Ernie and Lady in
"Period Attire"
From Ernie:
"The signs are posted at the paddock
entrances – “No Hawking”, ladies dress smartly, no jeans, no training shoes,
period clothing or coat and tie is mandatory”. One time coming from the
drivers Mess Hall… I was told to hide the contemporary plastic soda bottle…
next time I had a banana and I winked… this is a “period fruit”. This was
the day to sign in with all of the required International Driving / Racing
licenses and FIA papers for the car as well as to have helmets and uniforms
checked. We all go to the Goodwood Estate for the Goodwood Cricket Matches
where they present the mandatory Drivers Meeting… much caution is given
as a warning as the track is fast and difficult. Tea and sandwiches are
served with scones and desserts in the proper English style. We hand out
our team shirts embroidered by John Dishman of Pep Supply (we were all
“smartly dressed as they say in UK) with “Hollywood Motors” across the
back.
We had our own team “Prize Giving” as
they call it in UK… with Elaine handing out trophies to Big Erik and Mike.
