Day 2 of the 2001 Clipsal 500 …

There is one constant with the Clipsal 500 – we get to the track in the dark and we leave the track in the dark with a small window in between to grab a few hours shut eye.

Today was no different. In fact, we had another twilight race which ran later than last night. It was a one hour Australian GT Championship Race but after half an hour we weren’t sure whether the race would last that long.

In the first half hour about half of the field was out of the race, leaving 13 cars to compete into the dark and the flaming pyrotechnics at the completion of the race.

Being the second day, I had another 20 fire fighters at my disposal which made the “chess game” of positioning fire marshals a lot easier.

Today looked like it was going to be a quiet day for recoveries and it was but we still got a lot of business from the Formula Ford and Aussie Racing Cars.

Bring on Day 3 …..
