Hi Jamie, the start is fully manned thank you. We appreciate you helping Leigh in Hamsterley. | ||
| joe_the_waiter |
Still require a finish / stop line crew for one stage. any offers???? | ||
| club sec |
Well for a finish line radio I was a lot busier than anticipated! I'm not sure whether the weather helped or hindered, if it didn't rain the midges got you!
Drove back from the end of SS2/7 to the whitegates at the grove and honestly thought I was going to get stuck. One severely cut up corner did it's best to drag me in! A few minor issues to polish up but 10/10 for a first time effort. |

Did anyone hear that apalling wailing noise in Hamsterley yesterday? It was awful! Sounded like a cheap police siren. It came and went, came and went then disappeared when Dave's Frontera came round the corner......I thnk he scared it away. | ||

| joe_the_waiter |
ha ha... not quite accurate.. went off After SS1. never mind.. werent the only officials to end up in a ditch.
As for the cheap siren... wasnt that bad. In fact what you dont know is that it is a WRC siren.... as used on Rally Argentina on their course cars... so, if its good enough for the world Championship, its good enough for the ToH. i have to say though.. me and Bob laughed at the Spec safety siren... that was barely audible... now that Did sound like a cheap siren. Have to say though,,, the radios seemed busy all day. Stock 4 had a busy day, and i was in hysterics early on listening to the the discussions on who is who in the 'stock' callsign range. Ste A ".....err... Stock one is our Dave...... Stock 3 is..... Stock 5 is....." Steve W "well i'll have Stock 6 then......." |
||
| joe_the_waiter |
Thank you to all who turned out and marshalled on the event including the full Stock callsigns (incl. an extra one) and all other operators. Hope you all had a great day with no major problems.
sorry for those who did have problems.. like Geoff Dale with a holed sump. Martin... i am under the impression that you hadn't recieved either Newsletter 3, or SS2 Marshal access instructions.. is this correct? (Stage commanders and Radio co-ordinator sent these out to all their marshals about a week before the event). |
||
| club sec |
No newsletter 3 or 4, no sign on map ref.
From what I saw yesterday it would have been better if marshals had signed on in the grove where there was plenty of space and the entrance to SS1 wouldn't have become a car park. I presume Geoffs car was the "ginetta" that required rcovery from in stage. |
||
| joe_the_waiter |
Geoffs car was the yellow / green kit car.. not sure what its called.
Marshals newsletter was sent out a week before the event by stage commanders and Bill Winning, (when did you volunteer?). Newsletter 4 was with the marshals info pack at sign on 9you actually read no.4 last week), but i just realised that as you didnt sign on at SS2 start, you wouldnt recieve the pack allocated for you. Regarding sign on at the Grove.. that would of required stage commanders / assistants to be away from their stages until everyone is in stage.. not ideal. (its normal to sign on at the start of a stage). I will however look at alternatives. All marshals i saw, had their access info maps which directs them to their stage start and seemed happy. |

Presume that the tree fell over before car 15 parked ??
That collection of pics should be enough to put anyone (with a brain) off rallying. |

| steaallan |
sorry as myself and stu were busy tidying everyones mess up (equipment vehicle) we only managed to see a few cars and we missed out on the presentation while everybody else was there we were still on stage | ||
| joe_the_waiter |
Its OK Ste, you werent the only one to miss the presentation. I also was still busy on stage while O'Brien was recieving his trophy. Never mind.... next year perhaps | ||
| steaallan |

|
||
| joe_the_waiter |
