Subject: Race organisation Author: Ian Round [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 04:54:54 07/29/02 Mon Hi everyone, me and dad (Derek) are looking into organising a Streetluge/buttboard/gravitybike event at the Scammonden hill climb course by the M62 near Huddersfield. We've walked the course (which we feel is probably too steep for stand-up nutters...sorry guys, but you're welcome to try if we get an event organised) and a figure of £200 per day has been mentioned for track hire. The main requirement now is to source approx 750 straw(preferably Barley, it's softer) bales at a realistic price. Any info would be great, especially from Chris regarding how the Aviemore bales were obtained and disposed of. Is there any merit in buying and storing bales at the begining of a race season and transporting them to each event? Does anyone know of any suitable storage? Bales currently buy/sell for around £1 each, so you can appreciate the sum of money potentially involved. Ideally we would like to run a test session at Scammonden this autumn to get some racer feedback about couse suitability and hopefully use it as a National Championship venue next year. Please, if anyone has any useful input, get in touch so we can all go racing more often and chris can have a break from all the organising. P.S. Will see you all at Traws with our NEW Full suspension 3/4 faired bike, and if any one is daft enough, can I have a go on you're luge?
