Forgot about this until today at Harewood. How absurd to ban the practice which adds to the theatre of speed events , is perfectly safe (in ten years of being start line marshal I might have become near deaf but was never run over ) and serves a useful purpose .

It is exactly the sort of idiotic ruling which devalues the sport by imposing petty restrictions for their own sake - I hope Dave Richards in his MSA capacity might be able to say 'this is balls '...See also - stopping marshals push starting cars which I have done hundreds of times for everything from Minis to F1 cars at hillclimbs- again without incident ...
