shame no one had the "fire" on film, i was a hero getting it off the track and risking life, limb and a smelly shirt in the process........ lipo fires really are smelly! althou, seems to be mostly smoke.......

Race it, rub it, crash it, then burn it out! lol.............:)

Dudders 23-11-2011 09:48 PM

No offence but that race should have been stopped, very dangerous for the marshals

TARTMAN 24-11-2011 08:58 AM

yes
 
I agree to a point, the smoke was bad, but it was really just smoke. we survived.
but a restart would have been better.... as I think a few drivers stopped and a few carried on so kind of messed up the race. ho hum....:confused:

I have some very important news regarding the tyre choices for the MK GP to be help next month. After some extensive testing recently at various indoor race tracks locally around MK Racing, we the organisers have decided the Fastrax Turf Ripper tyre are NOT suitable for competitive indoor racing on the surfaces we are providing. Therefore the tyre will be dropped and there will not be a control tyre. ANY widely commercially available tyre can be used.

We realise this situation is far from ideal and its been a very difficult decision to make. However we see the meeting being a success based on this change of rules rather than people have undriveable and inconsistent cars. We’d rather take the flack and moaning now and have a really good, hard and fast competitive race meeting than have a numerous complaints on the day and unhappy racers.

We have decided to reduce the entry fee for this event based on the above information. The new entry price will be £12.00 per class. To give 200+ drivers a refund via PayPal will personally take me days to manually send through so we are proposing the following scheme. When you book in on the day you will be given £3 in cash as your refund, this will come from a pre allocated amount of money (£3 x entered drivers). Should any monies be left over from this pot the remainder will be split between two charities, HELP for HEROES and CHILDREN in NEED. I hope that maybe many of you can still the see the benefit of this meeting at £15.00 and will waive the refund to charity. Saying that, times are hard for all at present and if people want the £3 there will be no issues! (in the interests of clarity, a receipt will be posted up on o0ple stating the charitable donation in the week after the event)

I’m sure they’ll be lots of posts and I’ll do my best to give frank and honest answers but please remember that this has not been an easy decision by us but we do feel it needed to be done. I will be emailing all drivers as well, but in case of missing mails, please spread the word.

MKGP Crew


What happened to the refund / charity donation for the £3?

stumpiey 19-12-2011 06:04 PM

would be good to get some clarification


Dudders 19-12-2011 07:12 PM

All

I have the charity pot. I've not had time to divvy it up yet to the chosen charities.

As mentioned when this is done I will let your all know :thumbsup:

TARTMAN 19-12-2011 07:37 PM

MOvember
 
I know a few people wanted to donate the £3 to my Movember fundraising fund, its still live so can be donated to.........
Might be a bit late thou as i understand you have charities already in mind......:eh?:

Hmm just realised i never got the proposed refund!!!! I forgot all about his till now!!:thumbdown:

Dudders 20-12-2011 10:48 AM

£3's were in supy all weekend and given out to the only person that asked for it at booking in. Assume you didnt Neil?

I'll try and get this done before Xmas so people don't think I've done a runner with the Christmas Hamper!!

RudeTony 20-12-2011 11:14 AM

Can you confirm you dealt and are dealing with the MK GP financials as people are worried with the obvious closure of the shop.

Yea that didn't cross my mind.

Ok I have been in control of all finances and can say that everyone has been paid in full and I personally have the money for the charities. So all paid and everything else secure.

Hope that clears it all up :thumbsup:

Hi Neil,

TBH i did not ask for any refund! I forget all about it. I was not worried about the £6.00
Its just that i re-read what you said previous that we would be refunded and any overs would go to charity!!! That surprised me as i would have thought it would have offered at the meeting and the charity done and announced by now, also with the shop doing a runner alarm bells was starting to ring as to who had the money.

So thanks for clarifying this and please let us know how much and to whom the donation is made.

mikeyscott 20-12-2011 12:02 PM

Please donate my £6 to help the heros :thumbsup:

I would of like Macmillan Cancer, but that's not on your list.
