Ted, One minute Silence at PF to remember....

[tvradict]

Ted, was thinking about this today. Don't know why, but at 11.00am on Sunday perhaps it would be fitting to have a 1 minute silence (or cars on idle type thing) to remember those of us that have past into the better

Dave H
Harrigan
Jon Dokic

Maybe it's something best left for BTAP but with so many of us there. So many cars, and whats one minute out of a weekend?

[Podie]

hear, hear!

[DennisTheMenace]

Good idea !

Perhaps a minute's silence followed by "L&G Start your engines...and a minute's serious noise...?"

Now that i reckon they would appreciate

[tvradict]

Well, yeah, in whatever shape of form that would be the most fitting.

I was thinking of maybe have one Lone Chimaera/Griff/SEAC in a bugle player stylee, he/she makes some noise for 20 seconds or so, then goes turns off (start of the minute) and at the end fires up, thus signalling the start of a mass engine start and one minutes serious noise.

Or something like that. We've got 7 weeks to decide the details but It would of course need the rubber stamp of the great one...

Excellent idea
What better to remember way to honour their memory.

[PetrolTed]

Will be tricky for silece there to be honest with drag racers doing 150mph down the track!

I'll give it some thought. We'll come up with something.

Ted - related and maybe simpler would be to perhaps have a "donation bucket" at the entry to the PH area with the proceeds going split between the three charities nominated by the families?

I thought about that as well (I did a lot of thinking today, didn't get much work done though ), in fact, I nearly didn't mention it because of the drag racers.

2 things.
1, will we be that close that we couldn't hold a minutes silence,
2, do they have a lunch break we could have it during instead.

And also, I seem to remember you saying that Joe Public would be allowed into the PH area, if that is the case, maybe we should put up a poster or two at the entrance saying that we will be holding a minutes silence followed by a minutes noise at whatever time etc.

[PetrolTed]

I think Black Tie and Pie may be a more suitable venue for marking their memory as PistonFest could be pretty chaotic.

[tvradict]

Also means we can have a toast to their memory.

Ted - There was a minutes 'noise' for Harrigan at one of the VW meets back in the spring. Worked well IIRC. Putting up some kind of notice would help explain to the uneducated whats happening though.

[nubbin]

I agree with Ted - Piston fest isn't the kind of controlled environment for this - let's do it at BT&P
