Yes, sadly I knew you would be away Peter, and I gathered you would be off to sunnier climes Mike!
My father and father-in-law have well and truly had their racing appetites wetted again after Mallory and Oulton over the weekend so I may have to take one of them on the Saturday and the other on the Sunday!

I dont think I'll be at either as the NSU had engine failure.

Wow, sounds like a major rebuild! It's great that these cars are finding good homes and I look forward to seeing it in action next year.
I was lucky enough to watch it debuting at Silverstone in 1983 so have a soft spot for this particular car.
Good luck for Donington, hopefully in some autumn sunshine!

Donington
A strange thing, masters told me this meeting is a `noisy` one, but still the 1970`s celebration race is limited to 105 db !

Funny you should say that as this I think is something that needs looking into. Donington have 109 decible signs up all over the place but the scrutineers insist on 105 as apparently thats what it says in the Blue Book or something????? Confused you will be! Wayne Moosehead altered his Mustang exhaust to the 109 limit and failed scrutineering and had to bolt the extra mufflers on to pass.

The difference between 105 and 109 is not so much. But to have several races with cars such as Can-Am, F1, etc....probably over 130 db and then have a 105 db race in the middle !!!
Surely someone has made a mistake...................

I am not so sure you are right there Alex about the difference between 105 and 109 because I believe the measurement is squared or something.
