Will BSB Brands be "snowed off" ?

[mel]

I'm about 8 miles away (further off of the Downs) and it's falling hard here and got a good covering, so will they scrub the whole round or will they race?

Hmmmmm

Jonathon Palmer was quoted on local radio this morning saying that the cancellation had cost Brands Hatch directly in excess of £250K!

The version I got was that they were trying to "intigrate" it into the Bemsee meeting, and that some races would be cut, shortened, or rescheduled for the sturday. In real terms that may be a great thing, when else will a Rookie 400 rider on possibly only his 2nd or 3rd outing get to ride infront of tens of thousands of spectators? and lets be honest the Rookie carnage is always far more entertaining than the pro rider stuff anyway.

Garages I agree no chance (these were always at extra costs for Bemsee meetings anyway and not many people use one) but they'll still be room in the paddock.

And lets be honest any Bemsee club racer is used to venues like Lydden Hill anyway so even if they were in the field over the road at Brands it would be an improvement.

It's not that many years ago that Shayne Byrne was a Bemsee club racer! I can remember being in the Rookie 600's with him and Stuart Simmonds who now owns the KSS Discovery team.
