[Philbar]

It was a good weekend, and good to catch up with the friendly members as always. Saturday was a very good day with plenty to see, the International pits is always good for a wander around and see the expensive stuff up close and unhindered - not like the ever so precious F1 stuff! - Highlights for me were the Can-Am series, nice to hear those 7 litre McLaren Chevrolets being brayed, the twilight Group C race is always good with flaming exhausts, although a noticeable diminished number of cars on the grid this year. Musically, well, Live/Wire we saw 2 minutes as for Reef, erm, no.. we gave The Stranglers the benefit of the doubt but 10 minutes was enough and we left, Sunday was quiet at the International pits, with a lot of competitors packing up by midday. (Sunday could have been better on a personal level, one of the pleasures of being a diabetic!) My only real gripe from the weekend was the food vendors, I know they have to make a profit but they were taking the proverbial!
