Marshalling at Forrestburn
“Last Sunday, Douglas and I went along to help out with marshalling for the Hillclimb at Forrestburn. I didn’t relish the early start on the first weekend of my holidays, but we set off keeping an eye on where the dark clouds were. Being the pessimist in the partnership, I was convinced that it would be rain, thunder and lightning all day – Douglas was confident that ‘it would blow over and miss us’. When we arrived we were given orange overalls and waterproofs to wear and assigned out Post – for those of you who know Forrestburn, it was Post 6. We were teamed with Brian and Janet from EACC who were experienced marshals with their own fireproof overalls. Douglas and I have marshalled a lot, but never at a Hillclimb so it was all new to us.
The morning consisted of the 3 practice runs. The drivers used the runs to find the perfect line for the timed runs in the afternoon. Janet was on the radio but had to maintain radio silence unless there was a problem to report at our Post. She received regular updates – ‘car on the line’, ‘red flag out’, etc and she relayed them to us. Douglas got to wave our red flag to warn cars to slow down if there was a problem ahead with a car off or stopped on the course. Brian and I were allowed to sweep the grass off the track if a car had clipped the edge.
After our complimentary burger and tea, the real competition started at 13:15. Each car had two timed runs with the fastest counting towards the final standings. The competition was keen within the classes – including some very nice Historics – with the single-seaters in particular haring up the hill. There were one or two incidents to keep us on our toes, but nothing serious and the day passed off very smoothly. The MSCC guys are clearly very experienced at organising these events and in addition to the competition there was a lot of chat and catching up going on amongst the marshals and the competitors.
The heavy rain missed us, we just had a little bit of drizzle and I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it. If you fancy giving it a go you will be made most welcome and will be giving something back to motorsport”.
Thanks June – much appreciated and hope that you come back for the next events on 27 and 28 August. If anyone else wants to try their hand at marshalling please get in touch and if you want to compete in August, please get your entry in as soon as possible.
