Well done yesterday ladies and gents. An abnormally high number of red flags and incidents, dealt with very effectively.

Thanks!

It was a bit busy wasn't it?

I thought we,d have to go to a petrol station to refill the rescue unit before the day was over.

Well done everyone for a job done well.

blackx · 24 Oct 2005, 12:06 (Ref:1442053)

yep..........

The only race which didnt get red flagged was the first Mx5 race..
And they made up for that in the second one as we had to venture out and do some work in the rain and mud

Well done to everyone invloved in what was a very long and arduos day.

I might as well get in here before Andy does! LOL

Yep, i have to admit that I was at Riches yesterday and I think we called most of the Red Flags. Cars in the Field, Flipping Over, Head On's, Sideways into the Tyres or spinning and stalling right on the racing line.

IIRC Andy, I think you had a couple of visitors at the Pits Exit and of course the Startline shunt!!!.

But it still looks like i've still got the

magnet !

DaveW · 24 Oct 2005, 18:19 (Ref:1442412)

We actually managed two!!! races without red flags, the first MaX5 and the second TVR race managed to get from lights to flag. Adding in the ones from practice I think we reached 9 in total for the day - certainly was trying at times!

Perhaps if the circuit changes get the OK we should ask JP to put Scalextric type slots in the track. And here's hoping you can leave the cars alone in two weeks, although at least we will have a safety car for Britcar and (should have) for FPA.

I was directing them to riches!!!! as i was on post on me own I did put up no stopping, wheel clamping in operation signs, but still a coupe decided to visit me and some couldnt even reach me from start line, (think their aim was a bit off!) Tho the FF2000 did look nasty from my angle, might have guessed it was either you or terry there! LOL

Well Steve I think we had three calls on Russell, but in answer to your last comment I believe as a certain person by the name of Andy was bang in the middle of the straight between Russell and Riches it must have something to do him actually. As Andy said before what on earth would happen if we all ended up on the same post one day!

Anyway we had a great day despite the stoppages, I spent the day flagging on my own on Russell for a change, no writer's cramp this week, but flag waving arm almost too tired to lift the pint at the crew's post race debrief!

Thanks to all the competitors for their entertainment and patience, also to all in Race Control and on Recovery for the quick responses and keeping everything as close as possible to the timetable under somewhat trying circumstances at times!

PLUS...i managed to keep the brand new overalls clean!!

snetmarshal · 24 Oct 2005, 20:51 (Ref:1442537)

Yes me being in the middle, i guess i should accept SOME(but only some) of the blame. I reckon we should try the theory of the 3 of us on post at the britcar weekend!!!!!!!

but was a very entertaining meeting despite "red is the colour"

Terry Scannell · 24 Oct 2005, 20:54 (Ref:1442544)

I think they would like to have some cars left for next year's 24hr Britcar meeting!

It was quite nasty, I was flagging at Riches In and all i saw was the on two wheels, then flying through the air upside down. The car's roll hoop then became a plough and made a nice deep groove towards the gravel trap and then finally ended up the right way up minus a wheel and crushed front.

Yeah, i think your right Terry. He didn't want to get his new overalls dirty so sent them to either me or you!

I reckon he's got a magnet which reples them our way! LOL

snetmarshal · 24 Oct 2005, 22:26 (Ref:1442614)

too right the new overalls have a new special chemical agent to repell cars from me!!
