Id also like to say well done and thanks to everyone who was involved with the regional on Sunday. The work done to the track made it much more enjoyable & I think most people had a good day.
I felt there were some issues with the layout & how the marshal points worked into it as there were sections that had little cover if you made a mistake which contributed to some of the shouting & frustration that I heard while refereeing.
To a degree its understandable but some people do seam to be going to far lately & for someone to abuse another racer who has given up his time between runs to ref ref is out of order
Things can be said in the heat of the moment which you don't mean, but to then do the same thing again & threaten them is totally unacceptable.
I'm by no means perfect myself but after helping out with refereeing for the last few years at regionals I do wonder sometimes why we bother as you get no thanks and only hassle! Its hard to watch 10 cars at the same time & know who is in what position to try and help people get through traffic.
If anyone thinks they can do a better job & wants to have a go come see Yardy, Jones, Bish or me & I'm sure we can sort you a heat to ref!
Sunday has gone now, so lets just look forward to the next well run Midwest Regional
