Well what a w/end great weather great company and great racing. categories were Aust Manufacturers, Porsche GT3, Radicals,F3,Saloon Cars Super Six and Aust GTs. I attended all three days Friday being free practice I was assigned to Flag Post 11.0 with a Trainee, first time at this point on a small straight leading into turns 11,12 and even though a quiet day was a lot of fun and no real down time so day went fast and only had a few cars going wide. Saturday and Sunday was assigned to Flag Post 9.0 with 4 other flag marshals and a communicator and Sector Marshal great team and plenty of fun. This post is on a left hand turn with cars coming down from 6.0 through some s bends at speed so a lot of locking brakes and if they dont get it right into the sand trap they go. Saturday had the most action with a rollover just past 6.0 in the super six touring cars driver ok but car not so good. With a few wides and spins we were kept on our toes but the afternoon proved the best with 5 reports in about 40 mins in the last two events lots of pushing and spins but nothing serious. The F3 race at 1415 in the afternoon really woke us up ... How long does it take to clear a flag point when a F3 is heading towards you at speed DAMN FAST I tell you but he missed by that much but wiped out the Shannons National sign and unlucky for the next car who ran over the sign now flat on the track and ended up in the sand. On Sunday our biggest incident was a Lambo spinning into sand trap and bringing out a safety car we did a quick clean up on a hot track in between safety car laps all good back to racing we go. Next Event Winton V8s until then Stay Safe everyone.
