Donington re-opening
Is anyone going to the Masters Classic festival in early September? It will be the first car meeting on the re-opened track and the provisional line
up looks a bit special.
I was at the first re-opening meeting in 1977 so I'm looking forward to it a lot.
If my memory is reliable they weren't allowed to race open wheel cars in the first meeting because a public footpath crossed the track (although
I'm not sure even the nippiest ramblers would have been able to dodge Mick Hill's VW Beetle super saloon!).
Nice memories.

I hope you have a really good time.
I found a box of old photos I took as a kid including some Donington ones. They are a bit crap, but I think I developed them myself in a cupboard!

I think I'll probably make the trip.
Do you think there is a little patch of grass left anywhere to pitch a tent on? 
Tickets from here.
