Crashes are expensive - no more please (at least for a while) will entertain marshals with the usual driving style however....

Last time time I saw him race he got beaten by the chase firetender!

chezza · 21 Apr 2005, 10:33 (Ref:1283717)

Thats very true and also very funny!

The Fat Clerk · 21 Apr 2005, 19:21 (Ref:1284065)

Does this mean when I'm driving the Course Car, I'm not the slowest one out there?

chezza · 21 Apr 2005, 20:56 (Ref:1284131)

doesn't look like it!

ss_collins · 24 Apr 2005, 09:18 (Ref:1285528)

oops I must apologise to Viv as I poromised to fill in an observers report on an incident I witnessed at the kidney.

Shortly after all vee drivers had been firmly told to keep off the grass a certain ex 911 owning clerk was seen speeding across the grass in the course car having got it all wrong at Surtees. Said driver had no excuse and was hopefully seriously reprimanded...

NotLordPercy · 24 Apr 2005, 10:06 (Ref:1285554)

Great days racing thoroughly enjoyed including the necessary red flags! Good to meet another 10/10ths member.....the hard working & ever cheerful Claire from Cambridgeshire! Hope to see you again...............

chezza · 24 Apr 2005, 11:17 (Ref:1285606)

The racing was fantastic...I haven't seen a vee race like that final yesterday for ages, it was fantastic! Well done to the marshals for dealing with the pile up at paddock in both the heat and the final!

The Fat Clerk · 24 Apr 2005, 20:26 (Ref:1286222)

Extreme egg on face, not only did i take to the grass @ high speed at Surtees, Mr Collins managed two overtakes in his race at the same spot. Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear!
Yes I did get my wrist slapped as well.

chezza · 24 Apr 2005, 20:34 (Ref:1286236)

That really is EXTREME egg...we all saw you do it! I managed to miss his two overtakings as I was nattering with Rod Birley at the time and you don't get a good view of there from paddock grandstand!

**Snapper Baz** · 24 Apr 2005, 21:19 (Ref:1286274)

Talking to Rod and not watching the racing-you must be mad...nobody talks to Rod even when theres no racing on!

Andrew Palmer · 24 Apr 2005, 21:37 (Ref:1286292)

Sam, that thing you hold in your hands that help you go round corners needs to be attached to the car and not just in your hands.

You where lucky in was only the end of the green flag lap.

THe flag Marshal from post 24.

Andrew Palmer · 24 Apr 2005, 21:38 (Ref:1286294)

Now down the business I just got back from Brand Hatch, great weekend with nearly as many red flags as Lydden three years ago. Keep up the good racing 750.

ss_collins · 25 Apr 2005, 08:55 (Ref:1286629)

Yes I did rather panic when the thing fell off on me on the restart and the car started to go off veeerrryy slooowllly

**Asp** · 25 Apr 2005, 11:11 (Ref:1286774)

Cracking weekend by all account, I'm not quite sure if I was glad or otherwise to see the Stock Hatches return to their 'usual' form - but despite all the red flags we finished only slightly behind schedule. Good to meet up with a good number of people again too. Well done to 750 and all the drivers

Mike Holmes · 25 Apr 2005, 11:20 (Ref:1286788)

I had a great day, thanks to all the marshals for a job well done, unfortunately this was our only 750 meeting this year as a guest formulae.

jase · 25 Apr 2005, 11:59 (Ref:1286828)

Well done to Mike for a well run race and victory.

But to get a wrist slap from a driver?? poor show old boy!

Peter Harding · 25 Apr 2005, 15:39 (Ref:1287021)

Not only a good turnout and performance from the racers but, on the marshal front we had good numbers for both days and everything was dealt with well.
Day 1 - last race only started 12 minutes behind despite many red flags. (ok that was the first start I refer to)
Day 2 started going pear shaped during practice so minimal lunch break to catch up. Despite more reds, we were again only a little behind and that included giving the hatches a second go under our new rules which allow this, on CoC discretion, even if we have done 50%.

Thanks everyone for making it a great weekend.

Good day Sunday, weather could have been a bit brighter.
First time on post seven (well nearly) I spent the day up the hill a bit, but plenty of action all round so no time to get board.
Good to meet 'Asp' breifly on our post, the 10ths patches work!
Well done 750.

ss_collins · 25 Apr 2005, 19:49 (Ref:1287285)

yes but peter what action has been taken about the clerk's off roading... I expect to see it in MSA now's ever amusing judicial proceedings.
