Download, Donnington and hotdogs

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/liv...n_page_id=1954

This might contain spoilers about certain motorbike races, I don't know, so read with caution, but I loved the bit where they are wondering why Donnington is such a slippery ciruit. Could it be Marylin Manson's hotdogs?

They used to say it was planes going into the airport dropping fuel. Could be worse...

tried to post last night,

this is utter lies,

i was at download and from what i can remeber, all or 99% of the stands and stalls were on the grass and it was just people walking up and down the track,

yeah food was dropped, but didnt his tyre get messed up in another race which didnt have hot dog oil?

Call me old fashioned (or something...) but I kinda feel race tracks should only be used for .... well... racing... and obviously track days.

Multitudes of drunk and/or sloppy people on a track wouldn't inspire me with confidence that the track is in tip-top condition.

It's supposed to be one of the benefits of 'keeping it off the road and saving it for the track day' I always thought.

If they rent the track out for other events then they should make sure that it's cleaned up before people risk their limbs on. I heard Donny was cr*p to goto anyway.

Coincidentally, Donington's a rotten concert venue too. Perhaps they should bring the Moto GP to Milton Keynes Bowl?

what aload of rubbish, the only bits of the track that would have ben dodgy were the gravel traps..i wouldnt want to be sliding into them after the download weekend *shudders*
ALL the food stands were on grass and WELL AWAY from the track

Maybe it's the leftover grease from Ozzfest 04, or was it 05? They were on the track up by the dunlop bridge that year.

Rossi's windups get more subtle don't they?

ozzfest was 03, download started in 04
