All:
In case you had not spotted it, this is what MSV call a promoted meeting, featuring trucks. I spoke to Joe there today, David Willey's collague. He told me that spectator numbers for truck races are climbing steadily, so we can expect by far our biggest crowd of the season. Let's put on the best show we can, maybe even wash the car!
I also spoke to the commentator today, and he will very much appreciate being briefed in advance. Hand-written notes scribbled on the morning of race day are OK, but something well thought out, typed up and submitted in advance is very much better. Keep it crisp and factual, with some info of note special to the car / team. If you email it to me at:
[email protected] I'll edit it all into a sheet and forward it.

Martin, they get between three and five thousand through the gate at most truck meetings....
Just found out that alongside Mark Merrell in the commentators box will be our friend Alan Hyde. He's done several 24 Hour races for us and is very supportive of what we do.
Trev - sounds like good numbers, and Joe at MSV gave me the impression that it might be more.
I'm being conservative, Brands takes both of the truck events very seriously. They are their best attended "club" meetings, and the do a fair bit of promotion (TV, press, social media etc)
