It was another great ‘Nostalgias’! Thanks again to everyone at Shakey for all their hard work and perseverance and organisation. Saturday’s weather couldn’t be surmounted, though the crews did their best to get as much racing as possible in, and the event was really well-organised on Sunday. Well done to all the Wild Bunch teams, who put on a fantastic show again this weekend. Very impressive! A brilliant group of cars and people!!

Full report posted as soon as we can!
