I know that the rules are you go when its safe, but lets be honest, we all try and recover any cars asap, just how you would like to be marshalled, sometimes that ends in doing the dance of a thousand fairies at the end of the sraight as cars hurtle through, round and under you.

I was at a 1/5th meeting years back, got smashed in the shin by 11kg+ of rc lorry, that made a right mess, flesh bone blood etc, put me out of work for a while, my car with all the RC gear in it was a long way from home.

I was in the pitlane wearing Hi viz jacket.

I have 2 accidents in the last few years 1 was out of hours from the day of racing even though it was a accident that occured to do with a receiver pack,2nd accident serious soft tissue injury,ligement damage and in plaster for 4 months so that was also a very long haul.2nd accident wearing a high viz vest at the time
