... I'll still probably do the same number of race meetings as I do now ...

With that attitude, marshals won't be interested in turning up so you can race. What will you do then??
You seem to forget that 'we' can run a race meeting without anyone ever going on track...but 'you lot' can't race if there's no one to run things.

Heads up, little man. RACING IS A TEAM EFFORT. That means EVERYONE has a part to play. You, me, her, him over there - and so on. Doesn't matter if it's a rider, a mechanic, a flaggie, the ambos, MNZ rep, the people in the sign-up office, etc

Some of us are heartily sick of the swinging-dick egos who seem to think that race days are laid on just for them...

[Drew]

Oh yea,How is the shoe on the other foot for me????? I dont have any input at all to officials training.

"Things are better than they were,So be happy and keep your trap shut",Where did I say that???? Pretty sure I did say it wasn't perfect though

Of course its always easier to bag somebody else's efforts than try and have a positive impact by offering a sensible solution.

I believe there has been a suggestion made at officials training that at riders briefing it is stated "If you don't feel safe,Then don't ride"

It's how I read what you said by bringing up the Tim Gibbs events.

Yeah it's better, but it's all a piss take if no one can accept that everyone needs to do their bit better.

Why don't I get involved in a positive fashion to help others? Can't imagine why else I'd be spannering for three guys who are racing. I'll do some soul searching and find the selfish reason that clearly must be there.

My use of the word "cunt" is not actually calling anyone that, and more just a collective term I use for nearly everyone. Exceptions would be my kids, and my mother and her sisters. So don't get all fuckin pissy and red bling about it.

I am aware what you (insert any word except cunts here) do, it is and always has been appreciated. But the threat that premadonna racers should shut up or no one will race is getting very tedius.



I'm in a foul mood today, and you are probably both right to be pissed off at the language I have employed to convey my message.

The marshals are the cunts, you're just their leader!

It did seem strange watching it online , however as I was not there I will not pass an opinion on what did and didn't happen.

Just a thought , may be too many people in the control tower while Skunk and co are trying to make decisions , maybe the non-essential personal should not be allowed in the race control part of the tower. It some times seems real crowded in there. And heaps of talking , maybe the race control guys need to have a more controlled area for them. Just a thought thats all. Over and out.

I was up there... No there wasn't tpp many up there really. I left as soon as it started going pear shaped, and didn't hear about the whole incident until afterwards.

Wrong, I'm their leader!

And apparently I look like a fool...

[Drew]

You'd be a scarier leader with some tats like Billy.

[Drew]

Actually,You havent seen half of them and some you never will hahahaha!

I know, only the ones on hands arms and face. But Janet doesn't have them.

[yungatart]

I may have, just hidden under my clothes...you, Drew, will never know...

[Skunk]

So someone with no actual idea, but who has talked about racing for a couple hours is now allowed to flag a point on a track. Youngatart suggests putting that squid with a complete squid and all will be hunky dori.

Doesn't sound ideal.

And your idea is?... Carry on as we were when you were racing? Zero training. Mint.

Having just spent 9am until 5:30pm doing my refresher I'm a little pissed off at your comments Drew.
You seem to have very little idea on what a flag marshals role is. Two hours is plenty for what they need to know. I have no idea what you think they need to know. Are you confusing Flag Marshals with Grid Marshals? Or Environmental Officers? Or Race Organisers? Or Stewards? All have different requirements.

Two hours is for flag marshals is around two hours longer than the training session for riders.

The Flag Marshals know their job. To say it's not enough without knowing what is covered is a bullshit comment.
