Probably the only pic of its kind in the world, this dramatic scene shows the driver actually picking up the token at speed. Note the spike being used for greater grip. This is probably the only pic on the web where the spike is actually seen in use. The token collector spike is usually always seen folded down, as threading the token hoop onto the token spike is a hit-and-miss affair, dependent largely on the skill of the ground staff. Most drivers have their assistant stick out their hand to collect the token. #AUTH1#Dr. Shirish Yande#AUTH2#, 2000. #GOLD#
