Racing Marshal Training Day

[Harv]

Just done my first training day at Cadwell Park ( near Louth ) and got my 2 training credits for fire fighting and trainee attendance. Now need to attend 10 race days as a marshal to become a certified Track Marshal and a further 15 days racing to be an experienced marshal.

Had to put out a petrol fire with powder extinguisher and foam for the fire training which was fairly good fun but the guy setting the fire was a bit of a nutter as he threw petrol on the blaze to make it bigger - from a bucket luckily it didn't backfire on him and instead made for a bit more realistic fire as it set the grass alight too

Now looking forward to my first set of race meetings and possibly being flag marshal at a few meetings.

have to say if anyone likes watching motor-sport but can't afford to go to the meetings its a great way to watch all the action for free, provide a much needed service and get as close to the action as possible ( nobody in front of you ) without having to pay for a drive or actually work for a team.

Had good fun and learnt a lot and I now have my official Tango outfit to go with the title too
