This ^^^ . Well done Stu.

It was the bewilderment of where everyone got the flipping time & money?

You roll up late Friday night after work and collecting your rubbish dotted all over the place and everyone else seems to have been there for a week already doing practice days, fitting new sets of tyres every 10 mins, having BBQ's, nabbing all the power points and best spots in the paddock. Not jealous at all. Doubly awesome when you kick their arses.

I was at a track day at Cadwell yesterday,

Fair play to people spending their money how they want but some of the set ups would not be out of place in the bsb paddock.

And it pissed down most of the day grumpy

Here's me trying to do the season for less than £6k(minus bike)...I know some BSB teams spend that much per race meeting on tyres.

I commute from Louth-> Lincoln every day, so often see the rigs going up to Cadwell if they've come off the A1, some of them are absolutely incredible!

I had to ring the ACU and get them to contact the organiser, which they were happy to do for me, might be worth a try mate.
