HSCC Finals, Silverstone, Saturday 9th October, 2010.

1) The BBC said today would be 20 degrees with sunny spells. Read the details in this shot for the true picture (excuse the pun).

















2) This F5000 Lola isn't racing today. Perhaps they need a driver? Howard is ever-hopeful.





3) Having emailed Sidge the best we can offer is that these two-thirds sized multi-coloured tennis balls stuffed down the trumpets of a Ford Anglia's engine are there to keep anything nasty from getting in whilst being worked on. Could be.

4) If it wasn't for the 'last minute' nothing would get done, eh?

5) A happy marriage of olde and new technology.
6) Vicky's Uncle Stan had a car like this. Guess which car we will be supporting in the Saloon Car Race?
7) The track is nice and greasy now (yes, it's drizzling - so much for those 'sunny spells') and nippy little European cars are harassing big lumbering American ones around the twisty bits. It's tantamount to cheatin', you know.
8) This year's obligatory shot of a rather splendid Lola T400. This one...........shock-horror...........is being driven by a woman (Judy Lyons)!
9) Some of us are still able to smile in the face of a stiff-easterly and an ongoing lack of 'sunny spells'. But only just.

10) Oh it's alright for some (Alexander Boswell). Drifting their Costin Nathan (whatever that is) through Becketts in a nice comfy-cosy enclosed cockpit.
11) It's gone five o'clock and the few hardy souls remaining are looking forward to leaving Silverstone in search of those elusive 'sunny spells' the BBC confidently predicted this morning.
12) When we get home Emlyn is standing guard over his auto-feeder-thingy. He's had two meals from it already and he knows another one's on the way: and he's not for shifting.
