Official Statement on yesterday's Hand Bag swinging.
Where has it been officially communicated by anyone associated with Ardent re having to pay for pitting?? Nowhere!
So why am I having to read all these negative comments and unless I read wrong an Arson threat?
A couple of teams and 1 club have asked to reserve benches so they can pit together, to which I said yes, £10 per bench to cover the hassle of printing signs, closing off the pit benches and asking people to move if they ignore the two. This we are using for beer money for the team of volunteers who are giving up their weekend to help at the event (they are not able to race due to helping out). If that club or team want to share the cost then that's up to them.
We have splashed out on 480sqm of new carpet for the event and for the rest of the Durango series and future events, so please cut us some slack for the past two Durango series layouts, one was fun and experimental the other was as good as we could do while we saved up funds.
Re- Comments about being open for practice, i'm exhausted on this subject, different layout, different jumps, some carpet will be the same as the Petit but nothing you haven't driven on before and our opening times have been posted for over a year.
Rome wasn't built in a day and a lot of you forget I have to have a day job because Ardent makes no money over and above paying the rent, gas and electrics. I will continue to run it in my own time and for as long as I am having fun and reading some of these posts I do wonder why I bloody bother. Anyhow if you don't want to come this weekend then don't, you are the ones missing out, not us or Petit.
Now take some chill pills and stop over reacting to anything that isn't posted or communicated by me or Petit.
team Pit benches can be reserved, individual spots are first come first served.
