A little note from me
My partner turbo_brick has gone to a lot of time and expense to make this meeting happen, he has been there every day this week so far taking precious time from his family. Actually no, on Monday I went up to help him too with the boys and we got home about 10pm. There are many others who have put a huge amount of effort in for weeks (also at cost to themselves) to make the track usable by 1/10th drivers for this event, including people who don't even race at all. Peter and his brother (who doesn't race) went all the way to Scotland last Friday when we came back from holiday to collect ropes for the track.
Is there any wonder people don't want to hold these events when all they get is criticism for donating their time, money and effort in making them happen? If I had my way he'd spend the time with his children and not running around like an idiot for these events to run ok, costing us a fortune in diesel (30 odd miles a day) loosing much needed sleep (he'll get about 4 hours over the weekend and be extremely grumpy with me/the kids) so other people can enjoy the weekends racing (as he won't have much time to race himself) so please for goodness sake give those involved in these events a break FFS a burger van is the last of his worries! He's downstairs sorting the computer system out as I type this. I'll probably get wrong for posting this but about time it was said, I know I am not alone wondering why people put the effort in to be slated.
MY RANT OVER (wonder how long before it gets deleted, even if it's the truth)
