New trainee :-D
Hi Guys.
Just thought I would drop an email to introduce myself. I took the leap yesterday and finally got myself up to the circuit to have my first shot at marshalling. As I enjoyed it so much I have sent away my required forms and I guess I am now a trainee! :-D I have been interested in motorsport for a good part of my life. Mainly touring car style stuff and bikes. Not a fan of single seater racing. I felt more involved as a marshal than I did as a spectator so I'm now looking forward to the next race meet! Thanks Craig |

Hi Craig!
Glad you've managed to figure out all the forms/endorsements/whatchamacallits! What're your local circuits? |

Hello Craig
I'm in my second year and have just upgraded from Trainee. Good luck with your training there are lots of experienced Marshalls that are more than happy to pass on their knowledge to you. |

Hi guys,
Thanks for the responses :-) My local circuit is Knockhill and the club I'm going to be marshalling with is the Scottish Motor Racing Club. In the future I would love to do some of the bigger events but I'm in no hurry. at 21 I have plenty of time :-) |

Only ever done Knockhill once - 1992 and Touring Cars. "Och - its only a shower" - well it rained throughout!
Welcome to our merry band and do try to get to other circuits, not least because that way you get to meet us all. |

Seriously, everyone has to start out. I hope that Craig is posting on here about his 40 years as man and boy in orange in 2053. I will look forward to reading it.... |

I'll remind you that you are "Only as old as (the woman) you feel" and she is 25 Last edited by thepits!; 19 Aug 2013 at 14:17. |

I would like to point out that all women are only "as old as they feel" and in most cases that is about 25 years. (Well it is in my case.)
So in April I will only be half my age - hurrah! |

As the biblical life span is quoted as "three score years and ten" - ie 70 - I decided to start counting backwards when I got to 35. That means I'm now somewhere in my teens, and should get back into my childhood in time to retire.
