    I dont think they publicise the stage details - I do know the stage we are possibly marshalling is "Lytham Hall" - from 1:38 till 7:20pm - Its being run twice.

    Lytham is a non-spectator stage.

    The last spectator stage is Pontins 2nd run which starts around 4:45 and will run well after dark :wink:

    yes it was,it was down at stoneleigh earlier this year and michelle was re-united with it and she drove it again.it went down as a none starter due to an electrical gremlin but it fired up on the sunday and she drove it.there was plenty of late nights on that car but it was worth it just to hear it fire for the first time the team of lads that worked on it were all top dollar you could,nt faut them.i strongly advise anybody to go and watch john drive it as he doesnt pussy foot around with it

    Excelent day out - spent from about 7:45 on the prom till aboutmidday - then the afternoon in a farm yard.

    Started to get a bit cold towards the end of the day - but well worth it.

    It was very well marshalled and everybody was cheerful (the weather helped I'm sure). Sincere thanks to all.

    It was my first event as a driver in fourteen years but the Scooby did me proud.

    Car 97 - White GC8 - 31st overall and a big hoot. Full story to follow with YouTube link (Can't get the audio to work with Movie Maker yet....?!)

    Nice one Simon, good result.
    Was it you who "bounced" it slightly off the scenery in the woods on the Lytham hall stage?
    I remember seeing a white new age do it, then a classic later on, didn't catch the number though. Me & Jim were marshalling in there and saw a few taking it cautious on the mud covered tarmac :roll:
