Well either the weather has been very good, or I have just been busy. I hadn't realised just how long it has been since I last put up a post. I know self discipline has never been one of my strong points but I did think I would manage better than this.
Any way- today has been largely taken up with motor racing, and not just grand prix on the telly! No today the Goodwin family went to Brand Hatch to watch truck racing. These are the most powerful racing machines with great track presence and lots of overtaking, for more checkout http://www.motorsportvision.co.uk/brands-hatch/news/article.asp?NewsID=4547 For the last couple of seasons the trucks have been the first and last meetings of the season at Brands, their races are mixed up with National Championship races for Pick up trucks, and Legends. The Pickups are identical purpose built racing vehicles with 2 litre Ford or Vauxhall engines, Legends are five eighths scale replicas of 1930's American sedans and coupes with 1200cc bike engines, both give lots of good quality close racing with lots of overtaking.
Normally I would say unlike Formula 1, however I have just watched the highlights of the Australian GP on TV and what I saw looked like an excellent race - I may be biased having been a Button fan for ages, and hope that he will now live up to his early promise. with a name like Jenson he has to be fast!
The Jensen Interceptor was a great car and one of my person favorites ever since I got my first Dinky model of one around 40 years ago! To find out what I'm talking about have a look here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jensen_Interceptor
