Driving standards

[john333]

Hi all, another great turn out tonight and lots of close competition, but please if you are being lapped try and get out of the way in a place beneficial to both drivers. On our relatively small track one tangle with a backmarker means the end of the race for the leading car.

Also once your race is finished please Marshall before going home, it's not fair on the following drivers, or fellow marshals.

We all love racing but some things have to be done in fairness to fellow racers

Rant over

totally agree, the driving standards of some drivers is not acceptable, what happened to the days when slower drivers let you lap them without having to remind them.
Excellent turn out again last night lets hope this momentum keeps going and turns an already competitive club into a more competitve club (does that make sense lol)

As far as marshalling before you go home bit I try and Marshall every week before I leave but last night I was right on the money as far as time goes and only just made it to work on time but I did inform Jason who was at the time on race control sometimes for me that's all I can do otherwise I cannot race

[john333]

That's a different thing entirely mate, if anyone needs or wants to go home that's fine, no one is held hostage lol

So yeah you did the right thing, just tell someone you're off and we'll get a substitute marshal

I was bad for Marshalling last night as I was running two cars; I’m going to only run one class from now on. However, I’m in the opinion that as long as you have a valid reason and someone know “why” you can’t marshal then no problem. As a club we are all a helpful bunch and always try to help each other, but it seems to be the same people every week doing the do (setting up, packing away and marshalling) when others just sit and chat. There should be a comprise with everyone, if you know you can’t marshal then put more effort setup / packing away, if you can’t pack away then help more with the setup, if you’ve got to get away early or your having car issues then help more next week and so on….

If everyone does there share then no one can get upset.

Anyway on a lighter note, “Gentleman Sausage” if you were there till the end you know what I’m taking about,it’s made me smile all day, I’m a child.

I agree with the setting up and packing away bit that's why I came to help last night I wasn't much help just getting some big stuff out, I really don't like track building but don't mind getting the equipment onto the track for bernnie muzie eccestone to work his magic wish I didn't work nights so I can do a full nights racing and help pack away . Gentlemans sausage ? Do tell is jay in this story or is it random
