| Go Star Racing at the
Cadwell British Superbike races 2004
Gavin,
Kieran, Tom and myself (Chris M) went off to Cadwell Park to the BSB
round by kind invitation of John & Sarah / Suzuki to help promote Go
Star Racing Motorcycle Club, its sponsors and the Mini twin race series.
We went up on Saturday to get set up in the Suzuki
village, with practice and qualifying on the Sunday, racing on the bank
holiday Monday.
We
took with us this time some clear plastic bags this time to hand out
with info on our club, sponsors etc and some stickers. We handed out
approx 250 of these “goody bags” to potential members and sponsors. It
was a good fun weekend and we were kept busy all the time. Had a few
beers in the evening to wind down.
The next round we have been invited to is at Donington
on the 18th & 19th September. It’s the last round of the BSB for 2004 so
we are bound to have a few beers to many on Saturday night so why not
come and join us, it promises to be a good weekend !!
Special thanks to:
- SDC performance
- HTC tool company
- Junction 25 M/Cycle breakers
- Tim Jones (Minitwins)
Who helped sponsor the event financially (saved us
using all of our money !!) and Chris Pippard for all the GSR literature.
It
was well good at Cadwell warm on and off at night very cold though! me,
dad, Chris n tom (in the back with the 2 bikes haha). went up in the van
on Saturday and got to Cadwell at around 6-ish i think after a few
dickheads not letting us in saying things like our tent will get ripped
down n they will kick us out of the circuit we finally decided to camp
out in the campsite and set the stand up in the Suzuki village in the
morning. we also met up with a few r6 cup racers such as Bob Collins,
Adam Lovett n others and watched a DVD with Bob in his caravan.
On
the qualifying day we had loads of visitors to our stand and it helped
alot with the goody bags and name tags. I had some japanese geezer come
up to me thinking I was Kieran Clarke though haha. erm then there was
race day and the Rizla Suzuki stand was attracting everyone away from
ours with 2 Minimoto replicas of J.R n Yukio but still got lots of help
and even dads talking to Q8 Oils to sponsor us next year whilst me, Tom
n Marcus sat on top of the van to watch Kagayama win the 2nd race. also
I'd like to say thanks to Marcus for his help all weekend.
I
understand the reason for the Gostar members not coming up to Cadwell to
see how we were gettin on didnt come cos of distance of Cadwell. just
hope to see loadsa gostar members at donington bsb to help n drink our
coffee haha.
I'll see loads of you at brands next weekend GOOD LUCK
RUGGERS!!! and the rest
