What a shame your url to this page is being posted around the net directing people to mindless people like you lot.

I mean you contradict yourself with the chav comments. Look at the carry on, on this page with not only the fact that you have no pity and are making snide comments there is also aload of swearing.

Shameful lot.

USC is not chavvy what so ever. Its a full on camping weekend that includes beer, food, women, car's, racing. What more do you want. Unfortunatly there is going to be the odd one or two that will ruin the show slightly but 95% of the people that participate love to have a good time and that's what it is all about.

Glad it wasn't just me that found that statement amusing. Wouldn't touch it with a barge pole.

Sad that this lad died so young, whatever the cause. Though if it was drink/drug related, then I have no sympathy, only for his family and friends who he has left behind and who have to pick up the pieces. If it was for some other cause, then it is sad at that age.

But regardless of that incident, you still wouldn't catch me there for toffee!

Horses for courses and each to their own, I ran the 3 door up the strip Saturday at USC and enjoyed the day, plenty to do and look at.

Yes every now and then you could smell weed and folk walking around drinking but I think thats just Santa Pod in general. Been to plenty of RS days over the years and seen numpty's plus had bits nicked off the car so all shows have their rotten lot.

Still sad that someones son went away for a CAR SHOW and never came home no matter what the cause of death is.

RIP young man.

If it was a day event you wouldn't see people walking around with beer. People go to USC to party the weekend and go mad. Its fantastic!

I met alot of people on my travels and rave'd with complete strangers. I would say USC is a fantastic weekend full of petrol heads an a weekend you get to just let go and do what ever you feel. What happens at USC stays at USC - You know the koo!

USC was his first show with us, in which he aimed to get his car ready for, it was finished at around 7:30pm on thursday night

Concerning the rumours that have gone round, this is not the cause of his death, this is unknown until we hear further information from the police

Our sympathys go to his family, closest friends and girlfriend

Tristan Barrett
18th October 91 ~ 7th August 10 (18 years old)"

I just think it's disgusting that you are all running your mouth off without any facts!
thats spot on mate . we was camped next too cruise mids , not a very nice thing to wake up to i hate to think how the cruise mids lot felt/feel.
was there most of the morning and some of the brainless idiots needed a slap for calling out and singing stuff when a lad lay there dead.
all of us who were there were affected and duly laid some flowers for him , just a young lad out for a good weekend and didnt wake up .

Seriously?

And I've been for the last 4 years in a row. I'm actually a big fan of the event, though it has got worse every year IMO. I've got mates that have been going out of tradition for 10 years now and they're anything but chavs. But saying it's not chavvy what so ever?

Jesus christ man have you no shame?

It is the definitive chavfest, I challenge you to name any show more chavvy, it even maxes max power live and donny car show look like polo matches by comparison!

RIP to the lad, as per what I said on the other thread, I dont think people should be throwing about unproved allegations about how he died when his family may read it at etc.

RIP to the poor lad, condolences to the family at 18 he's barely started life

Sadly being USC people are bound to jump to conclusions, I haven't been for about 7 years now, it was sightly 'dodgy' behaviour back then too, with carvans being set on fire near tents, drunks hooning around in cars, people off their heads on drugs, 'chav' 'boy racers' I would be apprehensive about going again for anything but during the day

It wasn't anything to do with drink or drugs according to the people he was with.

Theres a thread on This Site about the lad and a facebook group.

Such a shame for someone so young (he was 18 AFAIK)

Why has the thread title not been changed (died not killed), it suggests an accident or murder rather than the result of someones own actions or ilness, misleading IMO.
Can't comment from experience on this actual event BUT in my experience from other similar ones these generic max power type "open to all" weekend festivals always have that element about them and hence why i don't go, it's always full of dicks and I constantly worry someone will vandalise and nick my car.
Chuckled at Meganes comments, if you are affiliated with USC in some way then i can understand your comments, but I suggest you just let this one go, your wasting your time and you won't convince us otherwise, I mean that in a nice way BTW.

Well R,I,P to the lad, however USC has got a bit chavtastic over the past few years and I've been going since 2003 and only missed this year due to lack of funds. I enjoy the show and generally drink all weekend ) the xxx show's are always spot on, and in 2009 there was a group of Daves doing the conga through the dance tent with Scooby Doo at the front. Drum and Bass nut's couldn't believe their eyes

R.I.P to the poor lad, from what i've read he had diabetes and this is the most probable cause, but dont quote me on that, its just what ive read! 18 is no age and if i was his family or friends and reading a lot of what's been written on sites like this one, i wouldn't be too happy!

I heard stories from some MK lot of a large group taking it in turns to see who could drink the most offensive fluid, engine oil, piss etc was amongst the things.

Didnt see that going on at silverstone on Sunday.
