I know that they have 60 entries for the RBR and a waiting list.......but has anyone actually paid the full entry? Because surely until that is paid, and like all events until you are fully paid the list is open.........................
Also, the biggest problem is going to be getting the finance to run the event...
From what I have seen and know; that all though ML is the face of the event and the man working 24/7, probably not getting half the support he needs and deserves, The man who can make this come to-gether is Tim Powell, who not only is he the best man in the world for the job, he is the greatest event/race organiser since probably "Red" Crise,but he is an honourable man and a gentleman..
What worries me is that like all events inc '84 the list is full but come the day 75% fall by the wayside................ Then the very few who actually do all the dedicated work of organising an event get slagged off, stabbed in the back and generally bad mouthed by the people they are trying to put the event on for in the first place........
I see also here that as per any event of calibre the miriad of has been hangers on who want to be seen as "important" and bum a free ride crawling slimely out the wood work, Come the time to actually do any hard work will only be seen to be propping up the nearest FREE bar and stuffing their faces on a junket!!!!!!!!!!!!
ML and TP don't need this bickering but need to get rid of dead wood and for all who LOVE this sport for what it is and not because we like to think we are BIG FISH in what in reality is a very tiny pond and start supporting.
So for once ladies and gentleman support is the word..
Think back to when UKOBA was great (They are coming back thanks to Clive C and Stevie) and remember what destroyed it.................bitching and poncing a free ride and try to lord it over every one.........................
Good luck, Mike and Tim
