Title: Post 31 report
Post by: Gordonwr on June 18, 2008, 02:10:57 pm
Well we had a quiet week in the end. Our post was on the Mulsanne just down from the tram terminal at Antares, handy for a trip to town.
We had possibly the first fatality during the evening session on Wednesday when a local moggy got splattered by a vette, and it flew about 40 foot in the air, before making its way towards the first chicane in bits!
Our camp site was certainly peaceful, after we got back from the DFH party on Friday at about 2am everybody had gone to bed and the place was in darkness !!
The only visitor we had during the race was Amanda Stretton on her first racing lap in the Chamberlain car, which she managed to get back to the pits after some verbal assistance from a couple of mechanics who arrived on bikes. Needless to say she was not a happy bunny as I don't believe the car made it back out!!

All in all I think she saw her arse as well !!

I think the car made it back out briefly, but not with Amanda Stretton aboard.
