PapaJuliet Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 (edited) HiQ are running a competition to select a grid girl for the BTCC finale at Brands Hatch. A friend of mine, a fellow marshal, has entered and is one of the 10 finalists. The competition is now open for a public vote. Given that AJ is a marshal and, let's face it, motorsport wouldn't happen without marshals, it would be really good if she could get the opportunity to win this competition. Marshalling in this country is all done by unpaid volunteers who love motorsport and want to get involved, without racing themselves. It would be good to get marshalling in the public eye because we are generally short at most race meetings and some would-be marshals may get put off because they don't know how to join or think it is an exclusive club when it isn't. So please, please, please... Vote for AJ PJ Edited September 22, 2009 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PapaJuliet Posted September 29, 2009 Author Share Posted September 29, 2009 Thanks to everybody who voted for AJ. It was really a 2 horse race... AJ and the girl with pink hair with the numbers changing virtually every hour... and then they took the numbers down so you couldn't see WHO was in the lead But the results were announced today... AJ won!!! She is over the moon and I am sure she will have a fantastic time this weekend. Plus she gets a dinner date with Tom Chilton. The purpose of the competition was to raise awareness of their charity "Breast Cancer Care". And AJ will try to mention marshals on the TV. Thanks everybody... and if you watch the BTCC this weekend, watch out for AJ. PJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PapaJuliet Posted October 9, 2009 Author Share Posted October 9, 2009 Hi-Q raised £10,000 for the charity Breast Cancer Care last weekend at Brands Hatch. http://www.crash.net/btcc/news/153324/1/hiq_raises_10000_for_breast_cancer_care_at_brands.html AJ (Amanda) had a fantastic time. She sent me a text today to say thank you for all your votes. She also said she'd seen this forum and said "those people are very lovely" PJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
