VMCC winter series under threat

[GSVR]

I have just been reading Carl Fogertys Autobiography and in his motocross days the riders had to take turns at sitting out meetings to marshall. I could see this system working. Riders could nominate a round they wanted to sit out at the begining of the season and everyone could drop one round. I the event of a rider not having a bike due to mechanical or accident damage they could marshal several meetings and receive credits and do all the rounds the following year and drop their worst round.

Just an idea.

Damn, I really hope that they can get enough people. I'm planning on doing this series. Racers who aren't currently out could perhaps do a session at one of the stations closer to the pits? I for one wouldn't mind doing that. Not sure if it's desirable, but if it would let the races go ahead, then why not?

[bistard]

Its my understanding that the Marshalls are not the big issue
Its the manpower required to run the grid/crash crew/clark of the course
& the hours leading up to the event,clearing entries etc

Well if they haven't got it sorted by the end of March , I'm booking my fares to Mugello, Catalunya and Misano ! Two motogps and a superbike round in three weeks !!!!!!!! Gaz.

Slowpoke and roogazza - was that an offer of help? You sound pretty enthusiastic.

Any others? The more people we have the easier it will be for everyone.

I'm going to organise a beer and pizza night for potential helpers in the next few weeks so we can sort out the details. Let me know what night suits etc. That includes you Clivoris.

[Clivoris]

Sure Bartman. I'm a slut for beer and pizza. I can give them a heads up about what occurs etc. Tips on how to manage the groupies so you don't burn out during the day, and other important stuff. Can we coordinate it with a club night?
