Silverstone

So, one event under my belt and a busy week in the garage as Silverstone would be the following weekend. Had to build a fireproof casing around the fuel pipe (were it passes through the boot) and a looking bar to shut off any possibility of getting reverse rather than second!

Silverstone is the premier MG event in the UK, 3 days of circuit racing sprinting, shows stalls etc etc. I drove up on Saturday afternoon and camped over, ready for an early start on Sunday. Whilst it was great to be running on the GP circuit it wasn't as exciting as Guston down. Silverstone is designed for F1 cars, so a nearly standard MGB has alot of room to play with through the corners, still another fun day, and alot more competition than the previous weekend. We had a good battle for the top 3 places in the standard class, and I ended up in second spot.
