Oulton Park Circuit - September 15th 2007



September 15th - a lovely day at a wonderful circuit. There had obviously been a lot of publicity by the circuit as there were spectators everywhere. The best we've seen this year.

Race 1 - AMOC UBS Aston Martin Championship - Classic Race was won by Darren McWhirter in his DB4 Zagato, Chris Scragg was 2nd and Charlie Kemp 3rd.

Geoffrey Lewis was 2nd in Class 2 but had the misfortune to come over the line to finish for something to break and send him into the barriers.

Phil Williams had problems through the day with his V8 but Rikki Cann got it sorted. The pink blanket for the bonnet made me smile.

The wording at the back of the Reed DB2, "Built by Dad, trashed by the kids" seems to get a lot of attention.

In the paddock. I'm not sure which was getting more attention, the lambo or the airstream trailer.
