When in god's name are we gonna have a proper race calendar?

The holiday planner for next year looks like it's been shot with a blunderbus and I've got no days left.


It's not the size of the dog in the fight that matters, but the size of the fight in the dog.

Talking

I suspect a fair amount of wheeling and dealing, present giving and back slapping amongst circuit owners, series organisers, race club officials, BSB teams, BTCC officials, BRDC officials etc will take place between next week and first week in the new year. New Era are going to announce new classes etc, eveyone else is being cagey. MSV only have major dates on their calender, leaving room for additional major race weekends (BTCC, BSB, trucks, bicycles, decathalons, and anything else they hire out the tamac for)

It's been interesting and entertaining to say the least on this forum, with people throwing dummies out, being cantankerous (me included) and generally melodramatic about dates etc. I have to book flights back to the Uk, so think how I feel........ So I travel a bit further than some others, north or south by 1 - 2 degrees ;-) rolleyes:

When the the dust settles, the flag will drop............then the real whinging will begin!

Note the laughter bit wink wink!

Having been a member of the club for 8 years, been a Regional Organiser for 4 of those years (including organising rideouts, pub nights and other trips), organised 5 very successful trips to the factory, been on numerous jollies with other club members (including bike launches, shop launches, a pen launch (!!), show trips, the MotoGP Winners party, SBK and MotoGP team meets) , raced in DD since the start, written numerous articles for Pronto, organised/designed/created the Club Charity Calendar for 2004 (we sold over 150 calendars and raised over £250 for charity), wrote the shopping cart system for the website, designed the logos that you're looking at on the website right now (at the top) and helped in numerous other ways through the years, I guess you could say that I'm more of a giver than a receiver?

How about you?

I'm not surprised - but they were lovely trophies though - thank you very much Gordon!

I for one hope that all the pre-season camaraderie doesn't become a "them and us" in the paddock, whenever and wherever the paddock ends up?



Mind you, it wouldn't be racing if it didn't.....
