Sure was, I was flagging and berating Mark Ch about his appalling choice of snacks. It was him that was the magnet, did you notice that wherever he moved on post the carnage followed him.
You did well that day as it was bleeding busy!!!

danccooke · 26 Apr 2004, 15:54 (Ref:952410)

thankyou for compliment, i like to try at whatever i do. wasn't so busy this weekend which was nice, none of that manic running about which crucifies me, as i said just the one nasty one, see you again, were you the flag marshall with your own flags?
just trying to put a face to the name.

I'm sure a bit of invisible stitching will mend it.

And which of the pit marshals had eaten their pork pie just before the Escort hit the tyre barrier at the entrance at Mallory this afternoon? Wasn't me - I ate mine during practice! Unless the Tesco's Meltons are delayed action ones of course

Hmmmmmmmm if I remember there were only two pit marshals with pork pies and if you had eaten yours.........

I risked a coffee and a pork pie together and the

things still didn't work

Perhaps it was the combined efforts of our FOUR pork pies, your two and your coffee? Obviously Tesco's Meltons have a delay programmed into them!

Stevespurr · 27 Apr 2004, 17:11 (Ref:953731)

Unable to take any pork pies to Cadwell as they where eaten by others in the house at Donington bike meeting. Still managed one red flag!!!!

**Woolley** · 27 Apr 2004, 22:12 (Ref:953938)

What's really scary is when you're watching a race on tv and you open a pork pie, and it still works...

Yes, I have managed that trick!

aprescott · 4 May 2004, 20:52 (Ref:960846)

Scotch eggs are the new pork pies!

**Woolley** · 4 May 2004, 22:46 (Ref:960976)

...as tested by crazystu at Prescott at the weekend

Stevespurr · 9 May 2004, 21:23 (Ref:965917)

A combination of pork pies, scotch eggs and tracker bars worked well at Silverstone today

Sheila M · 9 May 2004, 21:57 (Ref:965949)

Tesco's Meltons don't work on Ferraris - I tried and failed dismally!

Bald Spot · 10 May 2004, 11:20 (Ref:966378)

Forget pork pies, I'm finding that cheese is the new pork pie!!!!!

Helping at a sprint yesterday, a few cones, tyres etc already been molested by various drivers. We are ahead of time and have just started the finals run for the day.

"I know" I thought, lets finish off my lunch, look in bag and find some cheese. I open the wrapper and take a bite. First car through promptly hits the tyres, fies into the air and lands on the next tyre wall!! All four wheels off the ground, and minus both bumpers. Takes 15 mins to sort car out and rebuild tyres. Plus it started to run!!

Oh well, it was a good day overall. Just make a note too myself. "stop eating food, when cars on track"

Bald Spot · 10 May 2004, 11:23 (Ref:966380)

Just remembered I'm helping at BARC sprint at Lotus next Sunday, if you see me trying to eat any food when there are cars on the track. Please stop me, or take cover!!!

sprocket · 10 May 2004, 14:58 (Ref:966566)

Now the commentator knows,any incident @ Knickerbrook this Sat will be referred to as ""A Pork Pie incident""!! Please gorge yourselves in the 40 min race!!

a mate of mine is running his MR2 at that sprint next weekend, if he gets it finished in time. Any pork pie incidents involving a red MR2 are more likely to be his itchy right foot rather than the pies, it's his first event...

..he's already spun it on a roundabout in the wet!

Steady on now, Richard, I'm sure you wouldn't want us to abuse our powers!!!

obviously the most impressive effect even more so than a pork pie, is a certain Mr Bloxham on post with you. He has graced the scene a few times now, once at Brands for the FBMW race 2, and this weekend at silverstone as soon as he appeared we had a spin, alas the rest of the day was reasonably quite i still find him to be the biggest magnet of all, and also what a reputation.

Tracey · 13 May 2004, 12:22 (Ref:969759)

Tried eating a Pork Pie whilst watching the practice at Indianapolis on t'internet last night, but it didn't work. Wonder if the time difference had any effect? Maybe if I eat one now, they might get action is six hours time????

As I'm off to Donington this weekend, I shall have to attempt the experiment that I never made at Brands Hatch.

mark_l · 13 May 2004, 12:41 (Ref:969777)

It is not just spins and crashes that Mr Bloxham attracts, he has told me that he has turned up on post only to have a flag marshals complete set of flags leaning upright against the barrier, promptly fall over.

He has also walked into a garage where a person was sitting on a plastic garden chair, to have the one of the chair legs break!

This is someone Mulder & Scully should be investigating
