Hi I'm keen if you still need marshalls. Prob only available for Sat tho. Is that any help? My eldest son might be interested in coming too. He's 13, would he be able to come with me? What gear do we need? Hi-vis etc..... Cheers
We need marshals to be; time keepers at the start/finish box(s), or to be in the tracks at different points checking for penalties such as excess wheel spin, trucks breaking bunting or knocking over pegs or winching penalties such as not calling to stand clear or touching live rope. The rules can be found on the 4x4challenges website. The key is being consistent in the decisions you make and that they are the same for every truck that enters your stage. At the moment we're hoping to be able to have marshals paired up so they are not alone and have them do 1 session of tracks rather then all 4 across the weekend. Once a truck has completed a stage the start/finish marshal will ask the marshals in the stage if there were any penalties and these get added to the time sheet. We're hoping to have a marshall training day/bbq so that marshals can get to know each other if theyre Auckland based. If youre keen please let us know and well put you down on the list and be in contact very soon Cheers
We are going to hold a marshall training day on the 5th July.
It will be held on private property in Auckland (there will be no 4wding on the property).
We would advise that all marshall should attend if possible.
Please make sure either Andrew or myself have your details down for marshalling, as due to this not being a spectator friendly event we will be forced to turn people away that are not on our list.
