Scariest Cornerworking Incident

[P_M]

That you Peter?

Yep, I know, I'm not wearing my black hat in my picture.. but then again.. I don't have my camera with me either..

Recognized one of the stories huh?

Yep, and your reference of seeing stuff through the lens and "P_M". I know, Simon, Mike and Kumi might tell people that I'm not good at putting 2 & 2 together....but this is proof!   

[Simon]

We never said you weren't good at putting two and two together, we just can't figure out why you say it comes to three!

NOTE - STORY #4 did NOT involve ANY MARRC Corner Workers

It would have been a story with a much happier ending.

NOTE - STORY #4 did NOT involve ANY MARRC Corner Workers 

If MARRC had been there.. I probably wouldn't have been the one going over the tires.  I know the flagger would have seen (at least heard) the rider go down and made the call.. I know the red and 'bus flags would have been out and I'm sure the EMT's and additional help would have been there before the guy came too..

The sad part is that there are folks out there that think they know what to do, when to do it and how to do it.  And the only time it comes out that they are a lost cause is when the excrement strikes the roational air movement device..  I don't know if people have an idea of just how much work and prep you guys put into a weekend.  And then when it does happen, you guys seem to just move like you got a purpose and make things happen.. I think some folks take that for granted that everyone is as prepared as you are..   And that story shows you.. Not by a long shot.

Ok since you aren't biased, I was by some corner workers, and I still need 15 POSTS!

Who remembers turn 4 in the WERA races this past June when Lloyd Bayley and #50 (can't remember his name) come screaming down the hill and decide to bang each other and they both lowside and the bikes come flying at me right behind the tire wall. I am jumping out of the way as the bikes hit the tire wall, go straight up in the air and #50's bike snaps in half and his battery goes sailing over my head. Then as the dust clears and Lloyd and he quit arguing, Lloyd walks over to me and says "Hey Guzz, get any pictures of that?" 

I headed to the green room for a few minutes :)

I don't know if people have an idea of just how much work and prep you guys put into a weekend. 

Some of our own people don't even know how much work goes on before and after the weekend is over.  Simply put we do it for the love of the sport just like you.

But thanks for the kind words Peter, they are much appreciated.
