VSCC Pomeroy Trophy Meeting, Feb 17th 2024

[akku]

The "Pom" is a more laid back sort of a season openner for the VSCC and the usual rules are a little relaxed as to what can enter. There is some form of handycap system in place and a number of competitive events and classes. As with a lot of this I don't really know all the ins and outs, I just went to see cool cars. Put it this way I went in the Fiesta and was told I could park in the Paddock with it. Track cars varied from a genuine LeMans GT40 to a Nissan Micra 16v.

When I ran through the photos taking them off the camera they all looked fine, but on this monitor they look somewhat underexposed to me. Feedback on that welcome. Which is accurate, laptop screen or my office screen... Mind you it was very overcast that day and it did rain.

As ever, there's going to be a few batches posted in "themed collections" of posts. I'm starting with the "proper" Vintage stuff as seen round the paddock.

A little vintage track action....

Not a lot as I hadn't taken the right lens really, but you should get the idea....










More modern track action too...








Back to the Vintage stuff....

What lovely old things. Thank you for taking the time to capture it for the rest of us.

VSCC events are very dangerous for my wallet. I come away wanting to sell everything I own to buy a pre-war sports car.

Great pictures, I know they've put fences up for purpose of safety but it does feel like overkill in some places and does take away some of pleasure for me(even when I've not got the camera with me. It's even creeping in a sections of Cadwell Park nowadays.

Yeah Silverstone hosts "proper" racing so they need proper safety set up. Its workable-roundable with the right lens and right vantage point. Neither of which I had.

So here we have the classic and post war coupe selection. Thats my rough grouping of whats in the photos rather than the classes...

Great pictures, thank you.

I went for the first time in about 10 years and was reminded of what a great, low-key, event 'the Pom' is.

The older I get, the more appealing the old timer stuff becomes.
