I don't think there's any need for a "system" as such for not placing younger marshalls in a position of risk near a ramp - surely it's down to common sense for the older drivers when they marshal to offer to swap with a younger driver?

Driving standards are always going to be a bone of contention when it comes to racing within the relatively tight confines of a village hall. We've all had our frustrations and felt hard done by when on the receiving end of a enthusiastic passing move.

We're in the throes of trying a few different formats at the moment so perhaps staggered starts may help. Personally - I prefer to race against people than the clock. A grid start means I know exactly who is where after the first corner - as stated though perhaps it's time to remind drivers about racing etiquette when it comes to lapped traffic and the "first corner pileup"..........
