Absolutely love those piccies from the track  8)

The kiddies microscooter race was good , especially the way Bob set it up to be like a triathlon style event.

Another good memory from the day was watching the determined Raleigh Chopper owner pedal his way up Test Hill using a zig zag technique.

If the track was wider we could have tried the same  ;D

Fantastic Video and Pics.

Gutted that last minute home crisis stopped me from going as would have loved to see challenger in action.

Some good footage there mate, nice to see it on You Tube so quick as well   ;))

It was good fun building the project C5 - I was determined to restore the c5's honour after so many brave (but failed) attempts ;D

We always enjoy our time at Brooklands so please pass on my thanks to all the volunteers that help the events run so well  8)
