yeah that was a good day , made a change to see yanks not going in a straight line , that was a sight to see all that yank iron oh & a corvette into the hair pin trying 4 wide going into 1 -two wide ,

if i remember rightly that was damn hot that day , that was the only one i went to , originally planed to follow the whole series ,

Ahh yes, I took this at Brands, wonder if it was the same meet?

IIRC a Vette won the race, and to my surprise the driver somehow found himself near my car, jumped in (top was down of course) and got me to give him a lift to the pits!

yeah i think we were at the same one ! the coronet still has the steel wheels , also the 440 still had its iron production cylinder heads then if i remember correctly , yes your right Gavin a corvette won ! , think there was two 63 vetts never been up on them running ... seem to remember a black one with a flamed front end , or i might be thinking of something else , good picture of that coronet , gives the feel of speed ,
if i remember how the race went the coronet was blasting past them on the straight , but getting out braked & passed in the corners ,finally lost brakes altogether i think on the last lap

bernie still races the 63 black vette with the flames on, he help organise the once thing where they all ship there cars over to daytona for a weekends raceing but all in cost nearly £5k if I remember correctly

I went to donnington and oulton park...

I remember the hemi superbee spinning off right where I was stood at oulton

Brilliant pics, I was at Brands for one of these meets, when a blue Barracuda 68/9 had a big smash. Is this the same year? RPM's Superbee was there, but i don't remember as many Yanks in the carpark. Mind you I was in a Triumph Herald so was probably directed elsewhere.

crikey Jon , right where you was standing , bet that made a racket , heavy ole car spinning out , would not want to get in the way of that

blue Barracuda had a big wreck don't know if it was the same year Matt , might of been the one later on that year as there was two meets at brandshatch !! what happened to it ? was it repaired ?

When I say right where I was stood...there was a barrier there

It was a while back but as far as I can remember it did at least 1 full 360 and was lucky not to hit anything...

a historic single seater hit the barrier right where I was stood at the oulton park gold cup this august...I must attract 'em

Yes I think the winning Vette was a white 68-on version (might have had a US flag or something..?).
Now you mention it I do rember the flamed 63, the Bernie mentioned being Bernie Chodosh (sp?), who'd I have never met but recognised his name at the time from hot rodding mags!! I thought it was cool to have a hot rodder and a flame job in the series!

That might also have been one of the few race meets my wife ever came to....and got badly sunburned since it was a bit overcast but actually quite sunny!!
