1963 AP5 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Seems this discussion thread hasn't been active for a while but just wanted to say it was awesome to see your car go up the hill at leadfoot and thank you for taking the time to meet and chat with my mates and I in the pits between runs. The atmosphere at the event was fantastic and they way the drivers, mechanics and team members welcomed the spectators in and around the pits was just fantastic. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
