An Amish lady is trotting down the road in her horse and buggy when she is pulled over by a cop.

"Ma'am," said the cop, "I'm not going to ticket you, but I do have to issue you a warning. You have a broken reflector on your buggy."

"Oh, I'll let my husband, Jacob, know as soon as I get home," responded the Amish lady.

"That's fine. Another thing, ma'am. I don't like the way that one rein loops across the horse's back and around one of his testicles. I consider that animal abuse. Have your husband take care of that right away!" instructed the cop.

Later that day, the lady is home telling her husband about her encounter with the cop.

"Well, dear, what exactly did he say?" asked Jacob.
"He said the reflector is broken," replied the lady.

"I can fix that in two minutes. What else?" wondered Jacob. "I'm not sure, Jacob... something about the emergency brake"...

My brother in law has been a marshall for many years, primarily at Thruxton, Gurston and Goodwood.

He's now trained as a first response medic and has attended a number of incidents that sound rather nasty.  These have included some major incidents at Thruxton and a fatal crash at the FoS a number of years ago where a fellow marshal and friend was struck and killed by a car that left the course at the top of the hill.

I take my hat off to him and his unpaid, volunteer colleagues for the work they do at motorsport events.

I sometimes envy his ability to be able to get 'up close' to the action, but when the sticky stuff hits the fan, I know the seat in the grandstand suddenly gets a lot more comfortable.

On the video clip previously posted, the reason given for replacing the fuel cell is that the Sunoco racing fuel includes ethanol and this degrades the fuel cell material which could lead to fuel line blockages.
Hence, they fitted a new cell to alleviate this.

What happened to Saleen, has the rule book been unkind to them?

Please provide some space for the Ferrari Spider / JPChenet / Rick Cutler / Gibberish / Steve Brown / Team Zarse / RS2's? within the CA compound.

Muchos gracias, see you Friday.

Glad to see his injuries were only minor.

I guess this event will accelerate the development of the C6 racer!

Yes, enough to make anyone slighty moist.

Gilles, I suppose you posted that after being rather over 'refreshed' on Bastille Day.

Vive la France !

Scientists for Health UK suggested that, considering the results of a recent analysis that revealed the presence of female hormones in beer, men should take a concerned look at their beer consumption. The theory is that beer contains female hormones (as hops contain phytoeostrogens) and drinking it may turn men into women.

To test the theory, 100 men were given 6 pints of beer each to drink within a one hour period. It was then observed that 100% of the men gained weight, talked excessively without making sense, became overly emotional, couldn't drive, failed to think rationally, argued over nothing, refused to apologize when obviously wrong, and had to sit down while urinating.

No further testing was considered necessary.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but P16 campsite is the area we used for camping at the Pre Quals.
It's basically a grassed car park right where the inner fairground is during June (where the bungee etc was).

Facilities are the permanent toilet block across the way and you're right next to the village - although it's all a bit quiet during PQs.

P16 is the inner fun fair / fun fair operatives camping during June.
