the meeting is still over 5 months away
the very fact that so many people want to do it is a good measure of how good a meeting it will be!
the DXR guys build an awesome track at a unique venue thats perfect* for an event like this. the meeting runs flawlessly due to the team used to run race control (basically the BRCA 8th people plus Rob Nelson) that along with Phil & his site Neo-Buggy that pulls in quality racers from all over the world ensure this meeting has very quickly become the highlight of the year! true buggy supercross!
i suppose the only way to make it more like supercross would be to use a dropgate for the start but the first corner carnage just wouldn't be worth it LOL
can you imagine 12-14 cars all hitting the first corner at the same time?
sod marshalling that!
good organisation, great track, all star cast of racers & its in the UK so we can race there! it doesn't get better than that
Phils giving everyone plenty of time to make arrangements & find out if they can attend, the foreign guys have a bit more to organise than use so it s easier for Phil to have people definitely coming rather than people letting him down a week or a day to go!
the awaiting confirmation/invite list is being added to every day so check your emails if you have registered your interest, mine was in my junk folder when i looked yesterday
so check there too!
*perfect venue.
well for those that haven't been yet its held at an agricultural college & the actual track is in the largest indoor soil hall in Europe! (yes actual soil, not loose sandy stuff like an equestrian arena!) this is pretty much a controlled environment that keeps the track surface very consistant through the whole meeting. it doesn't blow out like many dirt tracks do after a lot of traffic! tyre wear is minimum, M3's last ages!
loads of room for indoor pitting in the hangar right next door to the track.
240v sockets & screens displaying live race information will be dotted about.
very cheap accomodation in the student halls that are a short walk from the track & all have private bathroom, well shower anyway.
cheap beer at the student union bar, needs no further explanation.
i've got a semi now just thinking about it!
hopefully see some of you there
