advanced corner marshall training

[Equipment Man]

Yeah Mike, don't forget we need to learn how to take the key out also


You still got those jumper cable.

[TheHiriser]

Taking the key out wasn't the problem, lol.  Forgetting to push the big button was.  I always carry those jumper cables in the van, along with a 5 ton jack and basically every tool you'd need to fix anything on it.  If you've ever seen the fleet of vehicles my boss owns you'd understand why I carry all that stuff.

Ok i got alot of feed back but i need some more, i need atleast a few more topic's to make this work. I got bike inspection,radio's,time estamate's, some about our crew, and some about the 2 groups we work for/with Wera/CCS.

Keep me in the loop guys.

I haven't been out for AMA training with Egor
in a couple of years.

As some of you know I work for both AHRMA and WERA.

As of this past season I have also taken up sidecar racing.
I have raced with the SRA in Canada, Willow, Sandia and at Mid-O (VMD).

I might be able to give you some infor on each of these organizations and/or
some of my experiances. I have worked vertually everything at one time or another.

  those side car things are crazy  ... I'm sure you have seen some of the threads resulting from the sidecar visit to Summit!!! 

[limy_1]

Why yes I have, both here and on the SRA site.

Judy, the monkey, was jones'en for a ride at their last
race the last weekend of September in Canada.
She was still missing about 4 hours from Summit. 

My first weekend up in Canada I watched the #1 rig go over on the cooldown
lap of practice 

I now have seen 3 rigs on their roof this year and almost got left in the dust my self.

Now back to the original discussion.
Go to Canada and talk about flags  and  again.
To start the race you use lights or drop the Canadian flag.
1/2 way is blue/white flag crossed with the green
1 lap to go is the blue/white
checkers are checkered, who'd of guessed?
Don't get me started on the double yellow or crimson flags.

We had gotten word that Judy was "okay" but am very glad to hear that she was itchin' to get back out there!  As I am sure you saw, I have seen A LOT of things while working tracks, and that one REALLY shook me   

So you are saying not to look to Candada for hints and suggestions on advanced cornerworking??  ::)

[limy_1]

I was not saying that.

R.A.C.E. (Racing Associates Canada Events), incorporated as RACE EVENTS INC., is a sanctioning body responsible for organizing motorcycle roadracing events in Canada.

RACE was formed in the fall of 1980 with the objective of improving the quality and stature of motorcycle roadracing. It was founded by Shannonville Motorsport Park who recognized the need for a group that specialized in promoting, organizing and aquiring sponsorship exclusively for motorcycle roadracing. After 20 years of operation, RACE is still a leader in motorcycle roadracing events organizations.

Marshals shall hold a RACE Marshal License. CASC-OR, AMA and QRFA/ASRQ
licenses are also approved.

I can say they run a tight show.

[Kuala76]

OH okay!! Sorry for the misunderstanding!  So it appears they DO have some type of licensing system in place, something that has been alluded to in motorcycle racing here.  It would be interesting to find out more information on their system!  If there is a working system in place, why recreate the wheel right?
