Motorcycle Sport Marshals.
Thank You.
We can't compete without you. You turn out for every event in the country.
Rain or shine, you are there.
You keep things running smoothly.
You keep us safe.
When we break and drop oil and stuff, you clean it up.
And when we fall you keep us safe till the medics arrive.
I salute you.
But what I have noticed, is it seems like there is a lack of younger people coming through, so as well as a thank you to existing marshals, this is a call out for new blood to get involved, even if it's just for a few weekend every year.
The pay is amazing! Not. It's voluntary, some expenses are available, but it isn't done for the money. It is a chance to become involved and be part of an amazing group of people and often get a ringside view - though you may not get to watch much racing.
I drag race at Santa Pod Raceway who have their own drag racing marshals, check out their opportunities here https://santapod.co.uk/opportunities/marshals/ both car and bike racing.
If you are further north get in touch with Marshals North West. They organise some of their own events, but supply marshals to motorcycle events around the northwest, including Aintree. Three Sisters, Oulton Park and the TT. Training is generally March time, but get in touch for further details.
If you aren't in either of these areas, Straightliners - The Home Of Speed run events on the other side of the Pennines or get in touch with your local race track and ask, they should be able to point you in the right direction.
If you have a few weekends spare, try it. You can always stop if you find it isn't for you. What have you got to lose?
