Track marshaling

Did'nt really fancy going down to the ACE for the Brighton run this weekend so went up to Cadwell park to see what was going on instead, it was a club race weekend (NEMCCRC) and as they were short of staff volaunteered to be a track marshall, had a fantastic two days bases at the hairpin, saw some really good close racing from an area of the track not acsessable to the paying public, picked up probably 7 or 8 crashed bikes and got a real insight into what goes on behind the scenes, also was fed watered and had my expences paid for the weekend, loved every minute of it and also got to ride the tona round the track to my marshal post which was pretty cool, highly reccomended. There was only one Triumph racing (675) won one race and was I think on the podium for every other race he entered, which as well as the 600's included a trophy race and the thundersprint, each class had two races each day, so over the weekend he must of been out there 12 times. He did nearly lose it and cam down from a great height with nuts on tank and chest through the screen but sorted it out and finished the race with I suspect tears in his eyes and a couple of tender parts!

DD marshalling.. is a great way to see the rade up close and help out at the same time..
looks like my racing career is gonna turn into a marshalling one.. as my arm is still giving me grief.. even normal riding my hand is falling asleep.. not a good option on a race track!!

But at least with marshalling I can still be involved and have fun too
