Went along to practice day at Goodwood today. Excellent stuff - old race cars, pld bikes, new bikes and newer cars. Highlights - Hailwood's TT Duke, the Napieraero- engined Brooklands racer, oh, and a load of other stuff. I am however slightly deafened from standing about 15' away from a 1937 Merc W125 in the pits being revved and worked on. *ear splittingly loud* - you know how at a loud gig, someone near you talks and you can make out some sounds but not the words? This was much, *much* louder - the guy standing right next to me said something and I couldn't hear anything. My heaed's still buzzing now and I don't think that it's the drink.. Fab.
