Should be a good weekend with the likes of Britcars,Tuscans,Fiestas and Superkarts backing up the local championships
Karts in particular are always good value over the 'undulations' of Combe

Usual faces there then ?

Excellent day yesterday on Post 10. Many thanks to all the crew particularly with the handling of the barrier damaging TVR shunt in the morning. I watched it on the Motors TV camera in the afternoon. Wow!

Grandslammer · 10 Aug 2009, 10:32 (Ref:2518697)

Although I was over the other side of the circuit for this meeting,(post 9 & 11),I think those who worked the Folly/Avon Rise area,deserve a worthy mention,along with the rescue and circuit staff
A rather long and eventful weekend

Thanks

Kate and I were the first marshals to get there (it was right opposite our post), the driver of car 77 (the one that went right up in flames) had jumped out of his car quickly and was straight over to car 9 where the driver seemed to be going in and our of consciousness, we noticed smoke coming from the engine bay of the car so poured in the powder and foam into the engine bay to stop it going up in flames as well. Kate helped the driver and made sure he kept his helmet on and stayed still until the doctors arrived. I then noticed petrol pouring from the back so covered that with foam etc and then everyone else took over really....

bonjour · 10 Aug 2009, 11:05 (Ref:2518714)

Folly Post 2 - Sunday

Excellent and well done to all the team, especially to Kate & Dave.
No doubt all the marshals around the circuit could see the flames & smoke coming for the burning TVR after it hit another car which had left it’s oil over the track just in front of us, due to a big engineer blow up.

All the drives escape with no serious injuries.

Dave, wot you and Kate did yesterday was very professional, Excellent work, I was on flags on folly , And watched it all unfold ,Once the oil had gone down All hell broke lose! I know its a big no no crossing a live track but the pack had gone by, And at folly as you know you have got a very good view and you acted on that, Good job those two cars didnt make the standing crop on the infield? Very well done Dave And Kate . PS Dave, would you like to join our team? AS a marshal with only a hand full of meetings under your belt you did good. Well done.

(The older flag at folly?)

Exactly what FATNACKER said . ( The younger flag at folly) waving the yellow like hell because some bright spark decided to take the second yellow out of the flag bag.

bonjour · 10 Aug 2009, 18:23 (Ref:2519016)

If FATNACKER name is now the older flaggy and devon kev name is now the younger flaggy, what is now DW name?

Please keep your answers clean

Can't believe it happened really. I'd said to Kate not long before it all happened that we'd had a quiet day....obviously I spoke too soon!!

Yeah if they had made it to the crops on the infield I think we'd have had a few fire engines on the way!

Yeah of course I'd like to join the team!! Have you got a team name?

Guys, its my first time on this forum and I came across this thread. Can I thank all of you involved in sorting out the carnage at Follies during the second TVR race. Had it not been for your efficient handling of the situation I am sure things would have been a lot worse, especially for Ben in the grey / black Tuscan.

When I arrived on the scene, very sideways, in the red TVR Tasmin number 24, I was really worried that I was going to stop in the flames from Owens Tuscan #77. Luckily I stopped a few yards short.

Also thanks to the young lady who asked if I was OK. Although I was pysically well I was a little traumatised by the whole situation and didn't really know what to do as I had never been in the middle of a situation like that before. By the time I sorted myself out, everything was under control and both driver were out of the cars.

Please don't be too hard on the Medic who was screaming for the spinal board. At the time, I could understand his fustration although he was, maybe, a little vocal. His only concern at that point getting Ben onto his back.

If it wasn't for the expertese, efficiency and devotion of you guys, our sport would be a lot more dangerous. We simply couldn't do it. Thanks for doing what you do!!!!!!!

Best Regards

Dave
