WA Radio Scanner Users' Group

who here is a member of Barbergello raceway EG Fire or Pit

I'm a flag marshall, and also do some pit crew work in the formula classic category... whyyy?

just wanna know the differant roles that make on the track like (pit crew) and rescue, pace cars etc etc

Take a look at the WA Sporting Car Club's page on becoming an official if it's something that interests you:

http://wascc.com.au/become-an-official.html

There's a number of roles for people out there, everything from scruitineering to trackside marshals to timekeeping. Long days but great fun and very rewarding - you get so much more perspective on motor sport than just being a spectator...

Im the Chief Fire Rescue Marshal

My Mum runs the race office

And of course there's racing happening this Sunday so anyone who's interested should come up and check it out...

And no flaggies turned up Saturday...

Correct. We don't do regularity events.

We have enough people who are prepared to volunteer their time for one day on a weekend but not enough for two days.

The WASCC asked for flaggies and were told they would be there but none showed up...........As Chief Fire Rescue Marshal Im a Senior Official/Managment and my paper work for Saturday arrived in the mail yesterday.So Doug I think all officials would not have got the info

Yes, my paperwork for Sunday arrived yesterday too which was so helpful

All I know is that at our briefing on Sunday morning, our senior official and association president said that we had been asked to provide flaggies for Saturday, but the association had declined as they didn't feel that it was fair to ask our members to staff two different events on the same weekend.

We've been told that if we individually want to go to events like regularity, drifting, motorcycle racing, etc then we are more than welcome to do so, but the WFMA isn't going to be involved in organising and co-ordinating people for these events.

I contacted the GM and made a complaint about every one not getting the info on time.....Was told this will change and I believe him as he was great with the Fire Inverstergation after v8

Oh I just assumed Australia Post had routed the mail via Timbuktu ... possibly an uncharitable thought, but it's so easy to blame the postie

Well there is no excuse for not seeing a postie nowdays with there new high vis flags on the back of the meep meeps.

Sorry, off topic

Hey Fire Chief,

Looks like the firies and the recovery crews had quite an eventful day yesterday! There were a number of stoppages for people crashing, stalling on the grid, etc. Not to mention car 16 down in the basin. (Whoops, I mean car 91 but on its roof )



And I missed most of it due to spending most of the day in the paddock rather than out at a flag point.
