Will add some pics here when I get a chance

Ian, my understanding was that Carol had arranged the "showers" in order to shift some of the SEC parasol/umbrellas!! Having bought mine it stopped raining and hasn't since. Many thanks to Carol for providing food and drink as well - the tea was free but you had to supply your own (SEC) mug, of which she had a few for sale! Not sure if Carol has ever been in Sales but she could certainly hold her own.

As Ian said, after lunch the hill was drying nicely and I was lucky enough to get a ride with Mel (thanks Mel - still smiling). Runs up the hill were heavily discounted towards the end of the day so I would definitely recommend a Prescott day for cheap track time.

This was my first "SEC meeting" and I can only say what a lovely friendly bunch of people you are - despite not having a Strat I was made to feel very welcome and thoroughly enjoyed my day. I'm looking forward to Castle Coombe even more so now.

I've posted the best of the photo's I took in an album somewhere on the forum - not the best quality I'm afraid.

Thanks again to Mel, Carol, Jane, Ian and John for a great day out.

Glad you enjoyed it Mick, just a pity a few more Strats didnt turn up to play.

Looking back I wish I had done a few more runs in the wet, the car felt good going sideways everywhere,although it didnt stop me trying in the dry.

Pity I had the fuel leak as I think I would have had a few more runs if I hadnt lost my fuel !!!
