"One Hour Barry Race" at The Spa Summer Classic 2018

[C9OBY]

Hi all, please see below an invitation from Cheng Lim to all ACOC members & friends to participate in a race to be held during The Spa Summer Classic this year. Cheng is a member of the ACOC and one of our regular ACOC Goodwood Sprint participants.

"In memory of our dear friend Barry Sidery Smith, Organiser, Driver and Friend to many, the One Hour Barry Race is being held again at The Spa Summer Classic June 2018. During his life time, Barry provided the opportunity to race at Spa for (probably)
thousands of people, and instrumental in providing access & logistics to races beyond the reach of most, such as Chimay, Zolder & Nurburgring, as well top meetings at British circuits, always ensuring a warm welcome to His Drivers. The UK & European Historic
Racing Community definitely owes him a lot.

In 2018 to remember with fondness our dear friend and racing colleague Barry Sidery Smith the Sideways Club was formed. The Sideways Club is designed for drivers who have raced with Barry, joined the club racing fraternity because of him, or anyone who
knew and admired him. But it's not just Barry's Regulars that are invited to join the club, EVERYONE is welcome to join The Sideways Club and no registration fee is required.

Barry would have been pleased to have seen faces old and new! The annual race will start in 2018 at the Summer Classic event at Spa 22/23/24th June. It will give a chance for all those who have raced in the past at this event to still be involved. A BBQ or dinner/evening event will also be held at the meeting so everyone can get together to discuss the race and reminisce about the man himself.

If you are interested in joining, please contact Cheng Lim on (+44) 07836 699339, email cheng@thunderroadcars.com or visit www.spaonehour.com

Please pass on details of The Sideways Club to other drivers and friends who you know would be interested in the event, just in case they do not receive this message.

The formation of the Sideways Club has benefitted much by the help & advice of Pam MacCarthy of the MG Car Club's BCV8 Series originally founded by Barry Sidery Smith and for which he was Lifetime President.

We are looking forward to racing with you!"
