It had been quite a while since the formidable Spa circuit hosted and event, and the crowd of Belgian Bottomed Belgian Beauty’s fueled with Belgian Brew waited in excited anticipation. What was to be a joust amongst the Fearless Five turned out to be the ‘Fab Four’, as alas, our Fearless leader could not attend. :>( Mia, Bill, Chris in his inaugural/debut and the host..
The crowd was treated to some good ol’ Suthren fun in the 1st event, Nastycab, lots of rubbin’, but no tuggin’. :>)
The Sharpie and it’s pilot certainly were, and clearly, the Rainbow Warrior has spent far too much time of late in the commentary box, as his skill was far from Sharp!
Next up, a slightly more refined group of gentlemen drivers made their way from the paddock to start, for a Classic Battle, the Porschekrieg of Classic LM. The Ferrari teams were not present, as they had enjoyed too much Grappa, Cannelloni, and local female enticement the prior evening…
A brief interlude whilst fans nourished and replenished fluids, and then to the frenetic pace of GRP C, which saw a battle of teams representing former allied nations of WWII, Porsche, Lancia and Toyota. :>)
The Canon was rocket like, and the 2 Toyo’s finished a scant 1.25 seconds apart for 2nd/ 3rd
The closing event was another Grupen fest, this time, FUNF!
The MOMO should have been a little SLO-MO, as jumping the line(dare I say premature) proved to be costly, as the Fruit of the loom was smooth as silk and prevailed by a lengthy extension. :>)
A fun day indeed, though 1 marred by the fatalities of many spectators during numerous shunts, not seen since the days of Jimbo’s surgical Scaleauto slicing tragedy…
Looking forward to next 1!
