Today was a day for all the old drivers that used to race at Arena Essex Raceway before it was closed down and sold a few years ago. It was also a classic car show as a lot of the old racers now actually own and restore classic cars.
The weather looked good, so we set out just after 9am and headed down to Aveley football club which was the location for the meet. I took my Green Cortina and enjoyed giving it a run out.
I think the organisers underestimated how many cars were coming as we arrived around 10am and couldn't even get into a designated parking space because they were all taken. Even after we parked up there was a constant flow of classic cars and lorries still arriving.
I met up with a few people I know and no doubt there were more people that I didn't recognise as well. (I last raced at Arena in 1990) There were some great cars there as well with a lot of them being American, but a few little Fords there as well.
I was a good day, but we left around 3pm. I wanted to get home and cut the rear lawn before the rain came down. Which it did about an hour after I cut it, so my timing unusually, was spot on!
