Thumbs up The VOC Speed Challenge

Just to let everybody know that after competing in the VOC Speed Challenge last year I achieved joint second place with 46 points and joint 4th position in the overall Motor Sports Challenge. I have won the Tony Miles Pushrod trophy. I have enjoyed competing and look forward to racing when the new season begins in a few months.

Well done Iain.

I really must have a go on a track someday - just have recollections of my brakes smoking like chimneys last time I tried some agressive braking (on a driving course I hasten to add, not the road)!
