    Sometimes you get lucky (historic racing)

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFG6BsE8h-E


    Last race of the day, wet track, good start and trying a little too hard to hold out a fast MGB just off screen on the right.

    Somehow I missed everyone and everyone missed me. Shook the hand of the GTV driver after the race and will be buying him a beer or two.

    Feeling pretty lucky looking at my lovely (and undamaged) 69E.
    Cheers, Ryan

    The weekend was going well before that - PB in qualifying, then another in race 1 and then a third in race 3.

    Whoa. If one of the guys behind you caught it on their in-car that would be an eye-opening perspective. Edit the two vids together!

    I caught this 914/6 trying to outbrake a DSR by getting out of his way:

    Great start BTW!
