I was a Marshall for the MSA up here in Scotland, until my back snapped and I can tell you it's pretty dangerous to stand in parts that are not marshalled. I was marshalling the day one of the top drivers in Scotland crashed and was killed, I was also marshalling when a spectator was killed in a designated 'safe' area. It is such a dangerous sport for everyone involved so although marshalls can be a right PITA we only do it to try and minimise the risk and also to keep the drivers going at full speed without the worry of a spectator being where they shouldn't be. That said, it's something else seeing these things up close, getting gravel sprayed in your face and smelling the mix of petrol and overheating brakes! I used to drive one of the course cars through a stage before the competitors and it was a buzz, felt like I was going a million miles an hour - I wasn't even doing 50 most of the time lol

Don't get me wrong I have full respect for Marshalls I was thinking of going to the isle of man tt as I am into my bikes aswell from my dad club racing been around bikes and cars my whole life so see what goes on but you know what it's like your with your mates and want a better view nothing to wrekless or distracting for driver also and like you say you don't get the buzz and spray of cars unless you go looking for a good spot... there was one corner we came across that was dangerous a car had crashed there not long before us apreantly and people wur still standing there so we moved on instantly way better experience than if we stayed were they made us stay well over crowded and 40 pound or somrthing to wach one coner all day so we thort we would go exploring and seen some awesome driving that we wudnt of otherwise

You have to pay?? That's mental, you can just walk onto the stages here. Being penned in on a boring bit of the stage can ruin a good day can't it, and to be fair some marshals are just being a jobsworth. We used to get training on crowd safety and extrication, it was pretty interesting. I used to love it, apart from the early mornings and bad weather. It was unbelievable the amount of people that would bring dogs or young babies then want to stand right next to the track or on the outside of a bend. The worst people were the media, they thought that they could stand where they wanted. They would stand behind hazard tape as if it was a lead fence lol

Looking good, you've took your time and picked up some decent components there! Only thing I can't see, apart from the obvious, is some decent sound proofing/deadening. Be a shame to do a first class install and then lose some of the sound and quality.

Spot on. Will look forward to seeing it when you are done, if you have the time and feel like it then you should do a guide with pics of the project and links to the bits. I'm sure it will be a massive help to others, they can take advantage of your research into parts etc [emoji6]
