American friends,I should have mentioned. The was also a couple of outstanding drivers from across the pond. One goes by the name of Rod Millen. Driving the (new to us Brits) ex. Pikes Peak Toyota Tacoma pick up! He stormed the hill, like there was a tornado on his tail! A masterclass in monster power car control and subsequent crowd pleaser to boot.
Also Bob Riggle in the wheelstanding 'Hemi Under Glass' Mopar. I know the car is constructed to do this stunt and I'm sure he's done it a hundred times, but he kept it up not only along the straight in front of Goodwood House but around the bend before it! One of the rare times where the crowd cheering was ecstatic.
Apologies to all the drivers that we were unable to see, but who did put in a good show. I'm sure you were many.
