DMN 2008 - drivers, cars, regs?
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? |

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! |

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 !!! |

Last time we did that 2 guys from Fostek Axles looked rather wobbly at the end of the night and looked even worse in the morning .. Tom from Fostek dosnt call us 'shandy drinking poofters' no more But the real reason we shouldnt start on that is ..... it will be a few months past the last race, and i'm sure having races round the dining area on sweet trollies won't go down too well John will be wanting to have the biggest bloke in the room pushing him (the V8) and Andy will be have 20 blokes pushing him (the biggest crew ) .. while you quietly pedal your way past as the other two end up in a heap with Andy sticking his arm out the pile bodies with the camera held high saying " i got it on film !!!" Greg and Martin meantime will still be at the startline saying ... "no its your turn to drive" "surely its yours" "no i drove this one last time" "shall we just buy some more cars?" "why we have 20 allready" "yes but who is going to drive this one" On a serious note (if the DMN can ever be serious outside the racing) I look forward to next year, the cars are getting better and better, the mix getting more and more (highlighted by Jons pic of Gemma and Greg nose to tail) and the racing getting even more exciting ..... summed up at the last round by a Legends mechanic .. " %$£$% me, thats of the best *&£$^T& racing i've &&^%$^ seen ever" And as the title includes ' Regs ' ... heres my regulation ....... Keep doing what your doing and may the best Escort* win * the yellow one |

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 Last edited by ScoopJumps; 17 Nov 2007 at 10:06. |

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! |

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. |

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 |

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. |
