Tuscan Challenge Racers and BBWF
Discussion
So what do you want from BBWF? Should the "Massive" come to you or would you prefer the weekend kicking tyres? Let us know your views. 
Hi, thanks for asking the question. Personally I'd prefer a separate event, not cos I'm a miserable git, which undoubtedly I am, but its not the reason.
There's several actually, all my opinion obsivously, so take and leave what you want of what I say.
During a race meeting, I can end up tearing round like a blue arsed fly becasue I don't always have the luxury of a mechanic, as such it wouldnt, for me, be an opportunity to mix and mingle with other Wedgers, i'd feel like an exhibit almost.
If it was at a Tuscan meeting I wouldn't be able to get both the Wedge and the race car to the event, and come next summer I intend to have the Wedge on the road (I know I've said that for many years, but this time i might not be lying!)
It would limit the amount of poison I could drink during the event, which is never a good thing, I like my poison.
My personal feeling is that the Wedgefest should try and create an identity borne out of a recurring venue, Ettington has for its faults (expensive shite beer and expensive crap food), provided this. If the wedgefest began following the race series around it would not give the stability that the event needs to be a continued event. (This point is totally my opinion as a total outsider to the event and the organisers)
Ok, 3 selfish reasons and on utilitarian one. Hows that?
What ever happens I'll do everything I can to get to BBWF07 with a Wedge. Thanks again for asking our thoughts, and thanks for taking the time to organise things.
Regards
Iain

Can I be greedy and ask for both 
I thought the first year worked quite well. I managed to get there on the way back from lydden Hill, with a bust chassis on the taz allowing us to make an early get away.
and then later in the season on a suturday race ( it just happened to be oulton at the end of the season) had
a mini wedge fest, where a few wedgers made the trip up to the race and joined us for the pissup later
So for me its a dedicated wedge event, that hopefully doesnt clash with a race so i can get down there and bring topless taz, and then the wedge massive join us for a race meet and a pissup.
one possibility for a pissup could be the britcar 24hr, im pushing for a tuscan race there, and then we'd all be there with camping available..
so In short, what do I want from BBWF, A date that doesnt clash with anything else and especially a race weekend
