Run In, RUN OUT!! Kyalami Marshalls Training, 17/01/2015 …….

Ya well, heard about a marshalls training day at Kyalami, A friend Nick Van Wyk sends me a message on Thursday, they need more cars and we need some running in time, a perfect match. We are asked to do some “stunts” to test the marshalls. Our first stunt, run into the kitty litter in the Bowl. Never been in kitty litter before I find Fossa can probably be a beach buggy running way deep. The marshalls arrive, ask if I need assistance and wanted to push Fossa out, simply release the clutch and Fossa drives straight out. Stunt two: A Marcos will simulate a breakdown in corner fourteen, I must overtake a Capri under double waved yellow. I catch up with the Capri and start the illegal overtaking manoeuvre, as I pull in next to the Capri ……. same place as 8 November 2014, something starts going …….. the marshalls get some real work!!!!!
