Heroism above and beyond the call of duty
I would like to say a big thank you to Keith from our Rescue Crew for his bravery and selflessness in rescuing from a burning car.....
My ten-tenths baseball cap!  As you know, those things are like gold dust and I was rather distressed when during live fire training, it blew off and onto the passenger side of the car that we were trying to put out. I'm glad to say that after being rescued, it was unsinged although reeking of petrol and covered in Monex! After a long soak in cold water and detergent and a spell of drying on a radiator, it is now fully recovered from its ordeal and will be seen back at Mondello this weekend for the Bike Marshal training! A wonderful example of heroism from our boys in green - RESPECT!

They weren't jelly babies. There was a pack of Body Parts and a pack of Bursting Bugs! Very different.
And neither Keith OR the other one was involved in the sordid "chase the newbie" incident when an innocent novice made the mistake of taking a donut out of his bag whilst within a 20 foot radius of the Rescue Unit.....

 EP why not try a roll of orange tank tape to hold it on, in fact why not just wrap your whole body in tape. You could then enter the world record book as the first mummified marshal to stay upright for a complete days Racing. Chuckle chuckle?????? Tigger-Gurr?

Sadly, there isn't enuff duct tape in the world Tig....!
Besides, staying upright for a complete day's racing is against my religion

LOL - sign on for BRDA is 8:15 my darlink. Tell you what, we're up for the Nutts Corner one on the 29th so why don't you come back with us and you can stay over at ours - that way the sign on time will be slightly less painful!
You can pre-sign for the event at http://www.mrmci.com/events/mar_30signon.asp Dave - it was brave and selfless - the fact that he also happens to know me quite well and likes a quiet life is totally beside the point!

Yes no problem as long as her parental overunit (you) signs the indemnity form for her - you can do that on the day - once it's signed, it's good for the racing season.
I'm sure you'll enjoy the bit where a senior member of the club explains the dangers of marshalling to you!

I just about have a ten-tenths cap - I wonder what it would cost to get it Proban treated - I doubt I'll be that lucky twice!
