No marquee at Cadwell
 
Due to the fact that only 12 people agrred to the marquee im afraid its a non starter.
It would have been nice to have it at Cadwell to show what it would have meant to the series,i had even got to the stage of talking to potential sponsers to provide one at all uk rounds next year,(there may of been a chance of getting it paid for at Cadwell,but as another club member said "why give yourself the hassle").
Iguess most competitors are happy doing there own thing.

Thanks for trying Grahame. It was definitely worth a stab and we now know how much it'll cost if we want to get one together next year.

Cheers,

Ali

Thanks for that Ali, just a little miffed at the lack of support,now turns out i could get it paid for at Cadwell with the posibility of having it at all next years rounds (if it worked ok at cadwell) at no cost to the competetors.
I had a vision of an R6 cup type setup,thought it would really raise the profile of the series and give a great atmospher foe the DD ers.

I'll be bringing my 12x12 marquee up in case it rains, so maybe we should just try and park together.

I doubt I'll have that now dude, I'm coming up with Louigi in his van, and I dunno what he's bringing.

I have a whopper of a 'party tent' that DSC/DD can borrow. Three people can put it up in 30 mins. I think it's 4m x 8m

Welcome to borrow it if it helps.

Ya bloomin poof!!!!

I put mine up all on my own at Pembrey... only took about two hours and I needed a lie down after...


...after I put my 12 man tent up - which took another two hours :lol:

Monty 30-Sep-2005 09:58

First time we ever put it up was at Pembrey Dom-it was midnight, pitch black, ****ing down, and blowing half a gale-lots of fun-NOT!

We couldnt afford to commit to go in, for 2 bikes this time - just after hols etc, as nicely explained to Butch (and understood) when he u2u'd me the day before we went on hols. The cost worked out the same as the fuel for the van to get to & from Cadwell:(

another time - with time to save first - for us.

I remember it well, all day Friday had been dry at the circuit then Monty and WJB dragged the rain along with them for the weekends racing.

WeeJohnyB 30-Sep-2005 15:12

oi, Skids:lol:

thanks Monty and Skids for reminding me of the nightmare that was Pembrey, woke up in Monty's top of the range tent in a puddle, rained non top, carvans going over in the wind, freezing cold and crashed twice....

....hence we bought the 'Loveshack II', our delightfully warm and dry comfy caravan
