In our own little huddle we put this down to ex touring car racers, is this fair?  |
Hi Dan,
I don't know whether your post was aimed at my marshalling in any way, but I will apologise now for not hearing your call when you pulled up near me - I thought you had broken your car.
And for the record, I am a touring car driver but make every effort to reach the car before it has finished its 17th barrel roll and try to ensure a swift turn over so to speak. I don't think I could say the same about a few people that I saw - both buggy and TC people alike.
I do agree some of the marshalling was bad though, there were often points unmanned which meant that cars would go unnoticed for a few seconds. Personally, I would like to see marshalls be made to stay on their points until relieved like usual and actual points to be clearly marked with race numbers.
If somone wants to re-educate me on the intricacies of jumping a 4WD over that mahoosive launch pad at the next event, then I would be very grateful!
