ASDA charity day - you take you car (by prior arrangement via Steve) and give give passenger rides around a set track - it costs you a £5 donation to get in, all your petrol and depending on your car and driving oil, tyres and brakes most getting into your car will know very little or nothing about it except the badge and colour but that doesn't matter in the least for the driver it's a fantastic time and pleasure finding the nearest petrol station and filling up actually seems fun anyone able to bring an Atom or two would bring the desk and queue much relief

We'll be there with the Deronda and AutoAdrenaline. It's the best event of the year superb day and raises lots for charity.

Hi Steve,
The westy is back on the road again, fresh coat of paint, looking good and as fast as ever.

gsd2000 said: Any noise restrictions? Hi, as Steve's not around at the moment I'll say I don't know but I've not seen any sound testing equipment there on the day I'd guess if your car is that noisey you're more likely to get pulled on the public roads getting there than at the circuit the Vulcan bomber used to take off and land there and that's quite loud for the fast cars the worry is more about having your brake fluid and brakes in good condition before going - and your tyres serious long wide straight then serious bend last year

My 360 suffered some smoking front brakes after about 10 laps of braking from about 160 at the end of that straight! The 18 wheelers crossing your path give you little room for error as well!
