The Autumn American Classic, Prescott: Saturday, 30th September, 2017.

10:00-ish:
Raining when we left home at 9,
but it's nice here.
Can't last, of course.
Enjoying the sunshine and a cuppa tea at the Paddock Cafe.
1976 Group II Camaro of the type pedalled by 
Stuart Graham back in the day.
Indian 'bikes on display.
10:30-ish:
Raining a little bit now.
National Chopper Club display.
Just the job for cruisin' down to Cornwall 
later on for a touch of surfin'.
Still raining a touch.
10:45-ish:
Rain's stopped, sun's out and the paddock is drying out 
nicely under a blanket of autumnals.
Ah, memories, memories.
Meanwhile, there's a hill climb taking place on a greasy surface 
which catches quite a few out further up the hill 
under the trees as the morning proceeds.
Howard shows loyalty to a British marque.
Talking down to the RNLI-people?
Vicky and her big trucks Pt 3,745.
Meanwhile, back at the hill climb……..
….another actual hill climb car is hurtling up the hill climb.
The Malvern Hills from Pardon Hairpin.
1:00pm-ish:
It's the lunch break and it's time for the Paddock Display Parade.
Vicky - we need a wider lens!
Steam powered?
Now we've seen everything.
Lunchtime jivers.
Slightly past their best.
2:00pm-ish:
The Lunch Break is almost over and it's time for a demonstration 
run by the Penske PC93 which finished 11th in the 1993 Indy 500.
It's quick, it's noisy and it's spectacular.
If only that weather was heading our way.
 This is the weather heading our way.
Time for a quick exit.

Fit Bit stats today:
David: 8,121 steps, 3.83 miles, and 26 stairs.
Vicky: 9,600 steps, 4:00 miles, and 59 active minutes.
