Best Marshall

[Lee]

Ok so a lot of the time we moan about marshalling, but who stands out to be the best marshall?

Mine would have to be Robin Lucas, he has a sixth sense for cars crashing;)

[Kopite]

that's cos he's so used to doing it himself

cheeky git...

Cheers Lee, I do try and marshal well, or at least how i'd want to be marshalled. Shame my 6th sense doesn't work when I'm driving the bloody things... :rolleyes:

I reckon Doddy's pretty good too, he's very quick to flip the car over if it's roofed.

[vader]

my vote is for Ken, who used to race at York.

he was as agile as a cat!!

[Kopite]

We could make this more controversial by asking who the worst marshall is?

[Lee]

that probably would be more fun:D

dave spashett... end of.

At the last regional (york) during the A final bradders and rich lowe were having a good race, bradders clipped a corner and put it on its roof, the marshall got there nice and quick and flipped the car over superbly but, as bradders drove away his aerial was under the marshalls foot, GAME OVER
Not sure who the marshall was but that is just one of those things

[Kopite]

Tony Parr gets my vote, for not even bothering to marshall at the Oswestry national, lol!!

'hey Tony, aren't you meant to be marshalling now?'

'oooooooo shit'!!

never seen him move so fast!!!!:D

ah the joys of 2.4gHz radio... that'll never happen to me again! :D :) :cool:

to extrapolate...

was racing at the carpet masters series (I think, could've been the indoor nationals... 2000/2001 anyway) and was on for an A final time, when Spash ran out to marshal a stranded car. succeeded in ripping up a full strip of carpet, and 4 cars (including mine) disappeared underneath... I was rather miffed at the time, but now :D :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :D :D :D

[Kopite]

Rob, remember when me and Doddy got banned from the club for having a wine gum fight whilst we were supposed to be marshalling?

I guess that puts us down as shocking marshalls!

[RLGfx]

of course i remember that... one of many legendary fmcc moments... ah those were the days...

[Chris Doughty]

Tricky was pretty ace at Osfest - last leg of the 2WD A, Brian even mentioned he looked like he was so desperate to marshall a car, he pretty much covered half the track to get one in the end! so funny!

[Chrislong]

Joe Cockill is the best marshall, he is able to loose a shoe, roll down the downslope of a tabletop jump and get up before any cars reach him. :D

[Northy]

Best Marshall - my rabbit, he's ace, he'll shag anything! :D

My vote goes to Andy Fraser. he's always posed like he's about to start a 100m sprint. Always shows committment, and proves that we should all marshall in the way we expect to be marshalled.

[mole2k]

For worst marshall some of the kids who race at my club get my vote. There is one poor fella who isnt too well endowed in the grey matter department has a tendency to set cars on the track backwards.

[footey]

rcracer is a good marshal last york meeting we built a massive jump me running a pred i was mid air hopping it slowly until my final it was so close i lined it up perfect and decided to nail it in mid air i relised rcracer was marshiling a car on the down slope my car heading to his head he moved like matrix and got out the way it was a great move by him and me as i got 2nd:)

[NeilD]

You are a good marshall Shane. The worst, Rob Marks he moves like he's in slow mo (if he moves at all) and then picks the car up as though it's made of paper.:mad:

[mattym0310]

i hate it when some of the lil guys at the club, just stand and watch the car when its crashed. ino their small but c'mon it isnt gunna hurt them, lol :D. i must say Neils matrix move on saturday night was ace!

[rcracer]

. i must say Neils matrix move on saturday night was ace!

:cool:

The worst marshall ive ever seen was at oz fest 07 lol. I clipped the pipe and ended up on my roof as he went to pic my car up another car ran into my car and his hand. He then sort of stand back up straight and spends the next 30 seconds shaking his hand in pain. I can understand it must o hurt but come on. At oswestry regional i was stung by nettles while marshalling a car i didnt spend the next 30 seconds shaking my hand about.

Another good question is who is a good ref at regionals???

My vote gots to tom yardy he reffed my heat and he was so good at spotting everything that was going on and he was good at asking people to let faster cars though i was never stuck behind a car. And he even put up with me talking shit. lol

ash when you can drive a big car then perhaps i might!! take your advice until then wind your neck it:D
i went out that way for 2 reasons

1. it was by far the driest least boggy part of the field.

2. my caravan was facing that way all weekend, nobody in there right mind without a 4x4 would try and do a 3 point turn to be able to go over the concrete bit.
