Boro19 Sprint -- 20th March
Following on from the very successful but very cold Shakedown Sprint, which was well supported by BMMC-SE marshals, Borough19 MC have another Sprint at North Weald on Sunday 20th March, for which they are desperately short of marshals.
If anyone is interested, please PM me and I will forward details to B19. |

Had a very cold, but enjoyable day at the Borough 19 sprint at North Weald on Sunday.
First time marshalling a sprint so it made an interesting change from race marshalling. The radio training at Brands this year came in very useful as I was on my own with just a red flag and a radio for company. There seemed to be more incident during the morning runs than during the faster paced afternoon runs. A TVR 'wedge' came barrelling through the cones at the finish line after the suspension broke on the front right. They're b***dy heavy cars with that big V8 up front, so we had a bit of a struggle trying to lift the nose to get the recovery gear underneath. The organisers were very good and the runs flowed at a good pace. Giving marshals priority at the burger van was a very good idea Driving standards were monitored and maintained very well I noticed. Especially impressed that they didn't allow one car to re-start after being red flagged because he had gone through 3 red flags at flat-out race speed. Common sense clerking (big thumbs up). Hope to fit some more Borough 19 MC days in later in the season now if I have a free day. The club were very friendly, as were the drivers I found. I recommend these events to anyone. Phill |
