"Taxi Rides" - Sidecar Bonanza (Cadwell Park)

[Big Tim]

The Auto 66 Club are once again running the hugely popular end of season "Sidecar Bash" at Cadwell Park, this is over the weekend of Saturday 28th and Sunday 29th October.

A request which has been made numerous times is that of "Taxi Rides" to raise money for charity, and allow members of the public a chance to "passenger" outfits. The intention is to run them at lunchtime on at least one (or possibly both) day(s) at this meeting.

This may seem a rather premature post. However, the ACU have asked that the club submit a list of sidecar drivers to be approved beforehand - this is required in the next week. It has been requested that nominated drivers hold a national competition licence, and are signed on competitors in the meeting.

Any drivers who would be willing to be considered to take the public on their machine should contact me via p.m. on here - I will pass your details on to Charlie at the Auto 66 Club who will then forward a list to the ACU for approval. (Drivers name, licence number and category of machine will be required).

I appreciate this is very early - some competitors will be unsure whether they can commit 100% to racing at this event at this stage of the season. However, by registering your interest, there is no obligation at this stage to enter the meeting.


Final details of the Taxi Rides will be made much closer to the event - those wishing to take participate as a passenger will be informed of the how to register etc in September on this forum. No further information is available at this time.

Thanks

A week? That seems a bit short notice doesn't it for something in October, when there are Taxi rides taking place next week and at Brands in a few weeks with Bemsee.
What's happened to bring this on? I'm sure there's a reason somewhere

From what I can gather, the permit to run taxi rides has been granted, but as this is the first time that this particular event has run them they are being asked to submit a list of drivers who will be registered to take part, and are having to adhere to a strict set of regulations. I've no idea why it's being requested four months ahead of time - I'm just posting on behalf of the club.

Thanks John, Nigel and everyone else who has responded via p.m.
We now have the necessary information to send to the A.C.U. as they requested.

Details of Taxi Rides, and general information for this meeting will be made available on this forum and the front of the site nearer the time.
