Yeah, it's very easy to just turn up at events & assume they somehow run themselves. There's always an army of dayglo jacketted volunteers working their socks off though, to make sure the rest of us have a good time. Hope it was a huge success & becomes a regular event now. Is the car one still going ahead later in the year?

Car event is still on according to the to a chap and his misses we were talking to in the 'Parry' cafe at the weekend (forgotten their names tho) who are the folk who started the Hot Rod Hayride a few years ago, and I think its them that are organising the Vintage Hot Rod event on Sat 7th Sept.
Track scheduled distance is relatively short (flying 1/4) compared to the (scheduled) flying mile of the bike event (however bike event was shortened due to weather an sand conditions)

Oh so right! I made a point of trying to thank as many of them as I could, there's soooo much work that has to go on to get events running. Many of the Pendine folk were on the sand at 06.00 both Sat & Sunday Over and above the dayglo volunteers are all the "behind the scenes" folk and related tasks. Dslam and to lesser extent, me, do a similar thing for the Sprint Section of the VMCC. ( www.vmccsprint.co.uk) We'd use up the lion's share of a Sunday for a logistical committee meeting 80 miles away. Dslam gave up his ride at our most recent event in order for it to run smoothly, AND spent a big chunk of the day before the event getting the venue organised. |

It was great to meet Hunter again after all those years. We sprinted yonks ago at Treffil (I doubt I spelt that right!) and was good to catch up with what has happened with who and all that stuff. Such a shame you missed the build deadline though mate. You now have plenty of time to build that double. I had a chat with the owner of Impulse, The 3 wheeler I rebuilt last year, and he is all for a few adaptations to make it compliant for Pendine next year. Standing on the beach looking at all the riders having so much fun was kinda depressing. As the day went on I wished I had a suitable bike to ride. Now I have  A Hillman Imp engine in a 3 wheeler. Oh yes  Supercharged. Oh yes yes yes  Game on. |
