What a great day,the weather was fantastic for early november,what a great shame Peter Voight damaged his car in the afternoon

[hawk289]

How bad was the damage, I left around 2.00pm. He was lining up, really nice looking car.

[aaron]

Peter came out of the chicane,gave ita little to much welly ,spun the car twice and hit the tyre wall. his car has a crease in the nearside rear wing and some damage by the rear nearside lights.
   
   The guy who was in the blue AC Ace ,which has been rebodied to look like an AC 289 spun his car coming out of the chicane also,but managed to keep the car on the track

[hawk289]

Very lucky, between tyre and dirt is 4 feet!!. I would not like to hit anything at Goodwood, no run off's compared to GP tracks. Did you have a go? Also who got the best time in an AC?

John,no I did not have a go, I can not imagine thrashing mt little Ford Fiesta round Goodwood !! Im not sure who got the best time in an AC ,but I would not be surprised if it was Kevin Kivlochan in his Cobra

Excellent photo's, will have to wait for the magazine to see the results. I hope my Ac Bristol is restored for next years sprint. I recon if you stuck a V8 in the fiesta would go like stink around Goodwood!!!

   It would look really funny if you were driving from the passenger seat using the 'HE-MAN' dual controls though![8D]

[aaron]

your right ,a V8 under the bonnet,a 427 with twin paxton super chargers sounds good.... but steering from the passengers seat with the steering wheel on the right is abit tricky,believe me Ive had to do it at times...............[]

[aaron]

John ,thanks for the comments on the photo`s yours have turned out very good also,you say you left at 2 .00 pm ,I reckon you must have been stood near were I was taking the photo`s.

[hawk289]

[aaron]

John ,is this your car ?Or is your car the dark blue Aceca I saw in the paddock ?

   What....no buses pass your house? []

[aaron]

I reckon I would have to cut a hole in the bonnet to clear the air cleaner, Im also looking for a set of Halibrands and some side pipes
