Milzy as I said yesterday when you came over to apologose you tried and that is all that can be asked. I have no problem as after all I was the one that had crashed. I may have been unhappy if you had been watching a train go by or something but you gave it your best shot, only wish that when Darren had hit you you would have laid across the track to stop the rest
Agree with Matt that a little bit of work needs doing to the up ramp and top but don't change the overall shape as Chris says. The jump is cool going the other way so it would a be a shame to change it. There are other options than having cars go straight over it anyway and 10 years ago the cars weren't as fast when it was first done.
If you choose to do the jump and you crash it is your option, I would not have expected Milzy to go for my car to be fair with 9 other maniacs approaching fast. As long as you can see they are paying attention and would be ready to go when they can it is fine by me. I could have gone the safe option but as I had not done all day I didn't want to start....and it is faster to jump it no question but only when you land it....unless your shock screw then breaks out of you wishbone

Just one of those things didn’t stop me jumping back in front of cars or marshalling that area any less, Mossy Niggs and I think a 3rd car crashed in that area a few laps later and I still jumped onto the track and got them- no point letting one toy car hitting you change your attitude on marshalling
I really don’t want this to turn into some long winded controversy thread about health and safety and how we should marshal, end of the day I go hit so what I’m cool with it people from EPR asked if I was ok I said yes end of matter
