To Jerry, Steve and my other US friends, I have finally managed to get my HLM back on the track after a gap of 5 years. In that time I blew up the engine and got made redundant so there have been a few challenges along the way. One challenge has been the technical preparation according to the "blue book" which I have had to do all myself. I'm no Mario Andretti and I was concerned about protecting the engine so the video may not appear to be very exciting. A SAOC member happened to be at the track and filmed some of the action. I was planning to keep it all a bit more secret. I had the smallest engine on the day by some margin, was running slippery Dunlop historic tyres and the brake servo started holding the brakes on for several seconds at a time. Given the constant wet weather I was pleased to stay on the track. Lapped 3 times by a 3.5 Litre Morgan V8 in both races I none-the-less got 2 satisfactory signatures on my race upgrade card. Just two more and I can rip up my novice sticker - roll on 2020!
