It's a while, over 30 years, since I last marshalled at a motorsport event so I decided to volunteer to marshall at the Keith Pattison Memorial Sprint, run by The York Motor Club. The venue was Teesside Autodrome which is only a fifteen minute drive from home.
Despite the rain, quite heavy at times, it was a good day's sport with some spins, thankfully without damage or injury. The weather did improve as the day wore on and it became quite warm in bright sunshine after the event finished.
The good news was that fellow MG Car Club Tyne Tees Center member, Peter Sewell, got a class win in his quick MGB roadster.

Some more video of the day. Keep an eye open for car 14. This is a 1935 Fiat 508s Balilla which can trace its competiton history back to the 1930s. Thanks to Pam for her work with the camera. Impressive, considering it's the first time she'd used it.
