After a slow start we had some great action here all day at until Mick Gould done the launch of the day, the car got away from him on the centre line and he gave the armco a good whack at half track.
Luckily Mick was okay but the armco needed repairing and with little time left the day was called early although I must add the armco did exactly what it was meant to do with no dramas at all.
Who knows what's going to happen tomorrow so if you fancy a great day out tomorrow then take a visit to shakey but bring the sun block

Here are 4 heavily cropped pics of the Mick Gould incident mentioned by Jon.
The chequer board is obviously an aiming point.
Helen should have some good video !
