We barred up, but after a leisurely lap in the towcar he pronounced the circuit unacceptable for practice as there was crap all over the corners.
That'll be the day !!

My buddies and I sprung into action, commandeered a set of brooms from the unflappable Bay Park caretaker, Colin Wightman, and set to, sweeping the four corners free of debris in record time, and were rewarded by seeing the mighty Lola-Chev fire into life and cut some spectacular laps, pretty stoked !

Weren't we, Murray !
"We were!" (memory like a sewer pipe!) So the first job in motor racing was fence painting not corner sweeping.
That certainly was a magnificent looking Lola.
