T have followed Truck 1 Racing for nearly five years and regularly attend the events at Brands Hatch.
I am now a final year student and for my degree I am doing an in-depth project into truck racing. The title is: "Is truck racing a good medicun to test and/or promote products for component manufacturers?"
Can anyone (truck racing fans, racing teams, component manufacturers, or anyone else) help me with my investigation with any information, whether positive or negative?
All contributors will be acknowledged and mentioned in the project.
Thank you for you help. Mark Reed 64A Peckham Road, London SE5 SPX
Loaders on show
e note with interest a comment in Commercial Motor for 25 November where under Briefs on page 4 a report states that trucks with lorry mounted loaders will be allowed to exhibit at TipCon in 1994.
Welford Truck Bodieshave exhibited at every TipCon and have exhibited lorry mounted loaders in every case.

T n a recent edition of CM 'there was a report of a debate, concerning membership criteria, at our Manchester conference.
Debates are popular with our delegates and the motions we table are intentionally controversial. Our delegates are encouraged, some might say obliged, to participate on the understanding that the debates are light hearted and have no constitutional effect. We have an extremely competent "speaker" who allows very few people to avoid contribution in some fashion and everyone enters into the spirit of the session.
The BAR already has clearly defined membership criteria and standards. At Manchester a motion proposing some strict new criteria was carried by a small majority and the event, held on the "graveyard slot" of Sunday morning, was particularly well attended and successful.
We are not about to revise or even review our criteria, but did learn from the debate that some of our members had views which we were not aware of.
