Marshalling at Pukekohe 1.4.06

[FROSTY:Me]

Ok folks I've had a request from AMCC--They were very impressed by the KB involvement in the last AMCC race meeting.
SOOO-----MARSHALLS NEEDED FOR AMCC ROUND 4
The deal is you get to watch all the racing from trackside. You get a free lunch and free entry to the track.
Marshalling is very much the same as at the KB trackdays.
So comeon folks lets support our KB racers and have the best seat in the house.
If you're interested please eiither PM me or call
STEPHANIE MERRYWEATHER--0211188033
or e mail her on smerryweather@gmail.com

I should be able to help out.. when do you need confirmation?

[FROSTY:Me]

buggie--give stephanie a yell --its only a week away

[FROSTY:Me]

comeon you lot --this is a VERY REAL way you can help out your KB racers--without marshals racing wont happen

[crashe]

Yeah you gals and guys, its a great thing to do...
I did one weekend for them... Had a great time doing it.
It was fun seeing the bikes up so close...


OH most important.
Wear a sunhat and take SUNBLOCK.
You get really badly burnt out there all day with no umbrella's up.



Frosty, unfortunately I can't help out this time...sorry mate.
Due to not being able to stand all day with my leg in a legbrace.
And I wouldnt be able to charge over the fence in a hurry if needed.
Plus also my bike hasnt been repaired yet.

[HDTboy]

I'm in, what time do I need to be in Auckland? Frosty, could you get her to call me please, no phone credit sorry

Be warned folk's its a long day stuck in one place and requires total concentration. Having said that its also a front row seat to the racing and a great opportunity to look after your mates racing.

COME ON, HELP OUT!

[R6_kid:Me]

if you show up about 8-8.30 at the track you should be good, but give stephanie a yell anyway.

Also afterwards you can take your bike on the track to 'help pack up' - i wouldnt suggest going too fast, but that back straight is long, and there are lots of places to do wheelies and not get in trouble

My bike's not running, I might have to borrow a gixxer

Experience necessary?? I would most likely be free, and happy to learn...

The learning curve is short, turn up and look after your fellow riders Gremlin.

Common sense and pay attention and they should give a brief ahead of time...

Plus someone will have a headpiece on in each stand and you could get to do the running ie: onto the track when no one is racing and throw sand on the oil spills... and swept the crap off that is left on the track in between races..... and help push the bike out the way .... Be their for assistance if someone does crash.

But most of the time you are standing there paying attention and watching them race.


If you are lucky, no one will crash at the point that you are allocated to.

Its real easy... but hard on your legs when you are standing all day in the one spot. So wear comfy shoes and sunhat and apply heaps of sunblock...
They supply you on the day, lovely ORANGE overalls and or a ORANGE vest to wear the whole time.

Now, obviously coming on the bike, so is there a place I could put my gear during the day??

so it would be cordura pants with shorts underneath, the pants off at track... shorts OK if I don't get overalls??

Yep there is a huge room that is where we all dumped our gears last time... the organisers are in that building the whole time so the gear is safe.

Thats also the room where you sign in to be a marshall and get the lovely ORANGE overalls from as well.

Mate if its a hot day, then wear the overalls over your shorts... they keep you cool... but if you can also get the vest as well... they had plenty last time...

I started out with the vest and then went to the overalls as I got extremly sunburnt up at Point 2., the overalls actually cooled me down heaps.

Plus also get a size bigger than you normally would...
Its not a fashion statement out there cos everyone is wearing the same stuff...

So seriously get the overalls. You have to wear one or the other... but if possible have both with you...

Yes they have them in your size.....

For me I had to turn them up at the cuffs...
Dang it being so damned short.
