Great Night at Goodwood, thanks guys for turning up & showing off the superb machinery. Were there a few hasty rebuilds, like I can't find the rear mech???

Smashed out 5 laps of Goodwood tonight. Touch warm tbf. Paced like a noob but enjoyed the catch up with several old friends. Outstanding organisation by @a3crg as per usual. Best events in the South. @simonsmythe @tony49414276 @dcba3crg
