a day at the races
#1
Good to see the VSCC got Mallory back on this year, even with covid,

Entry was limited, and there were alot less old cars in the parking areas.

But still a good day all round, watching the racing and talking to friends.

A few pics.

   

   

My favourite was probably this MG,

Just because it looked like someone had jumped all over it, then tried to put it back with there hands.

   

   

    ,

Good to see fellow austiners turn up in there Vauxhall 30/98s

Am I jealous, to right I am.

Although keeping an eye on the car through the day.

The little supersport had far far far more attention than the vauxaulls

   

Even a 30 minute rain storm didn't dampen the day.

It did make a couple of cars squirm around on the track though.

   

Always a tricky one?

Do you park under the tree for a bit of shade.

And take the risk of all that sticky sap dripping on the car.

Thanks for posting these pictures, events like this are the main thing I miss about the UK....and perhaps the country roads...but I digress
If I had a choice of those three cars Tony I would have picked yours no question, but then perhaps I am a weirdo.

BTW I see Mark Atkinson had Slippey Ann out recently for a shake down at another event, was anyone there to witness that?

The only thing  I miss in the uk is being able to go to events like this.
Oh and being able to get thing done cheaper than home.

I agree, although I would be very happy to take home the Alvis, the Talbot, or one of the Vauxhalls if Ian has first dibs! I'd even be prepared to have the tree-sap-covered Sunbeam!

The Back to the Track event at Curborough on Saturday attracted around thirty Sevens. A wide selection of models including two original EA Sports, The Forrest Special and Mark's Slippery Anne -  featured here. A great day and thanks to Charlie and Janine for so ably organising it.

           

More!

Know what you mean about the MG Tony.
So many restorations are just too neat...
