I knew that someone would respond with this lame excuse.
So what you are saying then is:
-If you get taken out by another driver, "its your fault".
-If the marshal puts you back on the wrong part of the track, "Its your fault".
-If the marshal puts you down facing the wrong direction on the track, "Its your fault".
-If the marshal puts you down on the wrong part of the track AND facing backwards, "its your fault".
-If the marshal doesn't want to touch your "Scary, noisy, smelly, dirty nitro car", then "its your fault" for choosing to drive nitro.
And by your theory of it being "the marshal's choice to run, jog, or walk to your car", you may as well have the racers marshaling their own cars.
Grow up. All I was doing is suggesting a way to make the racing experience better for everyone, by teaching people how to marshal properly. The whole problem with people is they want to come out and race (having their cake), but they don't want to do the little bit of work required (eating it to) when it comes to marshaling for 5 minutes.
Things will probably never change, but it doesn't hurt to throw the idea out there.

Yeah I made a mistake and ended up my lid, No big deal. It kinda became a big deal when the kid who was marshaling stood over my car and looked at it for a couple mins trying to find a place to grab it at.... O well live to race another day.

this is always going to be a touchy subject...no one is perfect, and very seldom does anyone not make a mistake during a 5 minute run...as for the whining about the marshalling, well there very well could be a class for it..i will say that 10 years ago it was differrent, but unless your getting paid to do this hobby, it is a hobby and should be for fun...im sure everyone gets marshalled badly sometimes, or maybe it happens a lot, but everyone is in the same boat..this is a hobby and it is for fun..im sure if you cared about it that much you could bring it up to the race director or even Keoni. but coming on line and crying about it doenst accomplish anything..believe me i know..i have been blamed for killing onroad here..lol..until then, have fun with yours and everyone else that enjoys this hobby...
It has been brought up to them. I wasn't crying about it either...I made a simple suggestion. Some people on here need to get get some looser undies. My suggestion isn't nullified by people making dumb-ass statements like..."its the marshals choice how fast he gets to your car". Thats all I was getting at.

I was thinking about taking my son to race his new Slash for his first time on saturday night, and I plan on racing my SC10. Is there usually a pretty good turn out saturday night for the short course trucks?
