Watching Speedvision's coverage of Goodwood (historic cars) has
generated two related curiosities:
1) Why on earth did pre-war cars have massive positive camber in the
front?  The trend is so universal it looks intentional, but handling
would have been awful with that design.
2) Who among you in UK would be willing to provide me with info about
that event in the future?  Basic stuff like when it is, who to contact,
what else is nearby (how far to the Spitfire Graveyard),  etc.
