[nikbj68]

Oh.My.God!!!
   Can't believe you didn't drive to & from, Keith, I suppose that's the modern-day equivalent of keeping your powder dry, eh?
   Hope to get to a sprint one year,
   Looking forward to photos!

[C9OBY]

Dear all
   
   Thank you to everyone for a fantastic Sprint!  Everything went smoothly and everyone had a great time, in equal measure due to the hard work from everyone behind the scenes and the good form of all the drivers.
   
   I will publish the results soon, but in the interim some photos for everyone to enjoy:
