**** Mondello International Oct 8th PM ****

After all my talk, I think a potential buyer of my car is coming up on sunday. What time do you reckon you'd be heading home at alex?

Come along reckless. It'll be fun. Just hide the crutches and hop to the car.

Cmon now, I'm not gonna be driving :) I'll show you the lines if you want though Kin :)

Cool, this is encouraging. I'll see if I can make it, would like a spin in "flying" alex's m3 :) Someone might be coming to buy my car that day though, so that would have to take precedence. Thanks lads.

My foot was ze broken, nearly healed at this stage, cast is off. Cannot put weight on it yet, hence the crutches. They'll know I have crutches if they see me crutching it over to the car :) 

Eh, this is a long shot, but theres no way that I'd be allowed as a passenger in a car, if I'm on crutches?

Driving Safety

One of the things that everybody respects is the overtaking on the straights rule.

But when the driver of a faster in straight line car does not acknowledge that there are other drivers faster in corners or later on the brakes than him, this leads to a queue of frustrated drivers, so if you are in this situation, back off on the straight, move well out of the way and let the quicker drivers through. You will then have an opportunity to see the driving lines and braking points of the quicker drivers.

We do not want to have to bring people in for overtaking on the brakes. It may be the way it is done in racing, but NOT on track days. Equally we do not want to have to bring people in for creating traffic jams! Find your own space there are 2.2 miles of track for you to enjoy.

School Girl? Really?

Can't wait myself. Should be a fun day. Is anybody meeting up afterwards?

Also a reminder about the money people owe towards the Killian fund from the karting day in Mondello last month. It's not much, but if you don't pay up I'll break your legs. (Well okay not your legs, but I'll break your wiper blades).

Just furhter to Ger's comments, I will be working with Mondello staff to ensure thet there is no messing on track. Anyone found driving dangerously will be sent home.

Latest News

Mondello is currently refurbishing the hospitality suites over the pit garages. This means that sign on will happen in the room over the bar (the older building in the paddock).

Also 3 car marques are using the pit garages for training purposes, so none of these will be available on the day. Mondello has said that the Scrutiny shed at the back of the paddock will be open if anybody needs it.

People have got used to the Porsches sharing the day with us. This is not the case on Sunday, we are the only club booked in

So get there early so we can maximise our time on track. I will be there at 12

Mondello has cameras covering all of the track, this system will be active and recording on Sunday. I have been a Steward at a Mondello race meeting and have used the system to judge on an racing incident and can say that there is no part of the track that is not covered by at least two cameras from different angles.

So to quote "Hill Street Blues"

"Lets be careful out there"
