I'm not sure if anyone was using a slow enough shutter speed for you Mike!

I do have a few but surprisingly I took most of scoobies . Crap quality as scans of colour contact sheets. Will email what I've got when I work out how to get the best result. Obviously can be turned into prints.

Thumbs up

All,
Not ONE single car came passed me in anger. The only ones that did were on my warming up or down laps...

James,
Thanks - I see what you mean about the quality...

Phil,
Yes please! (Mucho thanks!).

Kris,
There were just too many crappy silver Scoobies out there, how do you expect me to recognise yours? Which corners (landmarks please) are these, as the only one I know by name is Craner, the rest are known to me only by their location (i.e. the chicane before the start / finish straight, the corner before the back straight etc), so which one was it. Also, was it smoke from the exhaust or tyres? Normally when it was from the exhaust, it was because the wheels broke traction and the car hit the rev cut, which causes it to backfire and blow big chunks of brown smoke... Any chance of a copy? (Will pay anyone for a replacement video tape).
Thanks

The Dagenham dustbin was certainly enough to frighten all the Scoobs I came up against....
LOL
Mike

Come on Mike, you know that we was all just trying to be friendly, and take it easy on an old banger. We just didn't want to make you look silly in front of the RS boys that turned up to support you.

ONLY JOKING... Much respect for the way the car handled, and the driver of course.

Dan

Kris,
You'll obviously have to get your eyes tested - not only do you think you overtook me, but you can't see the yellow winky smilies...

Would really appreciate it if you would copy it to a tape and bring with you to the next Scooby thing. I will then give you a new blank tape in exchange.
Thanks
Mike
