Curborough - Sunday 19th May @10am

[Rob Hunter - Club Secretary]

The weather is looking great tomorrow so we are heading to Curborough for the SDCC sprint.

 

I'm meeting at the Halfords in Swadlincote (DE11 8JU) for a 930am depart aiming to join everyone else at the Curburgring about 10am.

 

Feel free to come along 👍

What a stunning day for it!!!

 

Already quite warm at 9am I headed down to the first meeting point to meet the gang. 

 

Lee arrived bang on time and we waited a few minutes for Ian who had come cross country to meet us.

 

Unusually I'd invited one of my neighbours Chris (a fellow petrolhead) who had brought his BMW K1300R superbike having never been to Curborough.

 

A fun jog down the lanes and we landed at Curborough (with Hedley filming our arrival) to be joined by Rachael and Iain (doing their first run after yesterday's dyno session) and then Dan with his zetec powered car. Within minutes Colin also joined us so we had 2 Pinto's, 2 Zetec's and 2 S2000's!

 

 

Chris's lovely K1300R

 

The weather meant we had some beautiful cars in the car park!

 

Maserati Biturbos are as rare as hens teeth! 

 

Classic brits!

 

Yank tanks!

 

On track we had everything from road legal hot hatches, classic Minis, Westfields, Caterhams, Radicals, Formula Ford, classic 911 and even an enormous Dodge Viper with its 8 litre V10!

 

 

 

 

 

Watching the 911 being wrestled round was a real highlight, fabulous bit of driving in a rear engined classic!

 

 

 

Heading home, Chris decided to attempt to follow me on the empty B roads... all I will say is that we might have another biker convert 😂

Set off this morning with intention of visiting Curborough. By the time I’d passed Twycross Zoo I’d decided I just had to drive further… ended up nearly 150 miles later with a sun burnt nose..

LOL, that was me yesterday, not as far but sun burnt... A cap just wasn't good enough . Factor 50 on order now 🤣

A Great day out as usual. Thanks @Rob Hunter - Club Secretary  for arranging
