A Vote of Thanks to the Marshals
I was unlucky enough to have had the worst accident of my racing career at Brands Hatch in the K of K’s Final (pit lane entry) last Sunday. I was driving the Pink Panther, my name is Andy Powell.
I would like to thank all the Marshals, and medical team, (including doctors, paramedics and the St.Johns ambulance) The care I received on the scene was second to none. I was in real shock and not sure if I had really damaged myself and you were all both very king and professional. Thanks for not cutting my helmet straps. The team in the medical centre where great and my wife was grateful for the phone calls you made for me. I know my fellow competitors are also grateful for the efforts that the marshals and the medical crews put in week in week out but it is only when you have a big one you realise how much we need you all. I would like to thank the entire marshalling team at the FFF for professional marshalling in general. Andy Power, Classic Formula Ford Register |

Hi Andy,
We had full view of your accident from our post (top of Clearways) and I'm not joking when I say our hearts were in our mouths - it was a very heavy impact and we were greatly relieved when we saw you get out of the car. Very glad to hear that you're ok now and look forward to seeing you back "in the pink" next year! Last edited by EvilPumpkin; 22 Oct 2003 at 13:01. |

The pink one,
You need to take it easy for a few more days, you seem to be having trouble remembering your surname !! |

 I'm very glad you were ok, I was in the unenvyable position to be directly opposite the pit entry as so unable to cross the track to get to you and had to wait for other marshal to get to you. But as i say glad you are ok and hope to see the Pink Panther out again!!
