I went to a night's dirt racing yesterday. A good fun - although a late end. I knew little about it so it was a learning experience.
Some great racing. And ultimately very club racing. I enjoyed wandering the paddock and seeing bits on cars that are the same the world over.
And the 15 year old grandson of the ticket seller was starting his first race in late crates (No.11).
To my European eyes I was surprised by the marshals driving quads in the opposite was on a practically live track.
And for yellow flag fans, they put them out quick and take them in quick. No laps lost. In the feature race it took four attempts to do lap 21. They got so bored of restarting it that they went single file eventually.
And I will never moan about a delay again. We had ten minutes of a downpour and that added over 2 hours of track prep. Hence the late finish.
Was fun.
