I'll just add a couple of images to Andrew's with regard to the Archie Scott Brown commemoration. The BRDC cars, led by the Costin Lister and Archie's MG TD, gave a demonstration in and out lap. To capture the moment, we were allowed to stand on the pitwall. Here, John Pearson drives, Brian Lister waves! The MG has just come into view:-


The MG, displaying the registration no. XS 6931 (see page 67 of Robert Edwards book, mentioned earlier):-


The first race on Sunday was Race 9 of the weekend and was Part 1 of the HSCC Historic Formula Ford championship. In the absence of Neil Fowler, who qualified but did not take the start (I noted the car on its trailer in the Paddock, so clearly a problem) Nelson Rowe took a comfortable pole to flag victory. Here we see, Richard Line (73 - Elden Mk8), George Fowler (86 - Macon MR8), Gregory Thornton (66 - Titan Mk4) & Alan Fairbrother (96 - Merlyn Mk20) hustling through Russell Bend. However, they are not all on the same lap - Line finished 17th, Fowler 5th, Thornton 6th and Fairbrother failed to finish:-


Race 10 was Part 1 of the BRDC Historic Sportscar Championship and as has been mentioned in previous posts, this was, unfortunately, a small field of cars. It was won by Graeme Dodd (incorrect, it was actually won by Peter Horsman - see later posts - JT) following up on a similar victory at Silverstone the previous week. Here is second place man, Jamie McIntyre 'working the wheel' in his Rejo:-
