Yep, just use the old number and put 'expired' after it.

Question

I take it its not full for us people who just want to spectate?

I'm hopeing to get some friends to come with me to watch the action.

£70 entry (for charity) not a problem, I just dont want to come along and not get in because its full.

Sorry George, I know you have been pounded with questions, but I would really like to be their, but I don't want to track my car. And I have many friends who would like to come too. So, if the track list is full, can us bottle boys still get in to watch?

Thats an idea, wanted to go on the track but if the track is full can we still pay and spectate?

I'm really sorry but the Insurers want another £5000 for a spectator event so we just can't afford it. Also we have to security check all who come on camp and the insurers will want a copy to make sure we don't let too many people in.

Again sorry but it really just a track event and is not set up for spectators.

I would try and jump in with another driver or wait for some more places to come up in the next few weeks and pay to drive but not go on track.

Thanks for the interest though.

George

A motor bike helmet will be fine. Most do use bike lids

Humph!... Everytime I'm without internet for a few days I miss out on something.... This time I was moving house.

Can you put me down for any spare places or cancelations if they come up. I don't fancy a passenger ride in a gaytronic....LOL

If a place comes up send me a PM, or even better I'll PM you my phone number, then you can Text me... Pennies are waiting.

Just beware. Full face helmets and airbags are not a good idea. Open faced helmets are safer.

Oh, and what type of extinguisher? Powder, Foam, CO2?
