at plymouth rc we run leecy and nitro together as it keeps the numbers up durring hard times such as these, and i have lost count of the amount of time a marshall has come running back to the pits with a car only to find out its leccy, this is frustrating to say the least.
we also have the saftey first policy because our chairman got ahead of himself once went out to marshall a car on the triple only to by greeted by a hyper 9e to the temple,he was ok not even a cut, but we have a laugh about it at every drivers meeting now.
it get frustrating if you are on the end of slow/bad marshalling but you would feel so bad if you were to cause an accident and hurt a marshall or member of the public, trust me i know because i was racing at an event held off site by my club, caught the rope on the outside of the last corner and ended up shooting off flat chat into a small child who was standing in the pit area,needless to say i did not finish the race as i was shaken at thinking i had just injured a small child (he was ok,thank god)
at the end of the day we take part in a hobby where if things go wrong people will get hurt,thats why we all have insurance with our brca membership.and in this culture of blame we have saftey has to come first
