Here's part of my old website (that I stopped updating in 2007)

http://www.streetlymotorclub.co.uk/one/index.htm

It's mostly about radio marshalling on stage rallies (cars), but should give you a few ideas

You'll find a number of useful links in there as well.

Oh, rule number 1 - Your safety comes first (don't become part of the problem).

Another good peice of advice I was given when an incident appears in front of you is to SEA - Stop, Evaluate, Act.

You could also try the British Motorsports Marshalling Club, who are offering free trial days at various venues around the country, however I think they are rapidly filling up due to the publicity gained from the BBC coverage of the British Grand Prix where they did a section on it. :)
