We did this once, never again.

We were pre-entered but despite this they gave away the spaces to the classic English crowd, and directed us to the public car park. After complaining they eventually relented but of course that didn't free up any spaces so I was directed into a field where I promptly sank up to the axles in mud, not pleasant in a lowered Trans Am. I eventually freed the car, got my money back and left.
Talking with others who did manage to get the spots they were supposed to have, the day was full of the Marshalls complaining about all the space the American cars were taking up and constant requests and demands to move it so that they could put something they deemed more interesting in its place.

Never, ever again would I grace that the place with my presence or car unless Chip Foose himself buys the place and runs it!

I'm so wanting to use foul language in this response, that's the feelings the memories conjour up.

Who is Mickeal winner??.

I think is is some sort of food critic, he seems to criticise everything. He also done some car insurance adverts on TV.

Oh. Not Michael Winner perhaps? If it's Michael Winner I know him as a film producer, movies like the Death Wish septology ( or however many it went too!)
Funny how people are known for different things to different people.
