4x4 SC so tempting...but mod ST so much more fun All open wheel for me this weekend.

I have given some thought about how to arrange the marshalling. At the first race in the trophy series, we had problems in the ST class getting the prior heat's drivers to marshal, nevermind sweep the track. In the ST A-main, as some of you know, the marshalling was less than stellar. I know...it happens...not much you can do about it. However, I thought it might be worth trying to have the B-mains marshalled by other B-mains, and likewise for the A-mains, if the number of entrants supports it. Maybe I'm missing something...maybe better drivers don't necessarily make better marshals. Or maybe for whatever classes have A- and B-mains, the A-main from that class marshals the B-main and vice versa. I'm just thinking out loud here (I know...dangerous), but I'm wondering what other people here think. Obviously, it doesn't do much good to outright punish people for marshalling poorly, but it would be nice if we could think of a way to incentivize the less good marshals to do a better job.
