2009 Supernats Guest Speakers ?

[Fatguyz]

In a short space of time, this here Rodding History Forum now has some fantasic threads, pics, words, articles about the early days of rodding and drag racing in the UK.....and by the amount of views replies there is a lot of interest in it.

Wouldn't it be good if the Supernats guest speakers next year were some of our own "Hot Rod" legends?????????

Would they want to do it ????..............i don't know...........but i bet theres enough stories, pics, films etc that could fill a month of evenings......and the Supernats seminars are not that long.

food for thought????

FG:cool:

with the interest in the Low Flyers/Vultures how about a few of the main guys speaking, about the cars, who started it all, the blue and white painting at Hayling and some of the other antics this lot got up too...........

Any more questions for the AGM and we will need to think about booking Christmas dinner! ;)

Good call though Russ.

Not sure it would need to be discussed at AGM level... speakers were always discussed and deciced upon at commitee meetings in the past...can see no reason why we shouldn't use home grown talent and certainly would save the nsra some money on the cost of flying in american guests......other than the low flyers who else???? Nick Butler??? how bout Nick from Timetravel??? he's got some great pics and films that would make for a great night.....has anyone been booked yet? - ?? present commitee members or is it being left fo the newbies

it was only a thought...........AGM......mmmmmmmmm, more important issues to sort than the Supernats "speacial guest"....and if they are from the UK next year we could always drive them to the runway next door and have them flown into the showfield in a Sopwith Camel :rolleyes:

Nick from Timetravel, with a big screen to view his photos...

Really, guest speakers cost money to the club and thats pretty important, cant think whats left to discuss at the AGM that aint been covered on here a 1000 times already!!!!!!!!!, oh yes forgot about the rest of the membership who don,t use this forum, they need to be kept up to speed.
Best i pack an overnight bag:D.
Seriously though its one less thing that an already busy committee will not have to worry about thinking about if a decission was made Sunday.

think the problem might be actually finding a legend Jason

think the problem might be actually finding a legend Jason

mmmmm.....you may have a point there fella.........there was a fair hatful of names banded about regarding the Hall of Fame members......if a person was held in such esteem for their contribution to "rodding" and be considered for the possible hall of fame then surely they could talk about "it all"....................if hey wanted to of course.

If there are no such persons then how the hell did we end up where we are??????

FG:cool:

[Captain Scarlet]

How about this guy.

"His wife's first name is in June,and his first name can be used for singing,while his surname is always in tune! "

Ted Rogers

No its not dusty bin :rolleyes:

[chris]

....so I command HIGH prices.....




PG tips and chocolate hobnobs it is then Dave! :D



I think FG has come up with a cracking idea,well done ;)

Congratulations Dusty ,you have won tonight's star prize.

Ted Rogers

[Captain Scarlet]

Seriously though, he is a nice guy ,a hot rodder,he's got the pictures,he has tales to tell,and he has a lovely assistant.

But would he want to do it ?

[A32Flathead]

Hell no....Walkers Cheese & Onion crisps, Jaffa Cakes & a copy of The Sun if you don't mind....

[Dusty]

Very true...I spoke to them a week or so ago for the first time...very pleasant couple.

Mike never comes on here so he'll never know!!:D

[Fatguyz]

Mike Key....isnt he some photography chappy:rolleyes:....indeed he and his good lady are very nice people................


BUT

and back to the original question

IS IT A GOOD IDEA OR NOT:eek:
FG :cool:

[mike noble]

how many people watch these seminars ? i never have, are they worth the cost of flying people in ?

FG:cool:

Because, unlike America, no one wants to 'big up' somebody else so the moment anyone over here looked like attaining the status of 'legend' everyone would do their best to knock them down. Ya gotta love the British attitude :(

FG:cool:

They may be (have been...) A Devil With a Hammer and Hell With a Torch, but, er, possibly unaccustomed to public speaking! :)

It is a good idea, but may suffer because of the small scene over here? I must admit I have never arrived in time to catch any of the seminars at the Supernationals, but isn't their appeal the chance to hear from someone with tales to tell of far-off lands and adventures?

FG :cool:

Yes, now stop shouting at me. :D

[martin]

I've been to most of the seminars, & I've had a really good time at them. My biggest gripe though, is that there not long enough, especially the ones with Norm Grabowski & the guys from the LA Roadsters, great stories, great pictures, & really nice guys.

[martin]

As I missed him at Billing when he was a guest, how about bringing back Chip Foose.
