    Much as it pains me to say that’s pretty cheap for the full sets and there’s lots of reading in all of them . I have the full sets and it cost me considerably more to get them all.

    Thanks Duncan.

  3. ** UPDATE **

     

    The promotion at Trackstar have very kindly allowed the DVD's to be sold at their merchandising stall (which is located) just in front of the bar on the main straight at tomorrow night's meeting.

     

    There is only a limited run of these DVD's produced so get in quick - one they're gone... they're gone!

     

    £10 each.

     

    Thanks,

  4. Hi all,

    We have had some DVD's made of the evening thanks to 247.tv, the team behind the Premier Sports Stock Car coverage.

     

    D27-A285-F-D00-E-4-F39-8-CAB-00-C6-D5-A9

    62-AD8808-61-B0-4-B30-8965-C8-A91-B4-FEA

     

    F0-BBC6-BF-308-A-45-A7-823-A-D65-F09-DC1

    Nothing is missed and there's around 4 hours spread across the DVD's.

    All profits are going directly to Mat Newson.

    I will be at Kings Lynn this weekend if you wish to collect one there, or I can post one to you (drop me a message for details how).

    They're £10 trackside or £12 posted.

     

    Cheers,

    BriSCA F1 Stock Car World Final 2019 – help!
    You might know we have the 2019 F1 Stock Car World Final (14th September, if it’s not already in your diaries), but . . we need some input!
    Do we have an F1 only event, which will allow us to accommodate more F1 racers (We’re told 60 drivers from Holland could make their way over!).
    OR do we take less F1’s and have the 2 Litre Stock Cars in support.
    Both equally as good - it’s a tough decision, isn’t it?
    Let us know below and give us as good as gauge on interest possible.

     

     

  9. We are soon to go to print in an amazing production of the Calendar Ladies calendar 2019.

    This calendar is in aid of treatment for cervical, breast and ovarian cancers for those who are not aware of why we are doing this!

    The calendars go to print very soon and we are in need of some A3 hard backed envelopes to be able to post some of these out.

     

    Can you help?

     

    Suzanne.

     

    I'll donate 50 to get you started.

     

    When and if you run out I'll top you up.

     

    Drop me a PM with your address and I'll get them shipped to you.

     

    Well done on the amazing work that you and the rest of the ladies are doing.

  10. Only tugging on your sporan PB.

     

    Very impressed with things at SpeakVegas this year.

     

    Just needs humane toilets, stella in the bar, a helipad, a direct motorway from Bedfordshire, wifi and sherbert fountains in the track shop and it'll be perfect.

    Paul

     

    50 cars across 4 formula's?

     

    doesn't sound all that good to me.

     

    Beaks you should now me betters its an 'F1' forum only.

     

    Question for the stats people is the Skegness Car turn outs better than last year? I think so, no doom and gloom at the Skegway!!

  12. I've been very fortunate to have some good proof readers helping me out with work I've done.

     

    Setting aside grammar and punctuation, they're very good at finding things that don't always read correctly or even make sense. Often when writing something you know what you mean... and think others will get it but sometimes it just doesn't convey how you want it.

     

    Another thing I like to do is when I've finished writing is to print out a copy and actually read it out loud. The human mind is pretty good when reading 'in your head' and often filters things out as you know most of the content - reading it aloud often shows how hard something is to read 'for the first time' and you can re-word it to suit.

     

    For interviews, I tend to write almost exactly what the drivers say and don't edit it at all. If their grammar isn't perfect or what they say could be re-worded better then so be it. I find leaving things alone helps the reader feel that they're listening to the driver in their head and not some polished work the author has farmed out.

     

    Get some contacts in the sport and I'm sure you'll be writing in some of the publications before long. I actually started writing for the Coventry programme after a colossal falling out with Jeremy Heaver on this very forum...!

     

    I'd also recommend getting hold of some of the better books out there - 'The Sound and the Fury' is the benchmark (to me).

     

    For content - always try and add something different into the mix. Often I find people just write down a whole bunch of statistics which is cool but personally people want to read something they can't find on the internet or be reminded of something that happened a while back... sticking just to 'in 1999 driver X won Y and in 2000 driver A won B and in 2001 driver 1 won 2' etc etc can get very tedious.
