thats just a day in the lanes for most of us lol
I wouldn't want to be in a Nova if it was going to do a nose dive like that, I'd be surprised if things didn't bend to buggery.
i always give it some revs when i get to the take off point, it helps the front stay up...

Will do mate, marshalled two stages (one run twice) in 2009 and spectated on another. Missed it last year :( but should be going up Thursday to Sunday this year... make a proper weekend of it :d
last time i went was a good few years back, Kris meeke in a works S1600 corsa C etc, with live camera feedback to the service park played on big screens lol

We got a decent marshalling spot last time... coming over a crest (top cars were getting air) down into a tight 90 round a bale, then long straight to watch them down. The couple in the house next to the junction provided us with tea and biscuits lol will find out what stage we are on this year asap :thumb:
