He is believed to be a 56-year-old Irish priest, called Father Neil Horan, originally from Scartaglen, Co Kerry, but now living and working in London.
Dressed in an orange kilt, with a Star of David pinned to the front, a green shirt and brandishing a banner reading "Read the Bible, the Bible is always right", the man caused cars to swerve wildly as they swept down the straight. If he got hit it would have made 'smashing entertainment'.
Father Horan, who is based in Clapham, London, was ordained at St Peter's in Wexford in 1973. In recent weeks he has been issuing appeals to the media to highlight events in the Middle East which, he believes, form part of a Bible prophecy foreshadowing the end of the world in the "Armageddon of a third World War". To highlight his beliefs, Father Horan dances in public places wearing what he describes as "Irish national costume" as part of a "dance for peace".
"Over the next few weeks," reads Father Horan's statement, "I will, God willing, be parading in front of media buildings, in different parts of London, as a personal witness to this appeal [for peace in the Middle East]. I will be doing my peace dance to symbolise the wholesome entertainment which will fill the Earth. I am not a prophet, I am only the interpreter of the prophets."
Loved the tackle, should have been below the waist though.

I guess he did not read the 10 Commandments before he did what he did and could have done.
It is just lucky that none of the drivers wound up having him as a hood ornament.
The coverage in Australia was just about to go to a commercial break and they interrupted it because they showed the footage of him running down the track.
