One for Slim if you are doing the commentary again.
How to pronounce the team name:-
Its
Fou - Are - Yi - Racing. Its phonetic spelling of the Aberdeen Doric.
It means Who are you racing.
We had a bit of a conversation at Mojave in 2015 where you interviewed my team mate Mikey when he was wearing his helmet at the pre-stage line.
Mike is a bit deaf and folk in our own village don't understand his dialect, you had no chance.
The other two brit teams, Team Page and The Diamond Mob and ourselves had a bit of a laugh over the interview when we were relaxing (drunk) over supper that night.
I wrote down the interview back at the Motel6 that night, it went like this-
This is not the story of the greatest race interview in the world this is just a tribute:
COMMENTATOR, “well up next is bike 424, Four Yeeeee Racing, from Scotland?!”
Commentator sticks microphone into racers helmet.
MIKEY, “Aye”
Silence.
COMMENTATOR, “ a well, How fast are you hoping to go”
MIKEY, “ just did a 218mph run”
Silence.
COMMENTATOR, “and how fast are you hoping to go?”
MIKEY, “I’m from sCOTland”
Long silence
COMMENTATOR, “and how are you going to do that speed?”
MIKEY, “Stick it in first then go
Bahh
Bahh
Bahhh
Bahhhhhhhhhh
Bahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Then shut it down”
Longer silence
COMMENTATOR, “ Get your pulled pork sandwiches and other fine foods from Geene at the 5 and dime food stall right here at Mojave international space port right here in Mojave.”
See you on the salt
Charlie.
