So it's officially on again next year then Tony?
I hope so! I'm not a 'facebook' person so could only view a small amount of info, but this seems the better place to get info, and it would suggest it's hoped to run again in 2014. If you're a F/ B person, maybe you can have a detailed read through........?? Introduced myself (and Dslam) to PJ at last year's show and had a good 10 minute chat, as the PLRC had a couple of bikes on a display/stand. 2013's show is Dec 7th, and according to F/B they'll have a stand/display again this year so I'm hoping to have a chat this Dec. |

There's hardly anything on the Facebook page, certainly nothing about next year.

It seems there's more there than there is on the website.

What there is on FB, now that I've found the right page, is the email address that's missing from the website! I've emailed to ask about next year, but if you want to do the same it's pendinelrc@gmail.com  |

Talking of things looking epic............. For the 2013 bike event during the 'riders meeting' we were instructed to familiarise ourselves with the course by riding it behind the marshal's vehicle. As my bike was up in the paddock, I and about 4 or so others, clung on the marshall's vehicle which meant we were at the front, so as we headed up the sand, we had a spectacular view of all the bikes (except ours) making their way along the famous sand behind us for the first speed event in many many years, a sight and half indeedy!!! Thinking about it, that was a view that only a handful of us would have seen - don't think I'll forget that in a hurry! |

Went to Kempton yesterday and managed to bump into the guys who we were chatting to at the Pendine (PLRC) motorcycle event in June from Baron's, Pete Allan & Dick Smith. They'd recently come back from Bonneville after running the "Epsom Salt" bike (pretty apt name as Baron's is in Croydon and is only about 10 miles Epsom). Some intersting tales indeed........... The Epsom Salts bike-build and Bonneville expoits are currently being featured in Classic Bike Guide for those that are interested. (last issue, current issue (Aug 2013) and next issue). The bike features a modified 650cc pre-unit Triumph. This is a differnet bike to the one they ran at Pendine, as the PLRC entry was their own-build very pretty 500cc Triumph powered drag-bike, but with treaded tyres. http://www.baronspeedshop.com/previous-builds/triumph-t100-sprint-bike/http://www.baronspeedshop.com/http://epsomsalt.blogspot.co.uk/ |

The PLRC mid-September newsletter has just been sent out, so I'm guessing (as a non-facebook person), that it may be visible there at some stage?? or maybe its a matter of becoming a member / friend of the club ? Not sure.... https://www.facebook.com/pages/Pendine-Landspeed-Racing-Club/166621133481919?fref=tshttp://www.pendinelrc.com/news/The club are on the lookout for marshalls and has stated: We are always looking for marhsalls so if you have friends that wish to join in please get them to send an email to us marked marshalls or even better come and say hello at Kempton Park.Kempton Park show is Saturday 7th Dec http://www.egp-enterprises.co.uk/calendar.html |

Bought a copy of Classic Bike Guide today (number 270 October 2013) hoping to see some more about 'Epsom Salt' at Bonneville, but alas, not in this issue, however the magazine, when bought at WH Smith or Sainsburys, comes with a free copy of September's 'Motorcycle Monthly' (a newspaper), and it features a two-page Pendine 2013 article, with particular mention to a Purple Panther!! |
