and then you hear him yelling "any day , any day"....dont crash and you wont have to wait....and for 1, its practice and those guys are volunteering...go out there and flip your own damn car, if you want it done right....this is exactly why i DONT volunteer to marshall, but marshall after my race and thats it...cause people expect you to keep an eye on their car, and their car only .....

I volunteer to marshall as much as I can and I will marshall everyones car the same way I hope they would marshall mine. Some people who marshall you can tell they are not happy about being out there but hey...its all part of the sport, without people volunteering we wouldnt have these tracks to use.

untill you have to break some guys nose, cause he came out on the track yelling at you and acting all hard, cause he crashed on 1 end and it took me 5 min. to get to his car, by then , it flamed out ( never happened) but almost has, countless of times.....if someone yells at me in my face, cause i wasnt trying to break my neck or my back to get to his car, im gonna knock that person the F*** out!.....i used to be on the track marshalling at all times...not anymore...i would rather gain friends at the track, then make enemies

Plain and simple......Marshal how you want to be Marshaled. And volunteering is a great way to learn lines.

i once marshelled a buggy and it stalled, i grabbed it by the sides not the spoiler, And the owner said that can cause the car to stall.. he was nice about it but told me to try and grab from the wing and bumped not the sides.

im a brushless guy but i dont get how it stalled.. i thought it was just a flame out.. but i got the car quick.

Only if your finger got the flywheel through the hole in the chassis. I've seen that happen.
