Agree with you mike, your not one to be at any of the messing that goes on so i think GAV or NON Stop might have their tails between their legs

Hope alls well!

I also know that with certain organising clubs marshals reports don't count for anything. At a certain rallycross event a driver was reported 6 times from 2 locations by 3 different (highly experienced) marshals for driving standards in one heat!

The same driver was reported multiple times during the day and no action other than a verbal reprimand was issued, and only then after multiple queries from the marshals involved as to whether any action had been taken.

Just one of the reasons I don't bother marshaling for certain clubs / events.

Agreed there probably is too much reliance on the CCTV but now that the cctv is there, it is to be used to review incidents on all occasions and more often than not the marshals reports are still very valuable info when investigating an incident but you cant use written reports that you get to the tower from highly experianced marshals that states deliberate side to side contact between car x and car y, (just one example that i have seen so far this year) as its opinion.

In Juniors as i think the example is in relation to above, its not always best to bring them in and slap them with a fine and points as it just comes out of daddys pocket and makes no odds to them, it usually works better to call them in, point out on the cctv what they done wrong and try and allow them to learn from this, send them away and tell them anymore reports today and it will be much more serious. When we go down this road we generally dont have the same person up twice in one day.
