rgrigsby Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Another great day at Goodwood, a lovely variety of cars and great weather. Winning the class and setting a new class record at the same time helps a little obviously 😬 coming 5th overall for the whole day isn't too bad either. It was my first event since Curborough last year so it was good to see lots of familiar faces, I'm lokoing forward to the Welsh weekend now.

The Laddie Posted April 24, 2010 Author Share Posted April 24, 2010 Wow Rob ❗ Sorry didn't mean to leave you out, So for you with win & record 😶🌫️ 🥰 (more like envy) 😬 You must be feeling a millon!!! Enjoy, Mike (aka VII SVN) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgrigsby Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Cheers, I think lots of people had a good day beating previous personal bests all over the place. It was clearly a quick day for the circuit, I was a little suprised getting stuck in a batch of single seaters on my 2nd timed run though, 2 in front and 2 behind all based on lap times. 😳 Rob G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cskip Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 I really enjoyed my first sprint. Even my noise problems were quickly forgotten. Skip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff S Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 Did the last (3rd) timed run count ? Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Laddie Posted April 25, 2010 Author Share Posted April 25, 2010 Hi Jeff I can't speak for yesterday, but usually in L7C every timed run completed by all counts for L7C championship points. They won't count for the organising clubs rules, but we don't worry about that. Does this please you 😬 🤔 Enjoy, Mike (aka VII SVN) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff S Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 If the last run counted (as I thought it had) then I was pushed back into 3rd place by an excellent final run by Graham W for his first and well deserved class win, pipping matthew by three tenths or so A great days motorsport, at a fantastic venue, looking forward to the rest of the season Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris101 Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 Think we will need to wait for Simon/Mark to decide on the 3rd runs ❗ My understanding is that 3rd runs count if everyone who wants a run gets a complete run - sadly time ran out before Shaun could complete his rerun - he was baulked by a Ferrari *eek* Or perhaps that should be - he caught the Ferrari 😶🌫️ 😶🌫️ If only everything in life was as simple as a 7!!

GrahamV Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 Great day – good to see old friends and make some new ones. Many congrats to Lynn and Chris for another fine performance at Goodwood…. but the drive of the day for me was Rob Grigsby – 5th overall fastest time of the day and mixing it with all the single seaters and Radicals ! On such a fast circuit and with the brick-like aerodynamics of a Seven that takes some doing. Anyone at Colerne on Bank Holiday Monday?

Tam Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 It was indeed a lovely day and Alistair thoroughly enjoyed his first speed event (unless you count all the ones that he went to as a bump!) Well done to all those who beat PBs and class records Many a stonking drive on what was truly a glorious day at Goodwood.

The Laddie Posted April 25, 2010 Author Share Posted April 25, 2010 Hi Tam I'm sure that spectating is the best way to get back in, and don't forget MS has done 6 races and still not won. Just don't let Lynn have it all her own way 😬 Enjoy, Mike (aka VII SVN) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cskip Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 The Laddie. I failed the noise test 2 times and only just passed the 3rd time. Crossflows aren't noisy 😬 Skip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgrigsby Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 Just downloading some of the videos from yesterday, watching my last run it all looks quite calm even when the car decides to go sideways at 120mph through Fordwater 😳 I'll get the up online later in the week.

Area Representative Nick Chan Posted April 25, 2010 Area Representative Share Posted April 25, 2010 A Willoughby double! Well done to Andrew and Matthew plus all the others on an impressive start to the season. And so it begins.... Back in a BEC! - but done alright in Class 1...

Matthew Willoughby Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 Thanks Nick. It was a fabulous day but I was very lucky to win. I led all day but Grahame beat me fair and square on the third run. I think I'm the main beneficiary from the 3rd runs not counting.

CaterBram Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 Gutted over my problems on my first sprint yesterday, looks like spanners out over the next few weekends. Currently trying to assess the problem and decide on repair, upgrade or replace. Got a few ideas and will need to look at the old £'s to decide the next course. But the time I did get on the track i've got to say I thouroughly enjoyed and would not have missed it for the world. Q469 WET, 1990 1690 Xflow Long Cockpit in Ali except for the red bits.

Andrew Willoughby Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 What a relief to get started again after the grim winter months. And what a day! - I always find Goodwood a magical place, and in the April sunshine yesterday it was just perfect. The track was excellent - very grippy - and inspired the confidence for many of us to get much improved times. It was great to get the win, particularly on the day that Matthew got his first Class 3 victory. The only thing missing for me was the sound of whistling wings. Roll on The Laddie's return!

Lisa Beezer Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 Well done everyone! I thoroughly enjoyed spectating but I can't wait to have a go myself at Curborough! Banter in the paddock was great, especially as Neil seems to have gone a bit mad with the winter upgrades and bought himself the ultimate wooden spoon - he didn't stop stirring all day!!

FlymoFraser Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 Lisa Stirring? Moi? Anyway, I hadn't gone half as mad on the winter upgrades as some 😳 Mike - Would it help you to feel better if I told you that it was boring, wet and the timing gear broke down several times giving us all only one timed run? . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . . . . .. . Sorry, I can't lie , weather was glorious, track as usual was challenging scary and HUGE fun and we all got 3 timed runs apart from L7Cs answer to Gok Wan 😬 😳 and it was GREAT to be back in the saddle again.

The Laddie Posted April 25, 2010 Author Share Posted April 25, 2010 I tell you what, seeing these comments is really doing me good. It feels like almost being there, and I can mentally hear your voices making the comments.....or is that tinitus from the whistling wings? Andrew, I'd drink to that 😬 if I could If the commentary for the other events are as great then I wont feel so left out. Lisa, don't worry about Neil just remember he's carrying about twice your weight ....and that includes the turtle Neil, My chance will come....& I know if my Class 2 doesn't beat your class 1 then I am in for deep do-do Enjoy, Mike (aka VII SVN) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
