The Tin Top was an immaculate bright yellow Midget brought down from York for it's first run out with a 'new' yet to race driver.
The rebuilt 1380cc A Series engine was redlined @ 8200 although on the day the driver kept it below 5K.
Looking forward to seeing him during the year @ the MGCC meetings as he's racing in the Midget / Sprite Challenge in Class E.
After lunch the bikes when out -11 in total, again in an open pitlane, very spectacular were 2 BSB Superstockers that were definitely the fastest things we saw all day.
Lets hope the next day on Wednesday March 6th attracts more cars

Friday is an unusual day for Mallory. Was that a one off or have they abandoned Wednesdays?
Obviously they won't get many Historics yet as so many people are touring NZ and Oz at the moment ....
