I usually stay to the end and help pack away, but I had a nightmare last night, Club truck broke a wishbone when another truck ran into it, so I let Lewis run the Blitz (first timer) steering was a bit sensitive, so he stopped so I could turn the DR down a wee bit, meanwhile Puppy picked it up thinking it was broke and pulled us off the track as it didnt have a gear cover on it? (its a short course truck)

While I understand the safety aspect for marshalling but even my 6yr knows not to touch the throttle whilst being marshalled! It seems mad to me as its got a massive body shell covering all the inner bits and if its not spinning theres no danger, I looked around and only saw 1 other car out of about 20 I saw with a gear cover on....? can someone point me in the direction of the regs surrounding this.

Peter and I both run the TEKNO SCT which does not have a gear cover at all from the factory, do I assume we now cannot run these trucks indoor.

So I too was not that happy as I paid the money for the 2 of us and only did a heat each? To add insult to injury I ripped the arse out of my work trousers marshalling a car after the race I couldnt race in

Rant over, back in 2 wks providing I can run the TEKNO without a gear cover on it.
