DMN 2008 - drivers, cars, regs?

Jamie G · 16 Nov 2007, 18:45 (Ref:2069073)

Well I thought I'd start a new thread for this

So who's planning what? Who's coming out in what, and what's going on?

chezza · 16 Nov 2007, 18:51 (Ref:2069079)

Well I wondered how long it was going to take for this to come up.

So who's doing what?

jonbryant · 16 Nov 2007, 20:55 (Ref:2069173)

I'm taking photos and sponsoring cars. So... err... that will be the same as '07 then.

Looking forward to it already. If anyone is going testing over the winter (and I don't mean at Pembrey or something) then let me know and I'll possibly come along to keep my photography skills going. Or learn some actually.

On a separate note I'll start the publicising of the '07 Official BARC SE and DMN calendar now... Coming soon so watch this space!

Jon will you be bringing calenders to the dinner dance (getting bladdered and staggering meeting)?..

TIMELORD · 16 Nov 2007, 21:43 (Ref:2069196)

Are there any plans for a dedicated DMN website? I know that Rod Birley's is a good source of information, but it would be great to have information about everyone in one place. There are a lot of interesting machines on the grid in DMN, and it would be nice for the spectators to know a little more about the cars (and their drivers).

If the fans can put faces to names, and also get to know a little about the competitor's backgrounds, I'm sure that the series will be able to build on the fan base that I'm sure it has already (it certainly won a lot fans at the Brands Truck meeting).

Hopefully this thread will keep going through the winter. It can be the DMN's equivalent of Reuters !!!

jonbryant · 16 Nov 2007, 21:46 (Ref:2069198)

Yes Woody, they'll be coming along to the D&D. I'm staying over too aswell as Mrs Jon so should be fun! Hotel booked today. Looking forward to actually taking the time to talk to you guys.

I'll be willing to do some work on a website. I designed all mine so can help.

bdwoody · 16 Nov 2007, 21:54 (Ref:2069205)

Photographers are notorious lightweights

Well, I am

bdwoody · 16 Nov 2007, 22:29 (Ref:2069223)

Now the rain light thing,i have been following this on the other thread but am still no clearer could graham clear this up .i have 2 fog lights in the boot lid and 1 long brake light in the middle of the boot,do i now have to fit a 45 quid light as well ?

ScoopJumps · 17 Nov 2007, 09:59 (Ref:2069432)

Hey,

I will be a new competitor and recently bought an Alfa 33 (formerly ARCA class D)
It is my intention to enter this championship and see how I get on. I can't believe how much some of the other championships want in entry fees. Its ridiculous.

Here's hoping DMN stays competitively priced and with nice evenly spaced rounds in 2008! If so, I'll see you guys in 2008. Just need to finish some wiring and I'm ready to go

Sam

jonbryant · 17 Nov 2007, 10:20 (Ref:2069440)

Welcome to Tenths Sam. And more importantly welcome to the DMN championship. I'm only a photographer but the important people will say hello shortly!

JB

ScoopJumps · 17 Nov 2007, 10:41 (Ref:2069454)

Thanks mate, I know one or two already from the real world when I used to help a driver in the SEMSEC Sports & Saloons Championship.

To everyone: Don't do too much work to your car this winter, I want someone to race against at the back next year!

mig · 17 Nov 2007, 16:06 (Ref:2069605)

Hiya Sam hows the wiring going have you had any fires yet you will enjoy going round in circles much more that that parachuteing nonsence.Gis a shout if you need any help.

STEVED · 17 Nov 2007, 16:11 (Ref:2069606)

I'll be in the DMN next year in the class B Golf

ScoopJumps · 17 Nov 2007, 16:44 (Ref:2069624)

Cheers Lee.

Some of my stuff turned up so I been prepping some components ready for fitting. No fires yet! I may have to call on you at some point. I think the alternator/starter thing is going to confuse me a little bit. Yes... I am going to run an alternator! I know I know.

jaysalv · 17 Nov 2007, 17:49 (Ref:2069667)

well the plan for me when i was given a mk2 golf from the late barry barnes was to get it ready for the track and hopefully the dmn but sadly its got to find a new home i did not think my website would take off as well as it has and i just aint got the time to carry on with the golf plus mrs jaysalv has other plans for the money

so i will carry on being a spectator and a trainee snappy for you lot next year .

this year was brilliant to watch and i only managed to miss 2 rounds so im really looking forward to next year ..

anyone interested in the golf give me a yell its totally stripped and is a running 1.8 8v

chezza · 17 Nov 2007, 21:10 (Ref:2069779)

Evening chaps and chapesses, its your friendly entries sec here (for those that don't know me).

Welcome to the championship Sam and any one else looking to enter.

Timelord - the BARC South East Centre website (the club that runs DMN) has a section on the website that we are hoping to develop over the off season and also next season and car/driver profiles are one of the things on the list.

So watch out you guy's we'll be after your information and if you don't supply it we'll make it up.

jonbryant · 17 Nov 2007, 21:25 (Ref:2069789)

And I'll be pouncing on you to take the profile pictures (probably). So have a shave and brush your teeth. You too gents.

chezza · 17 Nov 2007, 21:27 (Ref:2069792)

Presumptious, but I was going to ask nicely

So clean and presentable please peeps and polish those cars as I will be sending Jon round to take the mugshots.

jonbryant · 17 Nov 2007, 22:27 (Ref:2069830)

I figured I might be asked so offered first

I've never seen you lot clean and presentable. Grubby and covered in oil... yes.

We'll be including the esteemed entries sec I assume Chez?

chezza · 17 Nov 2007, 22:46 (Ref:2069839)

I suppose we should include mug shots of all the committee.

graham bahr · 18 Nov 2007, 10:36 (Ref:2070050)

work permitting i should be back, same car, new wheels, new rubber maybe even new paint and a few new other bits too, so it should be good if only i had a new driver aswell................

carrera · 18 Nov 2007, 16:36 (Ref:2070248)

Will probably do a DMN or Tin Top race sometime during the season; probably in something originating from France.

jonbryant · 18 Nov 2007, 19:06 (Ref:2070339)

Just another quick plug for the Official BARC SEC 2008 calendar. The layout has been discussed and photos picked today and looks like it should be superb.

Keep your eyes out for the release date. And reserve your copies now with... err... Rod?
