| Bemsee Lydden Race Weekend |

My second Race weekend, hoping to do a bit better this time, though I'm sure everyone else will be thinking the same thing as well; so hoping to do better in relation to myself, rather than the other people. Of course getting past other people wouldn't hurt either  .
Doubt I'm going to be able to get extra people in for free this time either; I reckon that will only work if we are at the practice, the day before. Ie if people came in early Friday or maybe even late Thrusday.
No practice the day before for Lydden, so doubt we can do owt (short of hiding people in the van when we drive through the gates ). Seemed to work saying that you were only there for one day though.
Still, I reckon the ?12 a day is pretty good value anyway  .
So; I'm looking for two 'pit crew'.
These people need to be able to take instruction, so if they don't beyond know the basics of spannering it's not a problem.
They will have to be at our area for the start and end of each race. Lydden is very good for spectating, so it shouldn't be too much of an issue in this case. Wouldn't mind someone doing some 'chronicle' style picture taking of our area, the general race village etc; for race reports after etc. I can provide the camera.
Typical mechanicy-things I expect pit crew to do:
Swap wheels
Refuel
Put on and take off tyre warmers
Start Generator and keep it fueled
Help with unpacking and packing stuff.
Check tyre pressures
Inflate/deflate tyres to correct pressure (I have an electric tyre inflator thingy for the lazy )
The two 'chosen' will get free tickets and a free t-shirt at some point. If more than two offer help, I'll use some sort of random method to decide, or something .
Ideally I'd like them to be there for early Saturday morning; so that if there's a problem with scrutineering I can get it sorted soonish. That would probably mean staying there friday night.
Any volunteers for the pit crew?
An idea of numbers before hand for general spectating would be good as well.
I'm hoping to get there as early as possible on Friday, so I can get a decent space. I will be sleeping in the van.
I will not be organising a caravan this time. However if someone else wants to organise a caravan, I can most probably tow it there and back, give me a shout if you do.
Hopefully the weather should be a bit more 'tent' weather this time however.
I may be able to provide oil filled radiators to warm up tents, though it can't be on during the night, but will retain heat for a while. Can also take extra mattresses/bedding etc in the van if needed.
For those that don't know:
Lydden hill is a short circuit (one mile long) in deepest darkest Kent.
It offers great spectating as nintey five percent of the circuit can be viewed at once if viewed from the top of the hill.
Despite it's short nature, it still manages to fit in a very fast corner, a tight hairpin and 'Padock Hill Bend'; A medium speed corner mounted on an uphill section with a blind apex and exit.
Those that were there last time or who read the last post will know that there is full open pit access to the public at bemsee events, letting you get a really good 'feel' for the racing. |
