I bet you were popular with the marshalls and other fans that day! Doesn't sound like there was much harm done though, always good when you can look back and laugh!

We were mortified!
 Marshals would not let us onto the road to help, and they did not have enough shovels. I thought one marshal who was a bit on the round size was going to have a heart attack the speed he was shoveling, and how red his face was. I genuinely thought we were going to get arrested, my mate who is local was panicking, he thought he was going to get the sack from work because of it as he was a Fireman. 
Funny to look back on, but not at the time.
