Does anyone have any details on this year's Festival of Speed...dates etc...
Sorry if this posting is a little off topic but it is one where other ppl
would be interested in seeing old cars driven in 'anger' and rubbing
shoulders with those Legends we keep on about :).  Thanks.

Their spirit today is dead, men say -
Dead as their stalwart frames -
Their *** now runs in idler sons,
Loving less manly games.
Can this be truth?  Arise, our Youth,
Rise in your strength, and show
By word and by deed
Ye are worthy seed
Of your Sires who drew the bow.

Hi JM.
I have been to every festival since they began. I think that is six in total
now. I can vouch for the event as completely essential. It is just a pity
that the last couple have been total mudbaths. Having said that, the sight
of John Surtees gunning it on two wheels at a time when the track was at its
wettest, and getting fastest time of the day will live in memory for a long
time.

The paddock is open to the public at all times (complete access) and there
are always wonderful sights. Wait till you stand next to a gp car as it is
fired into life. Words cannot describe it weather it is a Mercedes 196,
Vanwall, Maclaren M23 or a present day Williams.
Forget the GP (you wont get within a mile of a breathing car) we have Murray
and Martin at home for that.

For more info go to

regards

Mark

I wrote my name in dirt of the winning car at Goodwood last year. It was on
display, but they hadn't had time to clean it...Awesome machine.
