SILVERSTONE GP - Where are YOU playing?

Mark Mitchell · 1 Jul 2003, 12:10 (Ref:648292)

I thought this might be a good place to let other ten-tenthers know where you have been posted for the Grand Prix. It would be cool if there were several of us on the same post(s)
Don't forget any more suggestions also for the "Social" on the Saturday night!

chezza · 1 Jul 2003, 13:11 (Ref:648391)

Will be nice to know where everybody is playing because then I can say hello if i pass the posts on my wander round the track!!!

Mark Mitchell · 1 Jul 2003, 14:19 (Ref:648465)

Well I'll start the ball rolling....
I'm flagging Pits Centre - 2nd time in four years - just how cr*p is that!
It means I get to hold a yellow flag for three days.

chezza · 1 Jul 2003, 14:21 (Ref:648467)

Oh dear...I can't get to there...will have to see you at the party!

You get to see the grid and everything though!

Claire · 1 Jul 2003, 14:22 (Ref:648468)

I would tell you but I don't know yet, as a newbie and never having marshaled at Silverstone before I expect I will be stuck out where nothing is going to happen!!

**Stephen Green** · 1 Jul 2003, 14:25 (Ref:648469)

Observer would I be right in assuming you are a Silverstone regular/BRDC marshal as no-one else has their paperwork through yet? (If you have the inside line maybe you can tell me where I'm working this year!!!

)

**Stephen Green** · 1 Jul 2003, 14:27 (Ref:648472)

Claire,

For my first Grand Prix I was posted to Copse Outside...Brilliant! Gary Dearns and the lads made my weekend one to remember and I have made many friends at Silverstone as a result of that weekend. You may be surprised at where you get posted!

Mark Mitchell · 1 Jul 2003, 14:56 (Ref:648512)

Stephen, no I am not a Silverstone regular (Remind me, isn't it just off the M1?) and I'm not a BRDC marshal (Anymore)
I called the MSA out of curiosity and the nice lady told me there & then!

Thinking now though I wish I hadn't bothered.

**Stephen Green** · 1 Jul 2003, 15:39 (Ref:648541)

I did something similar...Hangar 1 Outside.

DarrellB · 1 Jul 2003, 16:05 (Ref:648563)

I will be driving one of the silver M class Merc medical cars, most likely positioned at Stowe (same as the past two years) a tough job but someones got to do it

**Stephen Green** · 2 Jul 2003, 07:27 (Ref:649249)

I'll pop down for coffee then Darrell?

scorch · 2 Jul 2003, 07:33 (Ref:649257)

Don't do that you may wake him up

Should just about be within the skills range of an observer - there not being enough time left to retrain you in the art of holding the blue!

chezza · 2 Jul 2003, 10:10 (Ref:649377)

That would be once of those nice cars with air con if its hot and a lovely heater if its cold?! Will pop down to stowe at some point during the weekend then!

And You're God's Gift then eh?

jamo · 2 Jul 2003, 11:17 (Ref:649448)

Enough of the chatter.

Whats the score with the 'social' !?

Presume we work on the basis that he / she who has raised most posts on the msg board gets the first round - then so on down the line to the newcomers .... possibly, maybe if anyone still standing !!

Bodysnatcher · 2 Jul 2003, 11:23 (Ref:649456)

neat trick observer (BTW I know you could'nt be this smart

)

1)clone yourself (ie new 10/10ths identity)
2)reset your post count to zero
3)have brilliant idea that highest post count buys first round

where's EP when you need her
no, seriously, where is she?

Rest assured, observer ain't that smart; in fact, he knows jamo, but doesn't know who he is......if that makes sense.

She's been very quiet recently.:confused:

jamo · 2 Jul 2003, 12:13 (Ref:649521)

Well put Dave.

There's gratitude for you - after I taught you all I know about flagging...

Probably why you went on to be an observer...

Mark Mitchell · 2 Jul 2003, 12:42 (Ref:649575)

It's all your fault then!!

She was in the chat room last night - obviously just you that have offended her

thornton · 9 Jul 2003, 09:36 (Ref:656669)

CLUB OUTSIDE.any other ten tenth ers on this post,have not done this one for the GP.but have done for other meetings,no gravel trap all tarmac

Claire · 9 Jul 2003, 11:42 (Ref:656763)

I'm at Chapel, never marshaled at Silverstone let alone a GP so should be good!!

Bodysnatcher · 9 Jul 2003, 11:44 (Ref:656767)

no sign of mine yet - maybe posty'll bring it today.
Just one thing worrying me at the mo, I notice Fridays snoozathon (sorry Test session) starts at 8.30.
Does this mean we have to be present on post 1 hour before anything happens

0730 or earlier start with a 1900 timetabled finish - Gawd give me strength

My apologies in advance to my IO (those that know me will understand) esp if it's the bloke from Stowe 2001 - one of my better Friday morning efforts.
