My worst marshalling attempt was at the neoinvitational 2006 - my first time racing a nitro and I was marshaling the super dangerous area in the middle of the track. After getting almost hit in the side of the head and killed (I blocked it with my arm) I went to marshall a car and put my finger over the flywheel by accident (i dint know it was there, honest!) and the car cut.. Feeling like a bit of a nobber I attempted to jump over the barrier to give it to the pit man who was screaming at me - I got caught up and found myself laying full body flat on my face right across the main straight with cars at the other end bearing down on me. AWESOME.
Quite how I survived I'll never know.
