One day is possible and you can go home at the end of the cday but need to be back in the morning before the public. I hope to get down Wedenesday during my lunch hour!

I have PM'd the 9 so far listed so there is one space for the whole weekend to exhibit, and there may be a day space on either day IF any of the 9 can't make both days.
This will get a car and 2 people in free all weekend, camping £10 a head if you want to stop over.

I will have to work on first come first served so please PM me. I need to let the organisers know last details by the end of this week.

Thank you
Matt

Thanks for the replies so far.
There are 2 weekend spaces left at the moment, roll up, roll up.

I am hoping to get the passes for you all this week or early next.
There are still a couple of spaces for the whole weekend and a couple for the Saturday only.
This is free for exhibitors and is in Northamptonshire so not far from Santa Pod.
Camping is the only cost if you want to stay over, £10 and adult, £5 child.

Might be able to do the sunday only Matt, that's if Pete hasn't helped me blow the 'bird up this weekend! would the car be admissible on the lorry?

Roydon confirmed that he would take the race car on a trailer for the weekend (Test and Tune day..........

)

Post by **MattH** » Wed Sep 11, 13 11:01 am

Don, that would be great, Your car would go down a storm as always.
Lorry is fine, I have checked about support vehicles for race cars and that is OK.

Pete,
Roydon's car is a brilliant addition. Will he be camping in the motorhome or commuting?

Don · Post by **Don** » Wed Sep 11, 13 11:32 am

ok thanks Matt i'll let you know for sure asap, would I be able to run the car or just static?

Post by **MattH** » Thu Sep 12, 13 9:07 am

I think you would have to run the car or face a revolt from the crowd!!

Event is static display but with cars on the track according to the timetable, I get the idea the more spectacular (read loud and smoky) the cars the more chance of track time.

Mark Ashman is the man organising the track, I think he has something to do with Gary's picnic.
Here is what he told me a while back.

Basically we are running a Street Car Shootout display for the crowds similiar to the one we have run at Garys Picnic and Dragstalgia ie heads up first across the line goes through, that being said we have some slingshots booked in and barely legal street cars putting in some demo runs if its load and can put in some smokey burnouts for the crowds you would be more than welcome.

Roydon is taking the race car so it would be great to see two Plymouths doing heads up racing on Open Headers!!!!
