BTCC at Mondello park (yeah, and all the other races!)
Was it just my eyes (or my tele) or do all the Marshals out there wear dark green overalls???
they tend to blend in with the tyre walls that have been belted and painted green!! Lee |

Still I like the way they paint the tyres green so the drivers don't know what they hit!! |

Having watched the days proceedings on MotorsTV,I was amused by one Marshals method of sending a greeting to her Mother,with the help of the SC board On a different note,not having been to Mondello,I noticed on the Startline,an access "gate" seemed to be permanently open.Is this standard practise?

You haven't been? You should. Great week-end - interesting circuit and the locals are very welcoming. Just back now (40m from Dublin to Birmingham and 2 hrs from Brum to Wolverhampton. Good old BR!
Gonfra, didn't realise you were there. Where were you? |

Eventful drive home , a mammoth 14 hours! Part of Dublin sealed off, led a convoy of assorted BTCC trucks through assorted housing estates and narrow roads. 3 hours from Holyead to the M6 then battled down the M6 and M40, pick car up from Thruxton, arrive home at 1045!! Phew!! |

Later on when our very own DocH was trying to pull one of the grid girls there was a "Vote Grace" SC board as there was a "Vote For The Winning Grid Girl" contest. I've still to see any of the footage of the board as I forgot to tape the TV coverage As for the open gate at start line, there's a gate at the end of the pit wall, just where the armco starts and there is also a section with an offset armco gap just before the start/finish line. This is a fixed "gate" where the angled armco is supported by heavy posts and is actually about 18 inches above track level where it "open" |

I see Mr Plato was living up to his reputation by blaming everyone bar himself when he cocks up. "The car in front braked for too long forcing me to hit him" was, near enough, the quote I heard him give to Vicky the Henderson.

I've got it on tape but not yet watched it all, so i'll let you know. I think i caught part of that interview when it was live, and it was something on the lines of "he braked more than i did. i wasn't having any other that, so i hit him"....
