Nigel, we all enjoyed our selfs on Saturday and a good few pints as well, we all hope to return to Masham next year at the rallys new site where ever it is, then we can do the road run up the hill with our trusty Burrell and in the Sentinel S6 the year after.

Lee.

personally on the engine i feel we should of turned left out of the rally field and headed towards the A1 up the steady incline which lasted for at least 1-2 miles as that would really test the engines as we found the hill was too short to really test the fowler showmans engine renown

Did that with Burrell scenic "William V" 3610 when she was in Yorksire , took her left out of gate and up hill towards A1, turned round at top and took her past rally and up into town, think we did it both days, just for something different.

I remember one year a long time ago when Lighting 2 was roaded to Masham.
It was when Dick Preston Snr was driving, he turned left out of the field on Sunday evening back towards home.

I can still hear it now as it powered off up the hill at full chat in top gear.....wonderful stuff.

Oh thats great, thanks for trashing one of my cherished memories Chris.

It does make sense though, there was no way he was ever going to make it back to Potto before dark when you think about it.

PS
Do you know of any Sentinel's changing hands lately nudge-nudge, wink-wink.
e-mail me if you do.
If my guess is correct, it won't be a day too soon.

Phil
