Everything at old hall was dealt with smartly, our two Nadlingetts both got to do a bit of...

dodging for cover...
running to the incident
moving cars from bad locations
assisting with recovery

Watching some belting racing, FF post 89, not a big grid, but a brilliant race.

A great day - thanks to all at Old Hall for dealing with everything well (and sending some down to the Avenue!) It was typical that within the 5 minutes where I hopped in to the post chief's box, a mazda came straight for it! Yep, I ducked!
Thanks again everybody!

It was a pleasure to make your return to the Old Country such a pleasant(?) experience - even if you did at times appear to be trying to live up to the "whingeing Pom" stereotype!

That's the figure I heard. I don't think many posts missed out!

KayBee was wondering why the vans didn't race. I had to explain to her on the way home that they were Porsche Boxsters, not Peugeot Boxers!

Oh Eye, he was at the back of the box digging through the wall

It was a bit of an wakward one to move afterwards, because it had buried itself sideways on in a recticell barrier it took a bit of shoving to move it so we could attatch a towstrop

I'm afraid it's true but it was when the car was demonstrated at Oulton and it became a practical demonstration of when a red flag is deployed when Nadine was explaining red flags to a group of Nadlings and it promptly crashed at her feet.

Thanx to everyone @ Deer Leap for all their hard work - plenty of multitasking.

We had a similar thing up at Shell, car 17 came in and a rabbit ran out even faster - the look on its face was priceless!

So was the look on the drivers face when you were explaining the rabbit story with a big grin on your face

It's rumoured that the JCB got more laps in than most of the competitors!

Aye but it was doing the short circuit as we didnt see it at Shell so the laps would not have counted!!!
