I am thinking May or June time?

It will be a bit more risky this time as there is a base price with extras, similar to what the Pod offer, plus a £500 non refundable deposit at time of booking, plus a cancellation fee of 80%.

Hi Gareth

What the gist price wise and what's the risk - deposit & weather I guess? - and why's that changed?

"What the gist price wise and what's the risk - deposit & weather I guess? - and why's that changed?"

Last time we were Guinea pigs for Shakey's to see how it all worked, so we got a special all inclusive deal. It's now an a fully commercial basis as you will see from the leaflet when it gets posted. And yes, the risk is all about the weather. Also we will all have to pay up front well before the event, because I don't want to be left holding the baby if it pisses down!

BTW. It looks as tough Shakey's have taken a look at what the Pod are doing on these days, as pricing is virtually identical now. Except that the Pod include the timing system within the price.

Be great to see the 454 in action, Gareth. You'll have a weight advantage too. How long before your lump gets built?

Don't these terms make it less competitive than The Pod?

This is true Trailermasher. I mean the Pods a far superior venue IMO. I'm surprised Shakeys have sold us out a bit like this Business is Business though i know

Shakey's was/is cheap because it's not the pod. End of. Would rather race at the Pod any day for the same price, if not a little more...
