Anybody watching this weekends Tuscan races could have been forgiven for thinking they were watching a stock car race, it would appear that a couple (and I do stress it was only a couple) of drivers have spent their winter months racing at speedworth!! and the rather obvious team tactics, any top F1 team would have been proud of...and all from the same "Team"... Hmmm
It is a crying shame that these few are bringing this series down to such a level, Lets hope the organisers do something about such behaviour.

And what of David Mason's "stock car" move on Giles Cooper? a tap is one thing but to keep the boot in is quite another,and on the subject of Mr D mason why was he allowed to continue in Sundays race when his bonnet must have been obscuring his field of view? surely he should have recieved a black and orange for that?

I hope you are not comparing mason and McKeller, mason is far from that league, from what I have been told he was a basher in MGF's too...

""What you must bear in mind is that Mr Taylor, Bert, from CDL started working with McKellar and started him on his now flourishing motorsport career.""

Started him on his career ??? are you sure??? Bert Taylor worked for McKeller senior and was Ian's mech when he raced hot rods at 17..... Did Bert have anything to do with McKeller in Tuscans? I believe the car that McKeller drove was and still is a factory car and is now being driven by Ben "lets go round again" Samuelson.
""If Mr Taylor has decided to place David Mason in one of his Tuscans he must honestly believe that DM has the talent required to do the job. Bert and the boys are not in the habit of creating work for themselves so would not sign someone who was constantly damaging cars.""

Place DM in one of his cars????? DM pays to be in that car, who owns it i don't know, but like all the others out there he is paying for it...

""I thought was a bump from Dowling on Shepherd as they went down into the Old Hairpin for the first time, followed by Shepherd pulling off before McLeans. I hadn't had time to sort out who was where so may have picked the the wrong cars, one white one black. Did I see DM hit Cooper, then? if so, it didn't look that bad, just different braking maybe with the first few so close together.""

The incident with GC and DM took place on the opening lap of the first race on Sat, the black car you refe to was i would guess that of Jay Sheperd

Well AF37ect I bow to your superior historical knowledge, so tell us which way around was it? Mr Taylor bringing Mr McKeller into tuscans or vice versa?
Do you agree with JamesC's comparison between David Mason & McKeller? Sadley I won't be going to the next one as Knockhill is a bit too far for me to go, Lets hope the racing is a bit cleaner north of the border...
