I looked on your fotki pages and I see BARC comes up! It reminds me of when I started Race Marshalling at Silverstone in the UK in the mid '70's with the British Motor Racing Marshalls Club!

Most of your pictures are just what we had to train for, although I did my first work on spectator and paddock marshalling for 2 years or so every weekend from March to October!

The rest of my 27 years was spent on Airfield marshalling on small fixed wing, Cessna's and the like for 10 years and then we changed to helicopters as most of the hospitality and race personnel were coming into the larger airports and flying to us by 'copter. We had two unofficial World records for the most movements (landings and take-offs) in one day,  

We still had the odd race meetings (mainly classic car meetings) with small fixed wing aircraft ( first and second world war planes as well) and hot-air balloons.

Also our eldest son lived in Winnipeg for a time and would meet up with us in Toronto now and again. He now lives between Edmonton and Calgary running his haulage company, travelling from Vancouver to New Mexico and most everywhere else throughout Canada and the USA.

Thanks for looking and I hope you enjoyed the BARC race photos. A lot of people say they love racing but never get to a track, preferring to watch it on the telly...too bad, they don't know what they are missing. I volunteered at the tracks back from 1975 to 1982 and started again a few years ago. The smell of burning rubber, burning fuel, burning oil, not always good smells but all part of racing. I go to a few airshows in the area and two air museums and they are really amazing! Even though I understand the laws of physics and everything, I am always amazed when a plane takes off  and then lands on those chicken legs with wheels  Thanks for you message

For all you Canadians who are ordering parts or kits from the U.S., please remember the dollar exchange is very important, especially now that it is 40%, or more! That means your $100 U.S. order will cost you $140 Cdn.! Please stop accusing me of over-charging when all I add in is the dollar exchange. If you want to pay me in U.S. dollars for something you buy from me in Canada, I will gladly accept your U.S. dollars  Thank you...
