Thanks

Dean Watson · 23 Mar 2008, 15:50 (Ref:2159684)

sign on is 7:45 - 8:20 below the Craner Curves Hospitality Suites with a general briefing at 8:25.

Motorsportgirli · 23 Mar 2008, 16:29 (Ref:2159708)

Thanks for that!

I havent recieved any tickets so hoping it wont be the usual battle with the guys on the gate!

Dean Watson · 23 Mar 2008, 16:51 (Ref:2159718)

I think there will be a shortage, of marshals so I wouldnt think there would be a problem getting in if so ask the guys on the gate to get in touch with either Diane Hardy (ES) or John Watson (Flag/Obs) the chiefs for the day and they will no doubt sort it for you.

Jayne Poston · 23 Mar 2008, 17:27 (Ref:2159730)

I haven't had tickets either - just a letter stating tickets will be issued at sign on so shouldn't be a major problem with the guys on the gate.

As you go in the main entrance head for the Coppice tunnel to get to sign on

See you there - hope you have your thermals ready lol

I had the bikes down for donnington this weekend until I found out I had to do the training day for bikes before I could marshal them so I didnt get chance to re-schedule or I would have put down for this one. Never mind im down for Cadwell beginning of April if the details come through

Thanks MGCC for a great days racing. Fantastic grids, dry, if not warm weather, coffee,biccys & a fiver at sign on. Thanks to the drivers who gave us all a wave, even the Porsche who left us the contents of his sump all the way down Craner Curves. Roll on next MGCC meeting

nelson.tfr · 25 Mar 2008, 00:32 (Ref:2160755)

...and many thanks to you guys and girls in orange for a great day's racing too! You know only too well that, without you, we racers are nothing. I hope some of the lines taken by car 10 in the Metro Cup race entertained you

, 'cos they kept me busy!

Jayne Poston · 25 Mar 2008, 08:52 (Ref:2160920)

Thanks for a good days entertainment - I was on Post 23 and up to 5 layers it was a biting wind lol was glad to wave at you guys to keep warm

Joyce George · 25 Mar 2008, 14:23 (Ref:2161220)

Post 2 - I have just "twigged" - You were obviously FAR too quiet yesterday, "branching out in new directions" & probably" bark"ing up the wrong "tree".

Sorry!!!!!

Micky.H · 25 Mar 2008, 15:05 (Ref:2161242)

Good grids, good racing, good crowd on post 17 - A GOOD DAY, well done MGCC

Dean Watson · 25 Mar 2008, 15:12 (Ref:2161246)

Excelent grids, fantastic racing, great bunch of guys on post 39 who dealt with our couple of incidents swiftly and efectively. great day out by the MGCC again.

JimW · 25 Mar 2008, 20:33 (Ref:2161464)

I deserve a prize.

A rescue unit was asked to go and help remove the bonnet from a car as it had flipped up (that's why he pulled off) and it needed to be removed before it could be towed away.

The marshals at the scene had tried the obvious (will it shut?) and no luck.

So we were using spanners. Up bowls the Clerk and says in my ear "Can't you just close it?"

Much to my surprise I only replied "No we've tried that".

Personally I think that is restraint above and beyond the call of duty.

Totally out of character. Let's hope it's an isolated incident...

Alan.F · 28 Mar 2008, 08:58 (Ref:2163659)

I wasn't Marshalling on Monday i was there as a spectator with all those MG's parked at redgate i was bloody freezing and i had a car to go and sit in so dont know how you guys did it. well done!! i have gone out now to buy some extra layers now i realise how cold it could be out on post.

Clive · 28 Mar 2008, 21:58 (Ref:2164170)

it was certainly cold. even the brass monkeys stayed indoors and I'm not saying what were nearly frozen off!

Well done to my crew on post 38, we showed 39 how to do it!!
