 I occasionally see this event on the Speed Channel.
Are there any listers that have attended this gathering? I'm curious about it's history......

 I'm amazed that he(or anyone for that matter) would be allowed to ride there.....unless
he's(now) the owner.........

Doug Lampkin is a huge hero over in England, so that may explain the mansion riding. But HD theater had a whole hour on goodwood the other day, racing british singles. It was great, lots of Nortons, Matchbox's etc, even a honda 450 and a italian single. But no royal enfield!!!! :P

 "Doug Lampkin is a huge hero...."

 Wow,I guess he is....
 I've seen C-47's wearing the D-day Invasion stripes parked in the back ground,along with many attendees wearing 40's attire,driving period vehicles. Looks like one
hell of an event......
