Competition, Win A Ticket To Wsb - Brands Hatch

[Lateshift]

Ok so here we have it, i have in my grubby mitt a ticket to the World Superbikes for 6th August, yes thats race day! :D

Want to win it? (no i am not giving mine up as i have one already :D ).

So here is the deal you get 5 questions relating to World Superbike History, use google, phone a friend, hell ring the headquarters of the World Superbike championships up for all i care, either way you need to get 5 questions right

Nothing too difficult in that is there? :D

so how do you play?

Simple, i give you the questions, you give me the answers by email, i draw an email at random and Roberts your Mothers Brother and all that jazz :D

And i will even chuck in some recorded delivery to make sure it gets to you before next years race, cant say fairer than that eh? :D


ok the email to use is:

mick753 @ blueyonder.co.uk (just take out the spaces)

The questions, well there is a catch, for the next 5 days in this thread i will hoy up a question, and you need to keep hold of the answer, so rather than get bombarded all week with emails from people wanting to win the ticket, you get all week to mull it over, then send the emails in over the weekend.

Any questions so far? no? good :D

Eyes down and look in for a starter for ten

(i should point out that my decision is final, the ticket is not refundable, blah blah blah, there is no charity linked to this and no profit is being made and all that other malarkey, so if you want a ticket its all legal, above board blah blah blah :D ).


QUESTION 1.

Who are the only riders to have each achieved 30 "race" wins in World Superbike Championship History?

QUESTION 5 (FINAL QUESTION!)

In 2003 following the death of one of the motorcycling greats, Brands Hatch GP circuit was modified, the famous "Dingle Dell" chicane was removed and that section of the track was renamed to what?



Ok, just to reiterate, the final question is out, that means you may now get the answers in an email and send it in to me, as i am away at the track as of this afternoon, the draw will be made on Tuesday 1st August 06, when you send the email, the subject heading should be:

WSBK Competition

Included in the email should be 5 answers to the questions, clearly listed as 1-5 and lastly it should have your username at the bottom of the email

After the draw the winner will be announced in this thread and the address to send the ticket to will be requested by email.


Good luck and may the best EB'er win :D

You got them all right, but it wouldnt have made any difference if you had only got 1 right in the end, the rest of the miserable sods obviously either dont have a clue about World Superbikes or didnt want to play :D

No skin off my nose, i wont be doing it again thats for sure :D :D

[DoodleBug]

Ooh I wish I'd entered now even if it was only to make you feel better, I'm sorry, :( but at least you know I didn't cheat, ;) cos if I had of entered I would have only copied and pasted Kev's answers as I found where he stashed them.:rockon

[Lateshift]

lol :D

I am not sore about it, it saved me sifting through emails if the truth be known, but i didnt want to let a WSBK ticket go to waste so i thought rather than just give it away i would do a competition like we had last time, no harm done :D

And Kev is more than welcome to the ticket anyway :)
