July starts with more excitment but not from cars.

   
Current NewsJune finished with about the same speed and excitement as it started. The Mini Coopers put on a really good show and in combination with the Vintage Club and the ASA club the races were fun to watch. The Mini folks were optimistic that they would like to play at BIR again so we'll keep our fingers crossed.

The big item of interest is that the Vintage club donated a 4 digit number board to Red Light Rescue for use at our events. this also included 2 sign boards with "hand", "window", "roof" and "all" for use at 6. Please take the time to thank the Vintage folks for their efforts and gift. On a side note Red Light is in the process of acquiring 2 more flag sets for the new track at BIR. This should complete the set to the extent that we can cover all manned corner stations with our own equipment if the need arises.

But the REAL excitement came today (7/3) at about 4pm...

While dealing with a locked gate at the main entrance a helicopter decided that the place to land to set up for chopper rides was in the run-off area for the new turn 8. This lead to a very quick trip from the main gate to a location between the chopper and the track with a discussion about where he really needed to be. All things said and done, I guess that the old track surface just short of the bridge will be the LZ for the weekend. But I'd have to say the it was a first for me at the track. The CRA folks probably think this is "old hat" as they fly choppers in a little more often but for this RLR staff memer I'd have to claim it as a first. "Control, Control, we a a helicopter landing in the run-off at 8 and he's not in a safe place." Yep one interesting afternoon. Have a good 4th and enjoy your weekend.
