retired! The TSSC pit area looked like an explosion in one of kipping's
barns!  Gearboxes all over the place. A lack of serious prep appeared to
be the problem here (so I'm told!!). I did notice myself though that
perhaps you wouldn't leave it until the race day to try and find a
suitable rear view mirror....

Ho Hum nearly worth travelling all that way for!
