Definition: At an RC track or a slot car racing track, the corner marshal is someone who aids drivers when their cars flip over, stall, or get stuck. The corner marshal will quickly get an RC back on the track and out of the way of oncoming traffic. If a car or truck runs out of fuel or is inoperable, the corner marshal removes the vehicle from the track.
