Welcome to the Christmas Special from Jonesey-Racing.

As you can see no expense has been spent to create a fully festive report for you all.

First off, Congratulations are in order to the Long Haired One for clinching the 2008 title, yes I refer to our very own Yeti, Dave Brooke and his trusty MGB V8.

Well done!

Next an urgent matter has been brought to my attention, namely the Christmas Video.
Lots of you have been filming away and in order for the Christmas DVD to be created for 2008 Ben Jacques is asking if you can forward any footage to him for inclusion at the following address ASAP so he can get it ready in time for the Christmas Dinner.

11 Keats Avenue,
Britannia Village,
London,
E16 1TW.

In the absence of any real race news I have had to trawl the vaults for some little snippets of Peter Best related information and failing this make up the rest.

It has been generally understood that Long Haired Dave vowed not to cut his hair until he had won the championship, and although a previous winner you can see by the lengths he went to how long it has taken him to regain the Championship again!

Rumour has it that with his goal achieved those famous locks are to be snipped off and auctioned for charity, I would suggest a worthwhile one would be the www.motorsportsafetyfund.com which supports those hard pressed and unpaid Marshals we all rely on.

I believe there are no shortages of offers from those willing to perform the haircut and Blaine Neaves has been seen sharpening up his angle grinder in readiness.

Incidentally I have added another in-car video to my YouTube section, kindly supplied by Cool as a Cucumber Racer Simon Hutchinson. It covers the Castle Combe Race this year. 

So if you want to see how cool Simon is throughout the race you could do worse than fast forward this video to the 7 minutes and 15 seconds bit where you will see and hear Mr H offering words of encouragement and advice to a lowly white metro.(it’s on page two).

 And of course none of us can ever forget the traditional end of race chant again first brought to us by Mr H…it was a reference to where he liked to take his holidays as I recall…was it Baldocks, Baldocks and Baldocks again?

OK then “Just for Fun” I have conducted  thorough Festive Research into some of the more well known drivers and was surprised to find many of them have very famous alter egos and have often appeared in public in various roles when they are not racing.

So here we have a once off Christmas Feature I like to call Separated at Birth….sounds weird I know but you’ll get the idea.

Just have a look at the driver’s names below and follow the links to find their alter egos!!

To use a well known phrase, “in no particular order” here they are:-

DAVE BROOKE CAR 11

PETE BURCHILL CAR 13

SIMON (Mr Cool) HUTCHINSON CAR 43  

BLAINE NEAVES CAR 7

JAMES WALPOLE CAR 15

ALAN BROOKE CAR 44

JAMES DARBY CAR ??

DAN LUDLOW CAR CAR 70

 ALAN JONES CAR 45

In my last report I made reference to Robert Beasley by his nick-name Weasley. My lawyers have asked me to point out that he is not at all Weasley and is in fact a very nice bloke and it just happens that his name rhymes with Weasley. I am happy to put matters right here.

ROBERT BEASLEY CAR 80

OK then folks, I realise I will be eating my Christmas Dinner in the car park and have already employed a food taster to check for any poisoning attempts.

But I guess you are  all wondering if there is a look alike for me…well here it is JONESEY

Happy Christmas to you all and thanks for a Great Year’s Racing.

See you all at the Christmas Dinner….and by the way at great personal expense here are the Festive graphics…too much do you think?

Humbug!!
