CART AT Brands

Stuart Hill · 22 Apr 2003, 21:56 (Ref:577313)

OK, it's nearly here........
and we're all looking forward to it.........but.....

who's going............and

does anyone have any advice for a first time camper at Brands????? ie, nearest store/off license etc? showers?

any info is good info plus............

rumour had it that a ten-tenths "get-together" was possibly being planned. Harry would love to be part of it along with his minders. (Mr and Mrs Crazystu)

if we're going to do it, then let's make it big !!!!!

My best advice, bring EVERYTHING you need for the weekend with you. By the time you follow >90,000 people off the circuit the local shops will not only be closed but probably have decayed away.

Kent Plod are directing traffic out of the circuit so it may take a while. Wet wipes and beer will be better than the Q for the showers, by the time you get there it will be time to sign on again.

Still you should enjoy it, but I'm off to Snetterton with BEMSEE, proper racing!!!

If the fence starts creaking... Run like hell!

I'm not marshalling, but will be there, luckily for me its close enough to go home everynight!

Would be good for all of us that are gonna be ther go get together...put faces to names and all that!

Hope to see u there!

I'll be there all three days. If you are camping bring the lot, wet weather gear, plenty of warm clothes and the sun cream. At the moment the forecast is for good weather but the next week looks full of rain so the campsite could be a little boggy. I think Sunday night has been mentioned as a good one for a get together for we Ten-Tenthers. Let me know where and when ok?

Steve Tarrant · 23 Apr 2003, 08:08 (Ref:577723)

And Jackie and I will be there for the three days too, but not camping (wheelchairs and long grass/mud don't go well together).

Hope the 10/tenths get-together comes off, be good to put faces to names/monikers.

Wasn't there a thread about having a meet-up. What happened to it? BTW, does anyone know when tickets, instructions etc are going out?

**Stephen Green** · 23 Apr 2003, 08:45 (Ref:577753)

I would imagine we will receive them later this week. It's normally around a week beforehand.

Mark Mitchell · 23 Apr 2003, 12:39 (Ref:577956)

I too have decided against marshalling this event!
Must tell BARC!
I'm off to Combe instead - always a great day!!

EvilPumpkin · 23 Apr 2003, 12:58 (Ref:578003)

Well the Irish contingent are coming over to play

**Stephen Green** · 23 Apr 2003, 13:02 (Ref:578010)

Oh lord...Get me the Kentagon manager...order more Guinness I hear her shout

Steve Tarrant · 23 Apr 2003, 13:17 (Ref:578021)

You mean there is some left to export after the events of last weekend? A certain race director didn't make it back to his office for the following day because of it, I've been reliably informed ................... and he wasn't on his own!!!!

EvilPumpkin · 23 Apr 2003, 13:58 (Ref:578049)

Stephen you insult me - like I'd drink English Guinness - foul stuff! I'm bringing some with me though

Cynic · 23 Apr 2003, 14:53 (Ref:578115)

You drink Guiness? I thought you had to chew it!

Don't worry, they don't sell Guinness in the Kentagon - the closest you'll get is Beamish!

Thats not even close!!

I will be there all three days but will be enjoying the luxuries of a travelodge

**Woolley** · 23 Apr 2003, 20:58 (Ref:578596)

All three days for me, too. Arriving Friday with caravan, leaving Tuesday. Saturday night seems good bet for get-together of some kind. I'm trying to arrange a suitable 10-10ths poster for the caravan window, and there may be a skull and crossbones flying from the awning. If you see it, stop by and say "Aah, Jim Lad" and bring a beer!

That sounds like the sort of quote you'd get from Midland Rescue !!

Stuart Hill · 23 Apr 2003, 21:58 (Ref:578688)

New rules in force at Brands

could be interesting !!

A foul slur Crazystu but one that is unfortunately true. What is the story that there will be Beamish available?...much as I like the odd drop of Liffey water there is always the attraction to a drop of the stuff produced by Beamish & Crawford of Cork City...If you can steal any I will pay many euro`s for the privelege...but then if you can get any Guinness nicked from the Hi B in Oliver Plunkett street then I will take that just as quick...sod it now i`m salivating....have a good time you swines!!

As if there will be any left for you??? don't forget, our party is not intending to leave until the Tuesday so we've got plenty of drinking time!! HaHa !!

EvilPumpkin · 24 Apr 2003, 07:56 (Ref:579115)

Sorry, I'm not allowed to talk to strange rescue crews or give them beer...........
