Default The good & bad side of marshalling

Yesterday i encountered some of the best & worst marshalling i have ever seen
In my second heat my track rod came clean off, not only did the marshal go & find the trackrod but had me back in the race within 30 seconds thanks dude

In the final a similar thing happened but just 1 end came off, a different marshal picked my car up & attempted to put it back on, not a racer but someones father i think, he shouted at me to stop reving the car, not what i was doing, it was just suffering from interferance as i had to use my old 27mhz set up, now instead of turning the car off my car was flung into the nearby fence/bush, not placed there but flung, couldn't believe what i was seeing to be honest, i know at least 2 other club members saw this from the look on their faces as i went to collect my car from the bush, to say i was furious was a understatement but as there were kids racing & watching i didn't say anything, upon inspection of my car i found that where the car was flung to the fence there is a post there that has cracked the top front chassis on my car now even more unimpressed
What irk's me a bit is i caught this guys sons car earlier in the day as it rolled out of control at full speed towards the same poxy post thereby saving it's front end
I have never shouted at a marshal yet but that was as close as i have ever come
Will have to be more careful next time & only crash near the good guys
Venting over now
