Default Last night racing.

Just a little rant, The marshalling last night was BAD! I was in heat 2 so the heat 1 drivers was marshalling. There was hardy anyone marshalling, about 3. I know not to crash though but, we all make some mistakes from Time to time, I got stuck on a tire and no one was there. I had to marshal my own car! Can we do something about it?

Happens pal. I think this was only 1 time and some of the drivers in heat 1 were very new to the Hobby. Just gotta make sure all the marshalls are out before the race begins. The drivers in the heat are the best ones to let race control if theres not enough out.

Driver's brief!!! let everybody know what's expected and how it should be done, then start dishing penaltise. That's how it should be at every club every driver experienced or not.

I was there marshalling for heat 2 , and I made sure my son marshalled after his race ( same heat as you ) he lost numerous places because of poor marshalling , I was aware of a shortage of drivers from heat 1 marshalling they just seemed to disappear , it's just not fair though , I agree with neilralph77 , no marshalling and you miss you're next heat , simple , harsh but fair to everyone !

Default Marshalling

Hi guys

I haven't raced at your track and don't know the in's & out's but in general at most club nights the better drivers seem a lack of enthusiasm to marshall, they are either slow at marshalling or just don't do it. (As if it's beneath them). With the shoe on the other foot when they don't get marshalled properly they kick up a fuss or I have even witnessed some going into a hissey fit and pulling off the track.

EVERYBODY NEEDS TO REMEMBER
THEY ALSO STARTED SOMEWHERE!!!!!
Nobody was born into the A final

My Club rule was 'Marshall how you would wish to be marshalled'
Whoever didn't would miss their next round or in some cases asked to leave the club.

Come guys lets get this in touch
JUNIORS ARE THE SPORTS FUTURE!

Often is the case where the begginers heats are the worst or marshalling due to top drivers not being bothered which is VERY frustrating for juniors who are doing their best. This NEEDS to change!

RANT OVER!

This wasnt the case. The top heat marshalled heat 1 and I don't think there was any issues. It was heat 2 who got a bit upset.

This is a fun club, not a serious meeting and any issues can easily be solved at the club on the night.

Also, Don't crash
