Hi chaps.
Thinking of doing this as a stag day for me mate. We're not young bucks anymore so none of the usual antics required !!!
Thought it might be cool to mini bus it Few beers and talk usual yank bull all day.

So. A question for those who went last year. How were food / beer prices etc ?
Do you think this would be a good idea ?
Cheers :thumbright:
It's all about Smiles per gallon !!!

Just noticed that it is Free entry for the Driver - BUT NOT THE PASSENGER(s).

Have I missed something and can you pay on the day or only Pre-entry.

I could not see a list / photos of Pre-entered and registered cars - has anyone spotted this on the Speedfest site?

Cheers

No idea, my planning has not got that far yet - I will be guided by you.

In readiness for the event I got the front tyres changed on the Bee yesterday - the M/T Sportsmans lasted less than 1000 miles :shock: :shock: :shock:

I am putting this down to it being a heavy car, and the high camber set up to ensure there is sufficient caster. I think this kills crossplys so have deliberately switched to Radials.

It could not possibly be my driving style.
Being a pensioner I drive like Miss Daisy nowadays ;) ;) ;)

ha ha no it could'nt be your driving mate (the story of your 6-pack outers sticking open comes to mind) !!! We're setting off in convoy with No Nax (9 sec Nova) around 11.00 so be there around 12.30, maybe later as his truck is limited! I'll also call the hotel today to confirm our bookings mate

Fantastic! Thanks as ever, mate.

I will plan around those times accordingly.

It is starting to sound like a weekend pass for the Passenger.....
