The second year for this event and it's certainly getting bigger and is looking to be one of the main annual events on the Prescott. I enjoyed this event last year and this year certainly lived up to expectations. Great weather coupled with an informal atmosphere as cars took runs up the hill and picnics and bacon butties galore were enjoyed. Top this off with a flyby of a Spitfire and you've got a fantastic day out at Prescott.

Affectionately known as "Roary" this special is a tribute to the 1924 Indianapolis race car built by the Barber Warnock racing team and raced by Alfred Moss. Moss was a dentistry student in America at the time and finished 16th with an average speed of 84mph! He was 34 laps behind the race winner.
