Rob's Leg Waxing sponsorship

[shuz7]

Hello everyone

Rob is now booked to have his legs waxed after the second race on Sunday 24th June.

All the money raised goes to the new Air Ambulance appeals for Bedfordshire (East Anglian Air Ambulance), and Hertfordshire (Essex and Herts Air Ambulance Trust)

Would it be possible for you sponsor him?

You never know you may need the Air Ambulance.

Thanks very much in advance for all the support.

As you think he's brave, is there any chance of sponsoring him????

[shuz7]

£10 :)

Thank you very much.......

Of Course! I will come see you on the day and try and capture it on film. :)

Shall I put your name down on my sponsoring form?

[PitMarshal]

I think there's a clever link here - he'll probably need the air ambulance afterwards!

I'll add £10 to the fund as well.

Thank you very much.......

That's a total, not per leg ;)

Now, if we could use the towing strop off Safety 1 to remove the wax thingy's at speed, ...... :)

Could we also maybe add a 'bonus' waxing - say 1 eyebrow too?

I think that would be pushing it, but if you are around at the time, perhaps you could ask him

Thanks very much for the £15. For the extra £5 i'll make sure your wife can feel his legs........ Shall I therefore put you down for £20 now??

[corbygal]

Where will they be doing the leg waxing? Gotta get this on film! lol.

I'll sponsor you, not sure how much yet, depends how much student loan I got left! lol.

He will be doing it in the garage (tent)

Most people are sponsoring him either £5 or £10, some people more, its up to you, every penny helps.

[racing59]

The plan is to do it in the pit garage/V8 Village after race 2. There should be enough adrenalin in my system so I don't feel a thing!!!!!!!

Thanks to all that have pledged their support so far.

If only companies would be as fast to back the team, we'd be running ten cars!

Rob.

[Jordygirl]

Put me down for £10. I'll also bring an extra supply of Jellybabies to ease the pain ;)

[LessThanSte]

Why not do it on pit road, get it broadcast over the PA, get the non-forum users in on it and they can sponsor aswell!

Good idea, at least make sure the commentators are aware so it gets a mention.

Thats an excellent idea. Does anyone know if the commentator gets involved with this forum or any other forum?

[just_smile99]

It would be great to do it on pit road/lane/whatever its called but i need an electrical supply for the wax pot to work!!!

If its ok with Rob and his wife then how about paying an extra £5 and pulling off a wax strip yourselves??? I'll put it all on and htne you pull off an individual strip, i'll be there obviously so you cant go wrong!!!

Aren't there any electrical sockets in the pit garages? If not surely someone might have a generator you can borrow?

[LessThanSte]

Surely someone has an extension lead you can borrow Laura

[PitMarshal]

Thinking about it, I could be wrong (It wouldn't be the first time), but I think there are electrical sockets along the edge of the 'cold' pit wall so that teams can plug equipment in. Can anyone confirm this?

[espionage]

yes there are

[Filray]

You most certainly can, wouldn't miss it for the world!

Shall I bring a gag for Rob?
Will you have the doctor handy?

Rob said he'll ask chigley to black flag everyone ahead of him on the last lap.

[corbygal]

I didn't know you were doing it Laura. Hehe.

Rob Compton getting his legs waxed by a pit girl.... hilarious!

[Al_Green]

Thanks very much.

No, I drive the black flag for the stock cars... Chigley drives the truck version :)

[cgs]

i'll throw in a few quid. you'll have to give a good interview Rob ;)

[shuz7]

Thanks very much for offering to throw in a few quid. I've told Rob to give a good interview. Look forward to knowing how much a few quid is.

[cgs]

i've had a thought. have you told Autosport or another magazine about this? it might make a nice feature and promote the charities of SCSA even more.

[shuz7]

Rob contacted Autosport and Motorsport News with press releases when he formed "Team Air Ambulance". They were so interested that they printed absolutely nothing. He's sitting next to me here, muttering under his breath, something about "I suppose I should have another go".

