Alan and I are on Startline.

Hopefully the camera crew will bring me some more cakes this year!!

I'm not a marshal but I'll be there all 3 days so I'll keep an eye out for 10/10th badges.

If anybody is selling a ticket for Saturday I'd like to know. Will pay cash and I'd like to pick it up before the day as opposode to at the gate. Cheers.

You are aware there are no tickets for sale on the day at Goodwood?

zac510 · 3 Jul 2006, 15:39 (Ref:1647409)

Yeah Stephen, but if you book during this week they won't mail you a ticket, but will hold it at the gate, which is what I was referring to

Chris Hobson · 4 Jul 2006, 12:15 (Ref:1647954)

If anyone gets a few minutes "Down Time", please come along to the Volunteers In Motorsports stand (shared with Goodwood Marshals Assoc.) I will be pleased to say hello and have a chat on any marshalling subjects.

Hopefully I will be able to get time to have a wander round and say "hello" to as many marshals as possible.

Have a warm, dry, safe and enjoyable weekend

Regards

Chris Hobson
National Chairman
British Motorsport Marshals Club

Clive · 4 Jul 2006, 13:57 (Ref:1648036)

Keep an eye out for a 4x4 Merc marked up as "RADIO CAR" cos that'll be me.

Jon.

I'll spend most of my time at the start line but will venture up to top paddock now and then.

Clive · 6 Jul 2006, 17:46 (Ref:1649768)

Guess who's got some bright new orange probans then, just to dazzle everyone on post 3 and probably much further too?

Reckoned the patches on my old ones needed patching

see y'all 2moro

lifeof · 8 Jul 2006, 14:46 (Ref:1650895)

At the start of this thread was a very nice photograph of Marshalls in front of straw bales. Am I wrong in thinking that car events are not allowed to use straw bales these days ?

zac510 · 8 Jul 2006, 22:14 (Ref:1651045)

at the marshalls before the wall with water pistols ambushing the Safety Car on its way back down!

Can't speak for any other events, but Goodwood certainly uses them to line the track. I assume this is in place of more permanent restraints for errant vehicles.

lifeof · 9 Jul 2006, 19:33 (Ref:1651642)

I know that they are temporary at this 'imitation hillclimb' but I thought that they had been banned by the MSA.

I was in the radio car immediately in front of the viscious assault by the Goodwood Taliban and only escaped because i had my windows closed.

**Stephen Green** · 10 Jul 2006, 06:54 (Ref:1651915)

Got home 21.30 last night after a great weekend. Once again many thanks to all the team on post 1 for a super time. Get well soon Suzie

In our defence we were attacked first on Friday, so on Saturday we came armed. We had a great time as did the Formula 1 team vans who were lobbing bottles of water at us too, even a mobile phone at one point, but he did come back for that. All in the spirit of GFOS I believe as long as when the cars are out everyone is alert and behaving I see no issue in having a laugh with the Crews and Cheif Marshals and ..well.. anyone else silly enough to get in range.

Great weekend, loved every minute of it. Even the labourious 1.5 mile journey home.

The bales are held in place by some very sturdy posts behind them and do serve as a usefull barrier to errant vehicles as one or two single seaters found out over the weekend...

Many thanks to all on BARC rescue for putting up with me this weekend...

I was getting RSI from waving to your post!!!!

Look's like you all had a great weekend. You were certainly the liveliest looking post.

I'd like to thank all the IC's for returning your radio's so promptly. It make's my job easier and means i can get in the bar before nine O'clock.

But only just.

zac510 · 10 Jul 2006, 15:07 (Ref:1652355)

Saw one of the wooden posts break last year from the impact of that black Jag - but it gave just the right amount of 'give'. However, they had an extra 3 rows of hay bales there this year.

So much more aesthetically pleasing to look past than cement blocks.
