True enough.
Another thing to add - the labor agreements were forged in a not so long ago time when the domestics were doing prety well.......job banks, etc.

Another fun day at the lake! Half the truck slid off the ramp and is now stuck, the boat wouldn't get off the trailer. Just a bunch of swearing from some pathetic sailors.

...with more $$ than brains or ability.

You might call this a cabover:rolleyes:

I think i am gonna vomit.

If the plate wasn't a dead giveaway, the Ferrari truck was a big clue!

Ah! Castle Combe, The very place that I first saw a 911 Race. Plus the first track I ever marshaled at (Quarry out) when I was 14.

BTW, what's the story there? Are the "Newbie" locals still trying to close it down? Are the old WW2 flight plans still on the wall ?

I have a big soft spot for Castle Combe, my first experience of circuit driving was their and I've spent alot of time their spectating.

The "incomers" are still a bit of a problem. Due to their whining the Combe lost their round of the British GT series (Similar cars and regs to ALMS & lMS) this year due to complaints about noise of last years event (the restrictions are now just a bit too tight).

Still I recieved my copy of the circuit guide about a month ago and there is still plenty of other motor races organised for the year, the future looks fairly bright for the place.

here are a couple.