Short Circuit magazine have said they'll carry some stuff about Rob's racing, and he will carry their stickers on his car.

Full Throttle magazine are doing a "racer's eye view" of SCSA with Rob's report for a future edition.

Lots to do, and only one calendar month to go.

Can't see Autosport featuring a leg waxing. Never mind it being in a series they aren't interested in. Maybe smaller magazines that feature SCSA. Local papers would definitely, I think, send a reporter along - ET always has that sort of charity thing featured.

WELL DONE Rob & shuz7

Make sure the commentators at Rockingham know what's going down on the 24th and have a banner made up in the pits!

Come on people - put your hand in your pocket!

[Chigley]

I'm not sure that Richard (Are-jay-nee) lurks around this forum anymore. Last years gloom, doom etc.... put him off this place terminally, however I speak to him every race morning and can easily ask him to promote the ritual of ripping Rob's hair out.

As an aside, once the track activity has ceased for the day it should be possible to use the start finish straight so that Rob's screams are more audible to the grandstands and the fiery red of ravished skin more visible. Should the organiser's / participant wish I'll willing contact Dave P or Drew to organise it.

Shuz, I'll donate a tenner a leg as long as the meat is on the rare side.

How about a few more drivers? Gav, Dunc, Dean, Stanty? just think of the weight loss and extra slipstreaming!

:) ;)

[racing59]

Right Chiggers me ol' mucka!

You get it organised for the start/finish line, and that'll be alright with me. ;)

As for the other guys... well... more the merrier, more cash for deserving charities.

Now how much are you going to pledge for me to drink some Ribena?

Rob.

[Chigley]

How much Ribena can you drink before we get a technie coloured yawn or we have to call up a "Air Ambulance"

[just_smile99]

Id be happy to wax a load of people but i'll need some more time to heat up the wax coz i'll need to refill it i reckon

Let me no how people im doing and i'll go and get some more along with strips and afterwax lotion

As far as I know its just Rob. If numbers change i'll let you know......

[shuz7]

Hi,

If anyone else would like to sponsor Rob, you have about 3 weeks to do so, so please let me know. If you are going to sponsor him on the day, thats fine, i'll bring a form with me for you ALL to fill out.

Thanks to you all for the support so far......

Are you sure you know what you're letting yourself in for here Rob? I don't normally wish bad luck on drivers (well, most of them anyway), but if I were you I'd be seriously considering putting the car in the wall on the last lap.

[racing59]

Eh?

Whether in jest or not that is a most outlandish thing to suggest, especially from a marshal who should know better !

He wouldn't escape from the waxing, I'm sure the nurses in the med centre would ensure that he would still be available to be waxed ;)

On reflection maybe it was slightly bad taste, but it was certainly not intended as a serious comment, and I'd be very suprised and disappointed if anyone treated it as such.

[shuz7]

There has to be some more people out there who haven't yet sponsored Rob for having his legs waxed.

ALL the money raised goes to the Air Ambulance, so come on guys dig deep.....

[racing59]

Right then. The moment is soon...

Weather permitting - the act of sadism will be carried out on the Start/Finish line - with Laura's couldren of boiling wax powered by a 1/2mile long extension lead, and Commentators primed for a tear by tear description of proceedings.

There will still be time to swell the coffers, right up to the point of pain!!

Rob.

[LessThanSte]

I shall pop along in the morning, with bacon sandwich in tow, to donate :)

See you then!

[racing59]

Thank you all for your support. Especially those who put their money where my leg hair used to be!!

What I need now are pics of the event. I know that cgs, Corbygal, and others were busy putting it on to electronic media.....

Anyone else got any that they're willing to share. I'm looking for some good ones to send to the Air Ambulance people for their newsletters. And maybe the local papers for a bit of PR for the series.

Rob.

But where's them piccie snappers all gone?

But where's them piccie snappers all gone?

They're a sneaky breed Rob, they wait until you're preoccupied or passing the time of day, snatch your soul and imprison it in a black box then refuse to release it until such times as it causes hilarity, embarrassment or humiliation.
