Steve,

I'm an AC owner and a Replica owner, some are funny, but there will be AC owners and some non-AC owners. The sprint is open to any AC Owner, not just AC cars.

I will be going, may be in the Modern Tintop or My AC Aceca as the Ace is not complete.

If anyone is going, come over and say Hi (Reg Number 152 PAA) I will down around 10am and gone by Midday (Got to take the kids swimming!!).

The racing is split into two sessions 10am until noon and then 1pm until 3pm. Will be some great cars.

John.

Hi dingocooke, I just got back from Goodwood, had a good day, must have been 15 plus replicas there, I drove in at about 9.40 and was asked if I would like to park in the pits with both original, and reps. and was made most welome.
I was waiting to get off the ferry, after our trip to Le mans some time ago and a cob driver shouted out "fake" I said I spent hundreds of hours creating this car cos I love Cobras, you just spent half an hour getting out your wallet.
However most drivers of original cars have made us welcome, and were interested in what we had under the bonnet.
Regards Frank Dowsett (BLOKE)

Nice one!!!

Frank,

Yep, it was a good one. I got in late, but enjoyed what I did see. Seems quite a good selection of cars in the pits. In some way for an AC or Cobra nut this is as interesting as Revival.

It is getting hard to tell replica's from AC's as the build quality is better on the replica's after the MkIV in my view.

Anyway, nice day out. I have some pictures will upload later.

Thanks

John.
