Default The real Team .Org

So who is TRULY thinking of doing minitwins/racing in 2008?

If there are several people who race on the .org, then it would be possible to make a team-org ... sharing/combining resource like awnings gennys and spares, transport has to be good for all involved?!?!? It might also make it more viable for people who fancy it, but don't have access/room to keep to everything.

Even better if there are others that are not going to race but have resource they are willing to submit ... things like peoples time, contacts (parts, sponsorship etc) and physical things (works van they can borrow, caravan etc) could make any .org racers life so much easier!!

That and having friendly faces to simply support and provided encouragement

Hi ,we will be doing BEMSEE minitwins in 2008 .
In the process of building the bike now.
Looking at Brands gp as our first round next year due to work/money etc,aint gonna be ready by the 8th of march thats for sure.
My son Jamie is the rider, and myself John the spanner man,should be #90 that is if we keep the same numbers from the other series we have done.(Pastmasters on a 250 tzr)
Be quite interested to hear from like minded people re this proposition of helping each other out.

Even if you were just making convo in your original thread, but I think a .org RRC would be a cool idea.

I am not proposing to arrange this OR to take part, just think it was a good idea that could help flesh out racing aspirations from .org members that would struggle to do it alone through circumstance or confidence (i.e. daunting to start up alone) ... even simple stuff like someone might own a farm and not mind someone storing their race outfit (van, perhaps van and caravan) out the way somewhere on their propatar. The rider themselves might not have anywhere to keep a big van themselves and this is prohibiting them racing ... simple stuff like that. Where the collective .org could sort it ...

Just to make it clear, this is not me asking for assistance as I have no current race aspirations for 08!! I really am trying to see others helped out!

Hey guys, I would love to get involved in racing, in mini twin.....

Though at the moment, I don't have anything.....Yeah I wouldn't mind working togther with anyone to make our lives, easy. I would plan to do some races towards the end of next year, manily due to money I need to save some more and also work (I'm run off my feet at moment) I need to see the race schedule and book time off work.

Any kind of help would be ace, I would be so grateful and happy if anyone can get involved and help in anyway, being a rookie there is a lot to learn and I have no gear no bike! I want to get one next year.

I have been saving as much as I can and doing loads of ovetime, hence why I'm working boxing day.

To be honest knowing where to start off, is kinda hard what you need ect.

Sideshow will be racing, but he is away now till, febuary.

My msn is on my profile, so email or add me I don't mind, I can give you my number that way!

It's a great idea tbh... Minitwins is supposed to attract rookie racers isn't it, which doesn't just mean you're new to racing, you're new to the whole paddock life and race day process, I suppose.

Luckily for me I'm too far away from most rounds to be tempted to get involved
