What a fantastic event it was, except for the horrid weather we had on Friday and Sunday. Friday was particularly bad, which was a shame since 10 Vees got to take to the track on a Parade Lap of the Silverstone F1 Circuit. Dave (d7ve_b), sorry you had to miss the parade lap - hope you managed to get home okay. Graham, glad you managed to get to the assembly area in time.
GlowRed's video of Nas' Vee on the parade lap shows how wet it was on the Friday (24th):

On a positive note we had 11, of the 12 Vees registered to attend on Friday, parked up on the club display area, so a big thank you to all those who braved the weather to attend the event. Thank you to James, Big Mark and Dave for transporting the Club Marquee to and from the venue, and of course for setting it all up - Andrew, thank you for pitching in to help erect the marquee. I hope everybody received a goody bag (if you hadn't received one at Kimbolton) - curtsey of James.

Saturday was dry, but breezy, so much of the day was spent actually going around the pits, watching some fantastic machinery out on track - there was some close racing to be enjoyed. It was superb to hear the wail of F1 cars (i.e. the silly turbo charged things that they have today with their muted soundtracks), air cooled Porsches and the big V8, V10 & V12 engined monsters. Happened to be in the pit area when the cars assembled for the Masters Historic Sports Cars Race. That was a sight to behold, with a soundtrack second to match...........
Roll on 2016. This was my first go at organising an event on behalf of v6Clio.net, so thank you to everybody who helped make it happen. The plan is to make it bigger and better next year..........
