A big "Thank You" to all for your interest and messages of support.
I've now had time to look at the results (Available:
Here) and digest exactly what happened to us on Saturday during a very windy and wet Birkett 6-Hour !
On the road (Scratch) we finished
34th out of
69 starters and covered
126 laps - winners 152 laps.
On Handicap we finished
50th having covered
152 'Gross' laps - winners 159 'Gross' laps.
For once all did not go according to plan...
Normally we run 6 drivers each for an hour with 5 changeovers - This time although we had the 6 drivers, we had to run 10 stints and 9 changeovers
What happened ? you may well ask - we had car problems, driver hiccups, and the Team Manager (me) dropped the ball a couple of times.
We were very well supported by our happy band of pit crew ably organised by James & Becky Downes and Kate Orebi Gann, but it was a bit 'Keystone Cops' at times
My special thanks go to Barry Sumner for taking the initiative and putting the Team (and some of the cars) together.
Not our best run in the Birkett but we were once again first (only) Morgan Team home

and we did have
FUN.
As well as the Birkett, the 750 Motor Club run a bewildering number of Championships and there is now an improving 6-Hour Archive on their website (take a look:
Here) I think they're rediscovering their heritage and I was surprised just how often Morgan Teams had featured in the results.
