PLEASE NOTE - INFORMATION IS NOT INDEPENDENTLY VERIFIED AS CORRECT AND THERE MAY BE TWO SIDES TO THIS. I ALSO DON'T WANT ANY PERSONALLY OFFENSIVE DISCUSSION WHICH IS ABOVE AND BEYOND ANY DEBATE REQUIRED TO DISCUSS THE DRIVING AND ALLEDGED AFTERMATH. -- Ian
taken from Novaload, also posted on most vaux forums i think..
quote:
This post is just to inform the Vauxhall community of the actions of one of the Administrators of VXON at Castle Combe action day.
Whilst out on track in the afternoon, Mark from VXON (pic of Mark and his car attached) was overtaken spiritedly by an Escort RS turbo just before bobbies, just after the no overtaking zone. As maneuvers at Castle Combe go, this was not uncommon, nor particularly bad IMHO. Maybe a word with the marshals about it would have been warranted if he felt it was dangerous.
However, Mark decided the best course of action was to speed around the warm down lap flat out, pull up where the Escort was parked at the end of the session, get out of his car, approach the Escort and send a flurry of punches at driver before the driver had even undone his harnesses.
He didn’t wait to find out whether the driver was a young lad or a pensioner, a male or a female due to the drivers helmet still being on.
Once he was separated from the now very irate Escort driver, he then got back in his car and proceeded to wheel spin off around the paddock nearly hitting various people.
The reasons for my thread are as follows.
1. Any threads mentioning the subject on VXON are deleted, and postees promptly banned (presumably by Mark)
2. Even if someone rams into your car on a track day, you are there at your own risk, and hitting someone isn’t even a last resort.
3. This man is supposed to be the head of a car club, and setting an example. I feel VERY sorry for the members of VXON on whom he has brought so much shame, and I hope he is dealt with by the club the way someone in MY car club would be dealt with for actions as childish and neandarthillic.
I will also be writing an email to the VBOA informing them in no uncertain terms of his actions. I think it would be an insult to see him at another event after acting in this way representing a Vauxhall club.
Mark was ejected from the Circuit and banned shortly after his outburst which was the correct and proper thing to do proving that the staff and marshals at Castle Combe do take such incidents seriously and perform the correct actions.

this just got posted on novaload by one of the admin on VXoN...
unsure what to make of the whole thing, who telling the truth etc etc etc
[QUOTE=PVO_Dave]Hi,
I've just had this thread sent to me by Dougie, I'm the actual Admin from VxON so I thought I had better come online and set some stuff straight.
First off, Mark is club staff not an Admin at VxON
Second, Mark didn't get ejected from Combe the old man who punched him several times and tried to headbutt him did.
From what I understand Mark did give the guy a shove, but thats it. He had a word with him because this guy undertook him in a no overtaking zone in a dangerous fashion (and had done so to several other people during the day, including several VxON members) the guy then flipped out threw punches and kicks whilst Mark stood there not hitting back, they were then seperated and the old guy then came over to the VxON stand to kick off again.
If any of thats not factual I am more than happy to be proved wrong, but please don't take the first post to be the truth
The only people who have signed up and been banned for talking are people coming in to stir up ****!
Mark apparantly has the incident on video too.
I'll be back online later to check for any replies.
Thanks,
Dave.[/QUOTE]

Typical shit slow driver, getting upset when people go past.
Perhaps if they just let the people past down the straights who are blatently quicker, than people won't have to take risks in the braking zones to get past.
Fat stupid Fucking knobber.
