The Sevenoaks and District Motor Club and Tunbridge Wells Motor Club Made their Annual Return to Goodwood For the Famous Goodwood Sprint as Part of the Sprinting Championship.
With a Tricky Circuit that Lays in front of them as well as Many Scary Corners and Straights such as ST Marries Bravery and Skill will be needed in order to traverse Each and Every Corner of this Fast and Tricky Circuit.
Many Drivers Were also Looking forward to Spiriting here as its an annual Favourite for both Tunbridge Wells and The Sevenoaks and District Motor Club Members who brought out some Impressive Machinery for the Event.
Bob Woods had his Iconic Lotus Cortina MK1 inspired by the Late Great Jink Clark who use to Race Cortina's in Touring Cars back in 1964 when he Won the Championship in a Lotus Cortina MK1.
Dave Rayner was also there with his Very Fast and Seriously Green Looking Caterham Ready to clock the Laps up around this Fast and Flowing Circuit. With Over 200 Break Horsepower under his Right Foot This thing was Going to be Very Quick and Capable Indeed.
John Le Men was also Another Favourite at the Venue Having Tuned and Tweaked his Ford Escort MK2 Another Car that Once Ruled the BTCC Era with the Likes of Alan Man Racing the MK1 Version of the Escort taking it to Many Victories. With over 180 Break Horse Power under Johns Right Foot and a Tone of Torque Due to the Fast and Lightweight Design this Car is One not to Miss on The Race Track and not to mention The Beautiful Sound of the 2.2 Engine Roaring Away Down the Straight's.
Just Like Before at Lydden Hill Each Driver was Given a Practice Session in order to Test their Cars and Make Any Adjustments Needed in order to Gain that All Important Tenth or Even 1 Hole Second Difference they Needed in Order to Beat their Competitors. This Makes for some Really Intense and Exciting Sprinting Action to Watch as Each Driver Pushes themselves and The Car to their Limits in a Race Against Time to set the Fastest Lap.
During Practice Dave Rayner Set A Very Fast Lap Time of 108.16 Putting Him Second in his Class being Beaten by Mark Barr who clocked in an Impressive 97.10 Lap. Really Fantastic Effort from Both Drivers and Some Seriously Quick Driving.
Another Driver Pushing Hard was John Le Men Who Put in a Very Respectable 117.90 on His First Run of The Day. Still Some Work and Tweaking to be Done as John Gets to Know More About his Car and its Abilities Around the Circuit.
Bob Woods was also Pushing Hard and Making His Cortina Sing as it Danced Around the Circuit in Practice Scoring a Very Nice 129.99 Time and Looking Like He was Really Enjoying His Time out there With The Car. Really Well Done to Him.
As The Day Progressed it Started to Rain Hard and this Made it Tricky for A Lot of Drivers Around the Circuit with Many of The Porches Spinning after Going through The Goodwood Chicane but Thankfully No One was Hurt and No Cars were Harmed or Damaged.
With The Rain Sticking Around for The Rest Of The Day the Event was Brought to a Sad Close After Three Timed Runs From Each Competitor Due to The Weather and Yet Everybody still Had Fun and Enjoyed the Track No Matter what The Weather Conditions were.

Tyler Allen and Jay Root tune their acoustics before a planned performance at Penn State University. But to everyone's dismay they got shut down by the Penn State Police before they could even finish setting up.
Car tuning is the modification of a car to optimise it for a different set of performance requirements from those it was originally designed to meet. Most commonly this is higher engine performance and dynamic handling characteristics but cars may also be altered to provide better fuel economy, or smoother response. The goal when tuning is the improvement of a vehicle's overall performance in response to the user's needs. Often, tuning is done at the expense of emissions performance, component reliability and occupant comfort.
As a culture has grown around modified cars the term tuning has grown to encompass the cosmetic and stylistic changes owners make to personalize their vehicles. These changes can range from functional modifications designed to improve the performance or functionality of the car, to visual modifications which alter the aesthetics of the car and, in the case of certain mods, sometimes be detrimental to the performance or functionality of the car.
