    I hear what ya saying Hoon but just from a personal perspective I would not like to just rock up and without training and cause a problem on the track....its just me. Oh and alas this world we live in has OSH and all kindsa laws that can kick us in the butt when we think we are trying to do the right thing.

    Having said that I am there tomorrow and more than happy to be teamed up with an experienced waver of the flag. I think I would look pretty cool in orange overalls

    Dont be a chicken, Crashe turned up doday at the last minute, was given some flags and some quick instructions and she was away, as there was only a few of us she had a point by herself and did an awesome job, but there will be alot more there tomorrow so you'll be sweet.

    I didn't call you a chicken? i said "dont be a chicken" you even quoted me? if you decided not to do it then you would be a chicken and i would be name calling

    What i was trying to tel you is it's a great way to watch the racing and we'd love to see you

    Well I'm back. Got home 10pm Yesterday. Weather stay fine on Sunday. It was an awesome days race. Some real close races in all the classes saw some real duels going on as riders tried their hardest to bet each other. If You weren't there you really missed out.
    Marshelled the "Jennie" (Point 2, which is the first corner past the starting grid). Blood awesome place as you can see most of the track. Thanks for the help on Sat Crashe. Had the headset on Sun, and the 2 dudes that were helping me on the point were awesome to deal with. The marashelling on Sun was top grade, with everyone doing as they should. Only big problem at my point was when the Canadain 600cc Rider came off on the hairpin between "Jennie" and "Castrol". The Marshells at "Castrol" could see it better (I couldn't as it was on the blind side around the corner from my point), so covered it. It really showed that a Marshelling point might be needed there. Bike was a right off, but the rider was ok to ride his other bike in the Superbike class.
    The Ambos were super (thank Sue and Glen). Poor buggers got to miss a lpt of the racing due to the odd badly timed mishap. Sorry about that Sue, but dam glad you dudes and dudettes were there. No praise is good enough to show how much we appecate what you Abmos do for us out there

    Well better get to work
