Looking at the positive camber of the front wheels, I hope it stayed on the road after landing.

On a rather auspicious date - 21/8/21, 'The Bee's' core 'A Team' ran their first meeting since the Pandemic using the 'Bentley Straight' track, which minimises the need for marshals.

   

Six club stalwarts donned masks to venture back into the fray. With Mark J behind the camera we see (from left to right - just!) David, Mark R, Shaun, Bill and Vic with, to the right foreground, the Race Coordinator race management system keeping score.

   

A different heat, with the all-important hand gel in evidence at the marshal's station.

   

From our man on the spot "Only six of us raced last night, but it was great to get back together again after so long."   Thumbup

(The main thing is, after all this time in storage, everything seemed to work just fine.)

Great way to publicise your next Club meeting though....very imaginative
