This week, we take a look at the top 10 signs that you will get a crappy marshall job.

We all hate slow turn marshals. And we have all been slow turn marshals by accident at some point. But there are times where you just know before the race even begins that if you crash by a particular marshall, you are gonna get screwed. Here are some signs to watch out for.

10) The turn marshall remembers watching James Stewart as a kid...but not the James Stewart who races motocross

9) The turn marshall has braces over both knees, but insists that he is still fully mobile

8) The turn marshall is filming the race on his cell phone

7) The turn marshall walks to his spot with a fuel bottle because he is pitting for his buddy in that race
6) The turn marshall abides by the no smoking rule, but busts out an e-cig instead because that is so much less distracting
5) The turn marshall is texting your girlfriend because he knows you are busy racing
4) The turn marshall is still struggling to untangle the ROAR marshall vest when the race starts

3) The turn marshall is standing 8 feet from the designated spot when everyone knows he is now blocking the line of sight

2) The turn marshall is 5 feet tall...when laying down

1) The turn marshall is not Ryan Lutz...because lets face it...he makes all other marshals look like turtles

What are some of the tell-tale signs that you have seen? Post them in the comments below!
