Chris Abel Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 It is a friendly forum but you know how it is. Someone starts a spitting contest and spectators and opponents come out of the woodworkNo it's no code, as Chris is from Norfolk that makes him a Norfolk boody as in Bernard Mathews hense the Bird Flu Hense the a ya got a lite bouy from the ovaltine lite add. Easy really just a bit of harmless banter but I don't think it was taken that way but hey I'm still smiling No harm done mate, we all do it!

B) With regards to the challenge event i am hoping to put in a late entry due to time issues. I know it will be a great event as my experience of all the people involved has always been good as they are a very supportive bunch and without them i probably would never have entered any events but would have remained an armchair critic.

Adrian Turner Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 Well i picked up/was given.... ''thanks Lee'' one of the event program's at the billing show on sunday. All i've got to say is.... don't believe a word that's been printed about myself and pigster, we are a very quite well mannered, well oil'd/slick team, who never have a bad word to say to each other.......raise our voice's....... us never!

FridgeFreezer Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 £200 is a lot for a standard weekend of mud plugging but doesn't seem excessive, especially as this seems to be part of a wider European series - if you can afford to drive round Europe competing you can afford £200 to enter. If you don't like the price, don't enter, there are plenty of other events about. It's funny, some people will bitch about £200 entry fee but boast about blowing up hundreds of pounds worth of drivetrain components in a morning as some sort of proof of their extreme credentials The facilities sound good, the organisation sounds like the way forward - spectators being thought about for once which could actually help bring these events into the realm of other forms of motorsport. Whether that's a good thing or not is open to debate and careful guidance by organisers, but pushing the sport forwards has got to be worth a try (and god nows anything's more exciting than F1 these days), spectators make sponsors happy, sponsors make better events possible, better events mean more spectators/interest... How the ca$h prize affects sportsmanship remains to be seen, I would hope people would be big enough to still help each other out if needed. If this takes off then I hope the events are organised in such a way that the "little guys" aren't priced out, currently off-roading benefits from being one of the easiest and cheapest forms of motorsport to get into and I would hate to see people priced out by big boys chasing big prize money. Yes the main sponsor sucks, but if they're putting money into an event surely the cash is better off there than laying in their bank account or buying yet more f***ing advertising space in LRO. Don't eat their burgers if you object. It would be nice to have the option to compete without their stickers all over your truck though - you can do this at Ladoga it just costs more to enter without the sponsorship, which also makes people aware of just how much they're being subsidised.

Zed0 Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 I have never organized an event but I do know that very few things are free in this life. I am maybe being 2 faced but I would rather have an unpopular sponsor and be able to hold an event than not have it. Relying on volunteers is a risky way to ensure safety on site and provide services we all like to see (and use ). £200 is a lot of money but maybe it is not supposed to be your weekend "playday".... ? Site looks good; £10 for spectators is bit steep (could a burger be included in the price? ).... maybe this is the so called “neccessery evil"????

Seriously Lewis you can get a full refund before 1st Sept, just speak to the people you paid :ph34r: Theres no axles, no steering, no suspension, no brakes, 23 inches missing from the front of the chassis, no wiring loom, no recovery kit, no bodywork, - the only functional system on the car is the winches In the past I would have thought "yeah no problem" but with the experience gained from getting Andrews car built I now can say for sure that there is more work than 5 weekends and 1 week can give me. I'll make my final decision on the 31st of August but its not looking good I really shouldnt have taken the car apart again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
