A Flag Marshal's Journey: Winton VMRC Round 2 and Trucks July 5th & 6th 2014

Well another w/end of Motorsport while V8s were in Townsville in nice warm weather I was up at Winton freezing my butt off with a great team from VFT flag Marshals. What a great w/end we had despite Saturday being cold and wet and very challenging for the drivers Qualifying and first round of races went well. I was on flag Point 2.0 Normally a point full of action and close calls but I had nothing but a few wides and short cuts the drizzle was enough to keep the track wet and all of our stuff but a good hot lunch in the base of race control provided by Winton warmed us up and ready for the afternoon racing. Sunday still very cold with snow on the mountains and a icy breeze but at least it was dry. A full day of racing again no major incidents around the track and I only had one report to write. Hot roast Beef rolls for lunch once again warmed us up ready for the afternoon.With the trucks racing all flag points on inside of track need to vacate to outer edge for safety they race on the short track all other categories raced long. Last race last lap I was glad I was on outer edge as a truck took a short cut behind my flag point and only missed it by two meters was good to watch. Race categories for w/end were: Super TT's, Suzuki Swifts, Hyundai Excels, Sport Sedans, Pulsar Challenge, Super Trucks, BMW & Invited, Modern Sports Cars.Sandown in Two weeks stay safe everyone
