MGCC - Oulton 7th May

[ibuckley]

An enjoyable day as always with the MGCC. And the blue flask was extremely welcome considering that last year's red one gave up on me at the F3/GT meet.

Very pleased to see Russell holding his own. I didn't even need to put out the white flag for him! Good luck with the upcoming races mate.

nothinat all to do with me! think terry, the marshal who was unluck to be paired with me was made up though, he said all last year he had nothing to do, start of the day " we will change that today if your with me mate"

think it is getting to a point were people panic when i roll up on post

[Justin Moran]

Try getting on post with me mate, I have a theory about my personal gravitational field actually repelling cars!

[Woolley]

I've been magnetic for about 3 years, but stopped when I got onto Lodge with you. You may be right.

[Bakersboy]

Ooh that's like the theory of tying a piece of buttered toast on the back of a cat. Toast always lands butter side down, a cat always lands on it's feet. Now we have the Grav v C9/89 juxtaposition. Fight!!!

[Justin Moran]

No fight mate, its not worth that. But the theory could be worth testing? Now Grav do you want to be the cat or the toast?

[Woolley]

Ugh. I now have a mental picture of you two covering each other in butter at the start of the meeting.

Thanks for sharing that, we've all got that mental picture now!

Same thing with miniKayBee - she's seen some big incidents recently. Even when she's not watching she managed to cause a Safety Car although in this case it was just to pull a car out of the gravel trap.

if u want mental pics of justin iam sure i have a wonderful old pic of him, justin knows which one.
i think that theory is worth a go mate, have a 100% record this year on race and track days for at least a spin on post.
the guy who was with me hadnt had to touch a car for 18 months of marshaling, i soon changed that

[Justin Moran]

That picture should be banned mate, its just a little too graphic.
Well, I was on post with one of the best magnets in the game at Snett, and we had one run wide all day! So does that go some way to proving my theory?

[Hepatic]

No. We had 2 cars pull off on the opposite side of the track to us, or were you asleep at those points when i was crossing the track under safety car?

[Justin Moran]

They dont count! Do they?
Ok so we had three, but nothing serious and no crashes.
Still think my theory stands.

I was having an off day, but look what happened next day. 4 car pile up in historic race, had to call for rescue and a race stop as i had a driver with a broken ankle.

[Justin Moran]

I wasnt on post with you though! I was half way round the circuit, so your magnet was in full effect mate!

If anyone can tell me what happened, i would love to know!

Also if anyone knows if there were any photos taken also i would like to see them!

Congratulations also to Russell for a difficult first race in testing conditions.

Danny, I was one of the first marshals to you. You seemed very dazed and unsure of your whereabouts. It was weird how slowly the car kicked up on its side after spinning off the grass back into the track. I also thought you were going to end up upside down but think your tyres caught the track and slammed you back down quite heavily. I'm glad you were ok in the end and I was pleased that other drivers had the decency to slow down and give us all room to deal with you. Thanks to all!

Just one last thing... How the hell do you get in and out of the car without breaking your neck? I'm glad no-one got pictures of me trying to get out (face first) after towing it back to parc ferme.
