Castle Coombe

[JERRY KNIGHT]

Good to see some of you are down to race at Castle Coombe on Monday. Some of you (Tony, Andy and John)are even joining in with the SRGT. marvelous . interesting grid , Porsche , ferrari, mustang , MORGAN, JAGUAR , Cobra . i am almost tempted just to watch . See you all there.

[Chris Acklam]

I am definitely watching...

Antone else arriving on Sunday (besides Andy & Tony)?

[TonyLees]

Racing is much more fun than testing
Looking forward to my first SRGT race.
I'm there on Sunday too (in case there's another Tony).

[JERRY KNIGHT]

as I remember Andy came 3rd and didnt your (Tony ) clutch fail in practice?

[TonyLees]

yes, last year not a good event for the yellow peril. It did however give me the opportunity to watch the excellent racing - those class A mogs are on a different planet!
It was only after the car had been put back on the trailer that I was told that the history of the car included being the only Morgan to have exploded in flames at a race meeting and that being at Castle Combe!
3rd time lucky?

[JERRY KNIGHT]

cracking race , i think i enjoyed the morgan race almost as much as driving the SR&GT race, Tony the way you coaxed Chris to try overtaking on the grass was just superb, I guess its probably a bit smoother off the tarmac. The class A morgans aught to race the Cobras

[TonyLees]

cracking indeed
glad to have laid the CC ghost to rest by breaking the throttle in practice thereby allowing me the chance to keep those pesky mogs behind me in the races. great to see you again jerry, thanks for your help in spotting the exhaust problem before it became one.
yup those class a mogs should be good against the cobras.
see you at brands,
cheers, tony

[Chris Acklam]

Yes, an absolutely great race. I must try and 'coax' Tony into that sort of move myself...

The Class A Mogs used to race the Cobras (and the quick Bs) quite regularly. It was a fantastic spectacle.

apologies for the poor sound quality.

Cheers, Tony

[Chris Acklam]

Damn, it stopped just when you were doing your 'coaxing' - highly suspicious elimination of the incriminating evidence, if you ask me.

The reverse angle is here

Watching it, I still keep thinking he's going to make it past me "this time" but he never does

Thanks to Chris and Tony for the great films

I have now learnt where to find at least 2 secs at CC!

Roll on next year

[TonyLees]

I have now learnt where to find at least 2 secs at CC!
