Best Marshall

[Lee]

Ok so a lot of the time we moan about marshalling, but who stands out to be the best marshall?

Mine would have to be Robin Lucas, he has a sixth sense for cars crashing

[Kopite]

that's cos he's so used to doing it himself

cheeky git...

Cheers Lee, I do try and marshal well, or at least how i'd want to be marshalled. Shame my 6th sense doesn't work when I'm driving the bloody things...

I reckon Doddy's pretty good too, he's very quick to flip the car over if it's roofed.

my vote is for Ken, who used to race at York.

he was as agile as a cat!!

We could make this more controversial by asking who the worst marshall is?

[Lee]

that probably would be more fun

At the last regional (york) during the A final bradders and rich lowe were having a good race, bradders clipped a corner and put it on its roof, the marshall got there nice and quick and flipped the car over superbly but, as bradders drove away his aerial was under the marshalls foot, GAME OVER
Not sure who the marshall was but that is just one of those things

Tony Parr gets my vote, for not even bothering to marshall at the Oswestry national, lol!!

'hey Tony, aren't you meant to be marshalling now?'

'oooooooo shit'!!

never seen him move so fast!!!!

to extrapolate...

was racing at the carpet masters series (I think, could've been the indoor nationals... 2000/2001 anyway) and was on for an A final time, when Spash ran out to marshal a stranded car. succeeded in ripping up a full strip of carpet, and 4 cars (including mine) disappeared underneath... I was rather miffed at the time, but now

Rob, remember when me and Doddy got banned from the club for having a wine gum fight whilst we were supposed to be marshalling?

I guess that puts us down as shocking marshalls!

[RLGfx]

of course i remember that... one of many legendary fmcc moments... ah those were the days...

Tricky was pretty ace at Osfest - last leg of the 2WD A, Brian even mentioned he looked like he was so desperate to marshall a car, he pretty much covered half the track to get one in the end! so funny!

[Chrislong]

Joe Cockill is the best marshall, he is able to loose a shoe, roll down the downslope of a tabletop jump and get up before any cars reach him.

[Northy]

Best Marshall - my rabbit, he's ace, he'll shag anything!

My vote goes to Andy Fraser. he's always posed like he's about to start a 100m sprint. Always shows committment, and proves that we should all marshall in the way we expect to be marshalled.

For worst marshall some of the kids who race at my club get my vote. There is one poor fella who isnt too well endowed in the grey matter department has a tendency to set cars on the track backwards.
