PROCEEDINGS

No objections were raised against the composition of the court. Having heard evidence provided, the court finds as follows:

FINDINGS OF THE COURT

1. The reported behavior from the competitors family and crew is unacceptable. This is especially serious as it was the official scrutineer Mr. P.P. Prinsloo that was being abused by both the mother and father of the competitor.
2. In terms of GCR 172 (x) the abuse of officials is unacceptable and the competitor is reminded that he is responsible for his pit crew. Their actions, particularly the exposing of Mrs. Dunn’s posterior to at least fifteen people brings Motorsport into disrepute in terms of GCR 172 (v).
3. Bearing in mind the seriousness of their actions both the competitor Basil Dunn and his father (Basil Dunn Snr) are penalized by the withdrawal of their competition licences from all forms of Motorsport for a period of six months from the date of these findings.
4. These penalties are applied in terms of GCR 202 and 220.


No costs are awarded in the above, and all parties are reminded of their right to appeal. These findings were read at 20h00.

I have to go along with Pete on this one. Like my dad once said, "it's not what you say but how you say it."

Perhaps a more, um, attractive delivery method would've conveyed the message but not offended the group. ;)
