Dear All

UPDATE UPDATE!
Love to see you fellow E21 fiends- there are plenty of other races going on (Mainly AMs since it is AMOC ST John Horsfall meeting)
All kinds of excitements- my race suit is now out of date, ditto my Halon fire extinguisher, and gloves- this is getting expensive!
But what a GRID!
No less than 9 CAMAROS- the biggest collection of racing V8 thunder Heavy Metal in one place at one time on the planet!
And a "Le Mans" start

in full grid of 32 cars
Programme looks like Monday

Practice early
Lunch time Le Mans start parade at 12.15
We are top spot first race after lunch on Tuesday!

The largest gathering of racing V8s and the heaviest Grid ever seen in one location at one time in the world!

Racing cars are meant to be light and nimble- problem is that no-one told the US Musclecar Designers- who proceeded to overengineer and compensate with ever larger engines leading to V8 Thunder that we have today !

Largest Collection of V8 Racing HEAVY METAL Thunder in one place at one time on the planet
Venue: Brands Hatch 4 and 5 June 2012
The Royal Diamond Jubilee celebrations extend after the weekend to Brands Hatch on 4th and 5th June 2012 where the Aston Martin St John Horsfall meeting will play host to the greatest gathering of classic racing Heavy Metal V8 THUNDER the world has ever seen.
A total of 170,000 ccs of Classic Camaros, Mustangs and Corvettes will do battle on the famed Brands Hatch Indy Circuit on Monday 4th June at approximately 17.00 hours and then again on Tuesday 5th June just after Lunchtime. Tuesday will showcase a Le Mans style start with drivers lining up opposite their Heavy Metal preparing to sprint into their cars for a Rolling Thunder style start at 12.45. There will be free access to the cars and their drivers from 12.15 in Le Mans positions. There are 32 Heavy Metal contenders in the races, which are divided into M (for “Modified” cars) and F (for FIA “Fairly Standard” cars).
These cars have to be the heaviest startline grid EVER seen in the world, with musclecars doing what their makers intended in the “ponycar” wars of the 1960’s.
This is also the largest collection of racing Camaros the World has ever seen in one place with 9 entered as we go to press.
30th May 2012

Press release designed and issued by TCB Racing:

[TopCat]

Very exciting racing- apparently we may have lit up the classic racing fraternity- sorry no BMWs present
I was a bit disappointed by the lack of spectators and tv cameras (like South Africa) and Butch seemed sooo quiet with the new UK spec 105 db silencers- quite a wide spread of car specifications amongst the entry- Butch was amongst the least modified!
see below:
Butch at Home

In paddock

gentlemen start your engines

Pitstop

We took away 2x 4 in class - room for improvement!
New scott racing team were A1
I have a new in car camera which has some great footage but too large to download here

[e21-Mark]
