Charity Fund Raising - A message for all drivers

[XR2 Baz]

I have been supporting Teenage Cancer Trust for a few years now. Last year, some of you helped raise over £1000 at the Scottish Motor Show by offering passenger rides in our race cars round the track. It was a unique opportunity for members of the public to experience sitting in a real race car at real speeds on the circuit, for just £10 donation to TCT.

This year, Knockhill have kindly agreed to give us use of the track again to help raise more funds. I’m confident that we will have slightly better weather that we did last year, which was perhaps the worst we’d driven in all season, and that we can smash the total from last year.

I’m hoping you might be able to help out. What I’m asking for is that you can bring yourself, your car complete with passenger seat and an assistant up to the Scottish Motor Show on the weekend of the 22nd and 23rd May. We will have two 20 minute sessions each day, and hopefully a full booking of passengers each for session. From there it’s up to you to entertain each passenger for a couple of laps!

If you’re interested, please PM me.

Thanks
Barry Holmes

Don't know if the car'll be back together in time (gearbox coming out this week and a few other issues need to be dealt with too), but if it is, count me in!

Barry, Helen and I are going to be up there all day both days. We're running a marshal recruitment stand. Helen will be on that and I am helping the rescue team do some car roof cutting demos (so don't leave your car too near us unless you want one of those rare and often sought-after XR2 convertibles!!!).

This won't be going on all day so if you need a hand with anything, strapping folk in etc, give me a shout! I may be able to lend a hand.

Thanks David! I'll speak to you over the weekend.

Yeah I think we'll keep our cars well out your way Sounds like an interesting way to attract new marshals though. You should get some volunteer drivers to be 'rescued' ;D

Cheers

No thanks, I've had my fill of being rescued already this year!

I'm more than willing to help out the marshal recruiting drive if theres anything we can do. I owe you guys one.

Thanks, Emicen

I think we have a stand behind the Moss Clubhouse, just inside the main gate in paddock 2 in the Motorsport Zone so you're very welcome to pop by and meet some of the satsumas that look after you guys and girls on the track! All welcome!
