My trade mark Australian hat that has brought me racing luck since 1996 went missing at Knockhill," explains Bobby Verdon-Roe.<BR> <BR> "I used to stuff it behind my seat in Tuscans, and ever since I did the same with the Speed 12 at Oulton this year our luck seemed to change. Cainey has become quite superstitious about it!<BR> <BR> "Anyway, when the car caught fire on Friday the hat was comprehensively soaked and covered by fire extinguisher fluid and powder. A thorough washing and it came in very handy on monsoon Sunday. Before I got in the car, I left it on top of our tyre trolley in the pits and haven't seen it since.<BR> <BR> "Did anyone find a hat in the pit lane or paddock during or after the race? I don't know how I'm going to tell Cainey it's gone..... we have already had one iffy result because it wasn't behind our seat!" <BR> <BR> "Contact me through this <A HREF="mailto:BVRchamp@aol.com">link</A> - please. Fingers crossed."<BR> <BR> We're still looking for an image of this item of headgear.<BR> </FONT></TD></TR> </TABLE><BR> </CENTER> <BR><CENTER><font size="1" color="#808080" face="Tahoma">Copyright ©2000-©2023 TotalMotorSport</font></CENTER> </td> </tr> </table> </body>
