CONCOURSE CONTROVERSY
Rumour is that
Chris Wilkinson of the SLCC doesn't like running concourse
competitions anymore because misquote, "nobody paints their own
any more." It turns out that statement was very prophetic! At
the SLCC Barham a concourse was reluctantly run and mistakenly a
woman was chosen to judge the winner. The advice given to the
aesthetically challenged individual was, "it has to look
raced." She took the advice literally and set about finding the
car that looked as if it had spent the most time chewing curbs. Ian
Mullaney's new Mazda 6 had only got round the track a handful of
times but its bumper was covered in battle scars and fitted the bill
perfectly. Without hesitation the judge picked the two tone blue
body complete with dragon under shell stickers. The Yateley crew
members were completely astonished and blind confusion followed
whilst they tried to convinced themselves that what they had just
seen wasn't a hallucination induced by inhaling excessive amounts of
motor cleaner vapour. Then as Ian M strolled back with a Cheshire
cat grin on his face it appeared the impossible was true. Finch
Senior was fuming - the final twist in this ugly tale was that not
only was the shell totally inferior to everything else on show but
it had been Painted by Ian Finch for Ian Mullaney. Lastly the shell
and its owner posed for a photo shoot on the track - lapping up all
the controversial attention.
Above: Heated debate over the moral issue of Ian M's win.
More to follow
soon.......... (yes I do know that James was there)
