See my original topic....

www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?t=136198&f=100&h=0

I need numbers! It will cost £12 per person to go in to Santa Pod and then £50 for each driver.

Aiming for Saturday 21st of May or July 2nd if it pisses down!

I need an email from each of you with details of who is coming not just a reply on here. Reason is I need to give a list to Santa Pod (sort of a "guest" list).

You know what they say.......your names not down you ain't coming in!

Maximum of 100 drivers on the day.....so should be better than an ordinary RWYB day.

Santa Pod will also cordon off an area for us if we let them know who is going.

Yep should be up for it - not a Vette - but have a Z06 engine in Tiv! Have to see if race date (Thoroughbred Sportscars) clashes though.

Paid my money and ticket has arrived

Lusifer - the reason we went for a T&T day rather than a RWYB (£25) is that you might actually get to drive your car down the strip rather than sitting in the staging lanes all day...........

Seemed for the price a much better deal and I know you are a very hard up solicitor, but even you should be able to afford the extra £35

I did think about Shakespeare / Avon Raceway but last time I was there the track was incredible slow compared with Santa Pod and it was £20 just to get in plus £15 to sign on.

Just a small point of order here. When I called you a "computer programmer" you gave me a right rollicking. Now you are calling the esteemed Mr LU51FER a solicitor - he will probably sue you for that.
And before you say anything, I am not a #anker - I retired form the world of finance on 1 Jan!! (as you know).

Too right. Calling a barrister a solicitor is like calling a Vette driver a ricer. Frankly, I'm hurt. I used to be Frank Lee but I changed my name by deed poll. Now I'm reading a book about glue and I can't put it down. Anyway, Santa Pod is too far for me, I get lost around Cardiff. he he.

Sorry Barry Star!

Not Sol Isitor......

Anyway, you ain't allowed out of Wales as that would violate your SWO (sheep worrying order)!

OK. VHR. Maybe its me getting old, can you confirm a few things for me and others reading this thread;

1. What telephone number do we call for tickets?
2. How many people have booked or are going to book?(Its no good racing against yourself, I do that everyday).
3. Times?
4. Is it definitely 21st May?
5. Is it just Vets & Vipers?

OH are we planning to meet at various points on route?

Thats it.

Hi Tekwiz,

answers as follows:

1. www.rwyb.com for details.
2. I arrange it, up to the enthuasiasts to turn up. There are a maximum of 100 places for that day so the sooner people book the better the chance of getting a place.
3. It's an open Test and Tune day on the 21st so anyone can book, but as I said above a maximun of 100 places.
4. There will be all sorts there, but the more vettes and vipers that book the better it will be for us.
5. Plan to be there for 10 a.m.

Going on mass is possible but as there are people coming from North, South, East and West I wasn't planning or arranging meeting points.
