Peter Harding · 29 Sep 2005, 11:41 (Ref:1419850)

Not sure what the hold up was but tickets only arrived from MSV to 750MC HQ today so I won't get them till tomorrow morning.

I will try and get them all out by last post Friday and they will get to marshals on Sat or Monday. Sorry for lateness.

M Greenslade · 29 Sep 2005, 12:41 (Ref:1419926)

Peter Hi, not sure if I put myself down for this one or not, anyway can do the Sunday and will be bringing two others with me, please send me a pm and I will give you their details- thanks Martin

Terry Scannell · 1 Oct 2005, 16:12 (Ref:1421665)

But just a reminder Pete, wont be there until sat lunchtime ish

Claire · 3 Oct 2005, 12:33 (Ref:1422744)

I have mine and I'm really looking forward to it. I'm guessing their will be a few championship deciders going on so the racing should be as good as ever.

GT3 · 4 Oct 2005, 22:51 (Ref:1424037)

Any idea of numbers? Just wondering if i should start to limber up for the Hot Hatches and Vee's!

snetmarshal · 4 Oct 2005, 22:56 (Ref:1424038)

with your luck.... i would be ready to run!! LOL

chezza · 4 Oct 2005, 22:57 (Ref:1424040)

Ian Sowman · 5 Oct 2005, 07:51 (Ref:1424205)

No Stock Hatch at Snetterton this weekend. They conclude at Mallory Park two weeks later.

You can check the full entry details on www.750mc.co.uk.

Terry Scannell · 9 Oct 2005, 20:36 (Ref:1428787)

To Peter and everyone involved in the 750mc snett meeting, many thanks for yet another superb weekend with some brilliant racing all the way through the programme.

Special mention must be made to the MG's in the last race of the day - I have heard people say occasionally that MGB's are a little bit agricultural in their engineering these days but I can confirm that they can harvest more sugar beet in five seconds (at 90mph side by side!!!) than any purpose built harvester can - just ask James Wheeler and Ian Prior. Jerry and Kevin I told you to be careful with those pork pies!

Thanks also to our crew on Senna,and those that helped out on Russell on Saturday and on Riches on Sunday with some great teamwork over both days.

I second that Terry, even with 5 Red Flags on the Saturday we still finished early and had a decent lunch break!. Even on the Sunday with the troubles in the Formula 4's race the meeting still only finished 10 mins late!.

With the Course Car and Rescue Units coming round with the Clerks and Rescue Bods waving made made me feel appriciated. Even when I was walking back to my car I had an MG Driver pull up on his way out of the circuit and personally thank me for giving up my time.

Only one Formula 4!, Someone in my crew had all the magnets working to full power in the afternoon! Also seemed to work well on MG's!!

Think yourself lucky, I could have filled in two report sheets with all the numbers of the one's involved in our F4 incident at Riches! I believe I was lucky that in the end that I only managed to end up with two that needed recovery, the rest all managed to hobble away in various states of disrepair - some only to Sear I think - some back to the pits!

But I suppose I should apologise to you for having to call the stoppage that possibly caused your high speed visitor!!

Terry

kickstart · 10 Oct 2005, 21:19 (Ref:1430112)

What happened in the F4 race ?

Ian Sowman · 10 Oct 2005, 21:25 (Ref:1430120)

First race was red-flagged near the end, with Chris Lewis declared the winner. I think the incident(s) must have been at the Esses or Bomb Hole - out of my sight anyway. I think Nick Barnett was involved.

The second race got as far as the first corner before several cars conspired to go off, bringing out the reds. I think (one of the guys above will correct me) someone then went off at Coram.

The restart got a little further, and was then red flagged - again something out of my view.

Finally, a 10 minute plus one lap encounter was won by Chris Lewis. There were no cars on the grid for that restart between Andy Woolley on the outside of row one - pole position having been left empty as a tribute to Adrian Kidd - and Chris on the inside of row five.

snetmarshal · 10 Oct 2005, 21:38 (Ref:1430140)

We were at Bombhole and just a car or two pulled of with mechanical prbs etc. Wasnt us the cause of the Red flag, we were curious too as to why was stopped

Terry Scannell · 10 Oct 2005, 21:51 (Ref:1430157)

Ian,

Very Good Summary - I could have done with you at Riches on the first lap of the second race, with you commentating on who was making contact with who so that I could just concentrate on my short-hand notes!!

Thanks for the excellent commentary over the weekend, it was certainly entertaining from my position on Senna on Saturday being able to both listen and watch you in action in the Greenhouse.

Most of the races should have had a health warning attached for you due to the close finishes and battles for position through the fields. We were getting rather concerned for your well-being at times!!!

Terry

peter195001 · 10 Oct 2005, 22:24 (Ref:1430197)

snetmarshal · 10 Oct 2005, 22:28 (Ref:1430201)

Well am starting to feel very lucky, on sunday at Bombhole there was only mechanical probs!! having said that, now means all hell will break lose at Esses this sunday!!!

Peter Harding · 10 Oct 2005, 22:35 (Ref:1430204)

Should mention that I had no-one turn up for the assembly area, so Stan (the fire truck man) stepped into the breach assisted by Doug Woodrow to run the area all weekend.

Now this was Stan's return after his illness (http://tentenths.com/forum/showthread.php?t=73913) and he's not allowed to drive and is supposed to take it a bit easy. He had never done assembly before (nor had Doug).

I only guided them through the first practice and race, so I think that was a tremendous feat to keep it all going the whole weekend in a new job on the first day back. Thanks Stan and Doug

M Greenslade · 10 Oct 2005, 23:35 (Ref:1430253)

Pete, thanks for a great day on Sunday, excellent day at the 'Esses' even the weather was kind, the chaps got back ok and wish me to pass there thanks on too.
Winter well and we (god willing) will see you all next year for some more fun - thank you.

Hope I'm not chipping in on a Marshals Forum,but..............yet again the 750MC meeting on both Sat & Sun was fantastic!! So many people I could mention here, but, it was really great that Andy Shepherd (+ his team!) won in both the Hot Hatch races-he really deserved to do well and Rob Huff was SO, SO sideways through Coram in both the MG races (& the practices too for that matter)! Looking forward to more of the same & to SaxMax in 2006 now (not sure if we can make Mallory in a fortnight's time-will certainly try to now though!)! Pure magic!! Sal

Peter Harding · 11 Oct 2005, 12:11 (Ref:1430654)

SSAL - If you do make it to Mallory, come and say hello to a fellow Colchestarian.

IIRC the red's were caused each time by cars beached on the bank at Russell in a dangerous position.

Yeah, when the Red's came out all the cars slowed, then all i saw was tyre smoke and a F4 coming my way. I don't think he saw the Red's and said he went off trying to avoid hitting the slower cars in front.
