Pete -

I commented on this yesterday -- I guess I clicked the wrong button. This is a lot of fun, and a terrific angle. It looks like Moggyman (or is it Lotusman?) is being terribly slowed by a very heavy helmet, while Healyman (or is it Moggyman?) has a helmet filled with helium. I don't quite have the auto in the foreground (NBL 660) -- what is it?

Thanks Stuart, it's one of those Lister Jaguars again.

Moggyman and Lotusman did finally make it to their cars.

Moggy got the jump, but had not fastened his seat belts (which is a bad thing)

Another of the Listers required people power to get away.

Delightful. Thank you. I was wondering if the Lotus was in bare metal. Very handsome that way, as well as BRG.

I really like the action, and B+W is a good choice, although I'm not crazy about Moggyman's gait. He did get to his car quickly though...

Didn't someone do this in 1969 (or was it 1968?) and ruin the fun for everyone after that? (not to mention his own fun ...)


edit: P.S. That Lotus is awesome looking. That is quite a small car, isn't it?

I really like the "comedy" running gait adopted by Healey man in the first one.

Thanks guys; I suspect that some of these folks were not too anxious to shoot straight into the start-line crash and therefore adopted various ambulatory impediments.
