One of the reasons things are a little late starting today is that the Brighton Speed Trials are happening. Usually I'd be volunteering 5am to 3pm as a paddock marshal - but not this year. Instead, I went along for an hour or so to say a socially-distant hello and look at the cars. Despite only getting the go-ahead from Motorsport UK and the local council last month, there was an almost full entry and nearly all the £15 tickets for the limited crowd have been sold.

The delay did mean Pete had time to deliver nine cars - for him, Sue and Jerome, plus two new Street Stock cars for Anna and Mary...

   

Rose has kindly stepped down her Nostalgia Funny Car, giving us a new total of 67 cars to compete this weekend.

There are 16 in Street Stock; 12 in Super Stock; 10 in NHRA 4-Gear Funny Car, Pro Stock & Pro Mod; 8 in Nostalgia Funny Car; 7 in Nostalgia Magnatraction Pro Stock; 5 in Nostalgia T-Jet; 5 in NHRA Top Fuel; and 4 in Nostagia Micro Scalextric 2019. That does add up to 67.
