for belle vue, it's the kids who we need to be aware off. rather than cars being nicked professionally, it is the damage from mutilation to our cars
/stripping things/breaking in which is the main concern.

i'm not saying that pros wouldn't be there but if we stressed that this is a major concern, i'm sure security at the stadium could be arranged.

hopefully, none of these scums will spoil the evening.

 

Told you all where to park
Go to denton, just off the junction there, there is a travel inn, its off road so they cannot see your cars, there is a pub/restaurant there its around 42 quid per night and its nice and safe

Tony

 

BTT for more exposure

 

Right then, a quick update on security issues.

The organisers did say we could park within the CCTV cover and offered to increase security near the cars.

But given the level of concern and my own wish to minimise risk,it has been agreed that the Charity Cars will use the "overflow pits".

I gather this is a floodlit gated section of the car park.

Competitors vehicles will be parked adjacent to their "race cars"??? and the Scoobs will be corralled alongside this area.

This means that:
Spaces can be reserved for people attending
For most of the evening members of our group will be near the parked cars.
For the narcissists amongst us there will be a nice display of Scoobs in the car park

BTW thanks for the offers of help I WILL be in touch soon.

If I am in the ladies team will I get the chance to erm, *meet* with the firemen??? Or can I join the firemen's team and play with the big boys

I don't remember being asked at the Wales trip sorry

 

Chell, I don't recommend you play with the big boys this time. They may be a little rough, even for you and Amanda

The Formula One Stock Car drivers, including the recently crowned world champion, have decided to join the charity bandwaggon.

With no chance of being excluded/losing championship points and a rule book comprising about three paragraphs they are liable to be looking to settle old scores.

Running fully fledged reinforced and welded cars equipped with steam tanks (i.e no radiators)it's a place for the plain crazy!

Oh, there again perhaps I can get you a car



No need to worry about drink induced amnesia this time dear. No one asked, you were voulunteered by Mr S

 

Even if we couldn't, I am sure we would have fun trying

Are you trying to now say that I have an ounce of sanity in me???


You know it will be amusing watching me

 

Wahey

Chelle, glad to have you as well as Heather of course

Banshi, No man is rough enough for me

Should be a great laugh, and for good causes too

Thanks for putting all this time in Banshi, give us a shout if you need any more help

Amanda

 

Does this mean I am actually in the team?

If so then WAHAY Here we go, here we go, here we go

Bump to the top

 

banshi

please mail me if you need any help. i'm only a couple of hundred yards away from the venue.

 

SO can we come and spectate then

 

I should imagine there will be no problem with spectating......

 

BK to say I'll be absolutely desperate for help during the coming week is an understatement.
So as soon as I have times and locations sorted you and anyone else silly enough to offer will get mail.

Andy Spectators, spannermen, sledge hammer swingers, supporters all welcome

BTW Chell aren’t you bringing your little gang of Mindless Midlanders along as personal Cheerleaders. After all there’s A Little Chief AND a Macdonalds nearby

Just a general update for those I’ve not yet spoken to. I went off to Spain knowing it wasn’t an ideal time to disappear but things were 90% sorted so no real problem as the promoters and charity would maintain momentum.

Without getting into a Felstedian rant, I tend to believe people will generally do what they promise, big mistake on this occasion. There was two weeks stagnation and to complicate things further the MD of the local car supermarket overruled a decision to donate cars!

So lots of things to put together in the last couple of days including sourcing a dozen old wrecks (sorry a range of vehicles suited to circuit racing and in a state of tune appropriate for use in this type of motorsport) Consequently the cars may not be perfectly matched and it will be a case of pot luck regarding size cc etc.
I’m sure you will understand if amongst the Escorts and Fiestas I happen to be behind the wheel of a V8 Buick.

Anyway despite the logistical problems the show will go on. This is essentially a cheap and cheerful form of motorsport. My emphasis is on the former, I hope yours will be on the latter.

Drivers, be aware you will be not be climbing into a fully prepped rally car. The cars will start (with a little persuasion) and I’ll try to ensure not too much tarmac is visible through the floorpan. Brakes of course remain an optional extra

As far a I am aware no one, with the exception of Mr “Been there done it bought the Tee Shirt so long ago it doesn’t fit” Felstead, has done this before. So it will be “nudge and spin” racing not the usual move the rear bumper to closest proximity to the drivers seat. Radiators will be retained and mounted in their normal position to encourage restraint/dissipate red mist.

Race format will comprise two heats and a final.

Including enquiries on this thread, we have eighteen listed drivers. At present not all of them have cars, significant amounts of folding/sponsorship will of course influence allocation

Sorry guys a slight dispute over fundraising strategy means we have to make our own entertainment. But we get our own little Subaru section in the Grandstand and can gaze with disdain upon the masses.

So we need more sponsorship?

How about everyone chipping in for me - I am sure there are lots of people who would love to see Little Miss WRX bashed up in an old banger so to speak

BTW, I am more than happy to help out - drop me a mail

 

I'll be there then ... no doubt with a few Mates.

Maybe even bring Rob Speak 2001 World Champ

 

I fancy coming along, to support the ladies team!

ScooBabe, any chance of a lift?

Oh, & I'll sponsor you 'chelle

[Edited by CharlieWhiskey - 9/25/2002 5:33:40 PM]

 

Bloody name dropper

Yep get some £ in, I want to see three figures at the bottom of those sponsor sheets and preferably before the decimal point Chelle

Or even rear ended by a fireman

 

That option is even better WOOHOO

banshi, could you do the honour of explaining thigs simply in my thread here please?

 

Don't just disappear into the ether

 

Lacivious behaviour at your barbie? Are you talking to me or Chelle Banshi

CW if you want a lift I want some sponsorhip from you as well!

Freeloaders

Looks like Garry wont be able to come, he is doing a snow boarding instructors course (Honestly, I dont deliberately keep him at home!! ) Looks like I'll have to get some moral support from elsewhere

Hey, just got back from work and from pub and got some juicy sponsorship already. Wahey. And Im useless at asking for money from people.

If anyone else wants to sponsor me........... ah well worth a try

Amanda

 

Disapear?
You should be so lucky!

Amanada If your so concerned about asking for money, just switch the light back on and pretend they're clients


[Edited by banshi - 9/26/2002 12:13:15 AM]

 

Both

Plus another, unless memory decieves.

 

Never

 

Banshi .... ya rascal

Don't think I can have been at the barbie in question

So I guess it must have been you, Chelle and another woman

Can you send me more details re sponsorship please asap so I can look a little legit when I am grovelling
I am only working 2 days between now and then, so need to snare a few soon. Do you have any forms?

Cheers, Amanda

 

Banshi,

Could do with some forms also please

Check out my thread too, caz says that his the company he works for will double the total money that one person raises

(Edited to give correct detail )

[Edited by Little Miss WRX - 9/26/2002 10:57:21 AM]

 

Maximum claim is £680 per individual event. Only funds raised as a result of your personal effort will be matched. Sure I can sort this out for you.

 

Ah okay, so looks like I have a mission now

Raise more than anyone else (caz can you be my right hand man please??? )
