The COC certainly pulled quite a few Iame drivers in for a chat over the weekend. This was even after the second practice session on the Saturday, when all the Iame drivers were gathered together on the dummy grid and read the riot act.

The previous meeting had been great. Although the grids were admittedly smaller, there were no red flags in the Iame class and no serious incidents all weekend. The drivers all managed to race cleanly and show each other respect on and off the track.

Whether the COCs had their hands tied by the limited penalties that could be applied under the MSA regulations, or whether they were reticent to punish visiting teams on the run up to the Super 1 meeting in August, there did not seem to be many penalties being applied that resulted in any change in the standard of driving or attitude of some of the participants.

I was originally planning to take my lad down to the Super 1 meeting in August to watch, thinking that it might be inspiring to see the 'top racers' in the country racing at what is essentially our home track. After seeing the way some of them drive and behave, I don't think that I will bother. They just weren't, on the whole, a particularly good advertisement for the series.

Neither was the language being used by some of the team mechanics in front of the kids. I'm no angel and my language can be a bit fruity at times, but even my lad commented on the choice of vocabulary that was being used......
