Did anyone go! What was it like! Were there any exotics there. I heard that it cost $150 or thereabouts. I was thinking about going until I heard that part. But I would still think about it for next year. Was it worth it! Did someone really give an F1 car heaps! Must have sounded magnificient.

Radio Sport said the Discovery Channel was there so it may get some airtime in the coming months!

Yeah, discovery was filming, and search youtube for more videos. One of the best motorsport weekends I have had. Nice , friendly casual and great cars, and I have a photo with Billy Gibbons! It was good ole fashion fun. Will be going next year.

Thanks clark20. Was the ticket price $150! Was that for only one day! Exotics! F1 Car!

I think it was $140, but our driver paid for us. I played chauffeur to take him to the ball etc so it evened out. If anything it kept the rif-raf out.

Just watched Rod's Pike's Peak World record run on Youtube. Geeze it's a long run and you wouldn't want to run off the road at some of those corners. But clark20 getting back to tihis years Leadfoot, did they run an F1 car up the hill and were there any European exotics there! The vids on youtube are not that extensive

yes, the Yardley Mclaren came in the top 10, and I rode down on the 1906 F1 winning car, won the first race to be finished with a chequerd flag.
Thanks guys. The chance to see a genuine (if old) F1 car going at it in anger would have been good particularly the sound. I probably will go next year. I seem to recall that guy Graham with the One - 77 Aston saying he would like to take it to Rod Millens "thing". That would be great if he brought it next year.
