rain on Suday . . . .Ill have to get the pervy mac out to go with my itchy wool chocolate brown greenline suit

So if it rains on Sunday, like it did in 1999, make sure you get a viewing position that won't get completely obscured by a sea of brollies. Unbelievably irritating - I missed some of Grant Williams antics as a result! I reckon that those with brollies are not regular race going enthusiasts whereas those more 'considerate', wearing oilskins etc with hoods are!

So I need to look out for a man in a mac scratching himself then?

. I can't think off-hand of a "cure" for itchy wool except putting something between the wool and your skin.

*SLAP*. Stop it Suzy. Zef is a married man.

What is a poodle skirt?:confused:

As I'll be there Sat and Sun perhaps I might find out.

I could try by asking every attractive lady "Is that a poodle skirt you are wearing?". But as they will probably have beefy escorts perhaps I'd better just watch the racing.

cheers

Duncan

Great to see Suzy (the poodle skirt looked brilliant as did the pink ribbon in your hair), TimD and Bluebottle. Thank goodness it didn't rain in the end!

Great weekend all round until those buggers demolished my wall during the last two races

Suzy · 8 Sep 2003, 07:33 (Ref:711457)

It was good fun wasn't it? Lovely to see you Stephen - mind you, the wall stayed up for far longer than I thought it would. Especially when Frank Sydner decided on Saturday afternoon that he'd quite like to watch the race from the banking on the wrong side of the chicane - whilst still in his car!!!

Cue lots of marshal's running for cover.

Little Ellie (Toddler-Bottle) enjoyed a lot of the races - but her knowledge of aeroplanes is remarkable too.

I'm so tired - Tim and I didn't get back until 11.10pm!!! We were helping a chap and his heavily-pregnant damsel in distress on the Sussex/Surrey border when their naughty mini refused to go any further. Hope they got to Hull okay.

**Stephen Green** · 8 Sep 2003, 08:18 (Ref:711511)

It was me that ran to Mr Sytner after his excursion at our post. A quick three point turn in the escape lane and bingo, he was back on the track!

Steve Tarrant · 8 Sep 2003, 11:54 (Ref:711722)

And it was Ernie Nagamatsu who hit the wall, for the second year running! He's now debating whether to return next year on the basis of third time lucky!

I also had a fabulaous weekend, even if I didn't get to see much of the track action. There was so much to see, so many people to talk to in the paddock!!!!

And I only got evicted out of parc fermé/assembly areas twice this year!!!!!!!!

Steve

PS I found out that Win Percy is in quite a bad way with his back after doing something nasty to it whilst gardening. He's had one op already and is looking to have a second one to clear out lots of rubish, etc.

He is due to move hospitals shortly (currently is in Dorchester and is believed to be moving to Salisbury), and could do with lots of messages to keep his spirits up. Therefore, look back at this link in a couple of days and I will then have confirmed details of where he will be.

**Stephen Green** · 8 Sep 2003, 12:08 (Ref:711737)

Ernie only did a part destruction derby on the wall Steve, the next race did it in style. Flowers and flowerpots all over the track arghhh!!!

Suzy · 8 Sep 2003, 12:15 (Ref:711746)

There were people collecting the flowerpots and taking them home.

**Stephen Green** · 8 Sep 2003, 12:23 (Ref:711755)

Ahhh I have to admit to giving two ladies a flowerpot each. Could they have been the ones you saw?

**Stephen Green** · 8 Sep 2003, 12:24 (Ref:711756)

You see, there is no end to my good humour

Stephen, sorry that we didn't manage to meet. I did however stay well clear of your chicane, although I spun twice at St Mary's yesterday, hopefully entertaining the marshals there!!

**Stephen Green** · 8 Sep 2003, 12:34 (Ref:711769)

We will have to make definate plans for next year then!!

Fan · 8 Sep 2003, 12:38 (Ref:711774)

Yup - hopefully back in the same car. It's massively improved and great fun to race.

Suzy · 8 Sep 2003, 12:46 (Ref:711783)

I saw you racing Fan. We were on the exit of St Mary's going towards whatever that corner is leading onto the long straight (I'd never been to Goodwood so I'm not sure what it's called). But you were pointing in the right direction every time you went past us.

I like your car too.

Stephen: they may have been the ones you saw. Poor red flowers - at least some of them have got a good home. The others have been squashed.

Steve Tarrant · 8 Sep 2003, 12:53 (Ref:711790)

>Poor red flowers - at least some of them have got a good home. The others have been squashed.

Well, I know Ernie was presented with one, to continue the tradition of having a plant over to anyone who hits the wall. So now he has a lovely pair!

Stephen, I'm led to believe you were using period black boots instead of the famous red trainers? Find any performance difference? :-)

**Stephen Green** · 8 Sep 2003, 12:55 (Ref:711793)

Actually Steve it was the period (1990's) white trainers. I didn't think His Lordship would take too kindly to the red ones, especially at the chicane

However, performance wise they both worked the same, both red and white pairs being Nike. Maybe I should see if they want to sponsor me for the future???

zefarelly · 8 Sep 2003, 13:35 (Ref:711827)

no rain so no itches or scratches

although the trousers seem to have shrunk since last time I wore them . . . . and indeed felt like they'd shrunk even more after fish, chips and a few pints of Gales GB

did thay have elasticated wastebands in the 50's ?

I was definitely going backwards at one stage yesterday, although it was quite a quick (but noisy) spin. Glad that you like the car - it's very nice to drive. You should have come and said hello. I met Andrew Kitson yesterday but would have liked to have met more people from 10/10ths. Next year!

**Stephen Green** · 8 Sep 2003, 14:06 (Ref:711857)

Yes and expandable braces as a last resort

the18racer · 8 Sep 2003, 14:33 (Ref:711880)

Did any Tenth-Tenthers see me get clobbered by the C-type when I was lapping it at Lavant?

**Stephen Green** · 8 Sep 2003, 14:56 (Ref:711918)

Lordy, all these drivers and I didn't get to meet one of you *sulks*. However, we did give you all a wave as you passed by us at the chicane

the18racer · 8 Sep 2003, 15:06 (Ref:711939)

Stephen, you and all your fellow marshals are welcome at any time. Just drop by the motorhome for a beer and a chat. Please don't all arrive at once though, or there'll be nothing left for us.
BTW, in addition to the errant C-type, the brakes were seized on solid for the last two laps, which is why I got out-dragged over the line.
