Hello Friends,
A few months ago I wrote a little piece about
working a Grand Prix weekend as a pit/grid marshal. I
received a number of very nice replies saying that
they enjoyed learning what the Formula 1 circus looks
like from the inside.
Here is another crack at that same idea but this
time as a random series of pictures from last year.
I'll point out a couple I like then turn you loose to
view them all.
Here's a good starting place; Schumaker's office:

My daughter and her husband in casual mode before
going to work. They're marshals too, as is Rui
Gigante (MGS Listmember with an MGA, an MGB-GT and a
Ferrari 328GTS) but they're not working this year's
event:

Same two at work: http://www.aubard.us/F1/3.jpg
That's me working pit-out:

the radio to Race Control:

The photographer and fellow marshal, responsible
for these pictures, Dr. Brian Manning:

And our SPEED hero, Steve:

Enough of the silliness. Here's the link (to make
it easier for you) to the directory containing the
pictures. Enjoy. http://www.aubard.us/F1
This year I am working pit-in and operating
communications from that station. We have a hard
land-line there just to insure redundancy with the
radios. Our goal, and the reason for communications,
is to guarantee safety and rules-compliance between
pit-in and the scrutineer station in garage 1. The
FIA have their speed radar there also but that's not
our concern.
I leave for Indy in about 4 days. Can't wait!!!
Regards,
rick
