Unlikely to make it now I'm afraid Andy.

Thanks for sorting though.

We have also been allocated one place each day for the parade laps on Saturday and Sunday.

Just got back from Donington. There were only 2 cars on our pitch, mine and Graham Thewlis's pale blue 289. I'd not met Graham before or seen his car. He didn't originally build his car, but he's done quite a bit to it since acquiring it, including respraying it pale blue and fitting a wraparound racing screen, which looks really good and very period. Well done Graham and we'll hopefully see you at Silverstone.
Apart from the on track action, there wasn't really much else to see and after a promising start, the weather produced snow, hail and rain in equal measures. Depending on the weather when I get up, I may go again tomorrow.

According to the info I received, there were 5 cars booked for Saturday, 4 for Sunday and one for Monday.
Maybe not get involved next year.

Hi Andy,

Graham's 289 was the only car on the pitch on Sunday. The weather didn't look too promising, so I decided to give it a miss.

Dave Hill went on Saturday, but his Cobra was poorly, so he went in his tin-top. Nigel Pittard (agnoraan) went on Sunday, but the poor weather persuaded him to take his tin-top as well.
