If you have something interesting and you don't mind giving rides on the track you could register and bring her along. Nobody will mind if she pays for rides once in (so to speak).

We might need to see pictures to decide wink
how do we register?

My brother and I were happy to offer rides.
Never got a response as to whether his rare Evo 6 extreme was something they'd want, or my Noble GTO3.

I'm sure your Noble and your brother’s Evo would be welcome but please note most of the passengers wont be out and out petrol heads or Evo aficionados so please let your brother know that, the fact that’s it’s a modern fast four seater car with hopefully seatbelts is very attractive for families and the likes of me loading the passengers smile

I expect things are still being organised, just having a date is the very tip of a very large iceberg of organisation plus Steve has to earn a living inbetween

Apologies for not posting up but had a spell in hospital . Will be able to post up details next week .
I would like to point out that the goals are 1. To raise money for children's charities ( We distributed £42k last year )
2. For you and your paying passengers to enjoy the day and be safe . END OF
It is important that the paying public enjoy the experience and we attempt to place as they request and to this end it helps to run a variety of Exotic , Fast and unusual cars . However , 3 years ago we had a DeLorean on our gate and thought that he would be inundated No not one ride .
As Nigel said we operate the last 2 gates as a bus stop and have double the track passes which in turn means that our drivers have more track time . Also we have dedicated parking next to the pit lane .
As for visitors if you would like to contact I will give you my address and would ask you to send a stamped addressed envelope for an invite . ( A £ 5.00 donation per car on the gate )
We appreciate you guys taking part and believe we are doing something right by the numbers that return each year .

Sorry if my responses were wide of the mark. Just trying to help.

That'll be me then, only Atom for the whole morning made for a very busy start. Fortunately I had Mattt as my second driver (that turned into my main driver after about an hour). biggrin
It was a real chore, but somebody had to do it biggrin

Although I think that day probably cost me a lot more than most - an Atom is on my shopping list now wink

I also started in Cervinis gate, but ended up in my old Camaro somehow at the TVR midshires section for most of the afternoon, but had a good few hours of fun laps..

Hi Lawrence, I’m a member of the Auto Adrenalin Club for car enthusiasts.

So I attend with the club, the club organizes the passengers, take the money and load/unload the passengers.

All I have to do is drive.

Yes you do.

There are two levels of membership, around £30 for standard and £60 for the super car membership.

You get other benefits, like factory visits, discount tuition and we went to the TRAX show at Silverstone with two free 15 min track sessions.

Hi Steve,

Can I check you've got me (Dave Howard) on the list for this event with my Tuscan mk2? I replied originally to a request through Facebook but only just got round to checking smile

I've sent you a pm as well just in case.

Cheers
Dave

Really enjoyed this event last year and will be there again this year. Just coming to act as ballast in the cars at a fiver a pop is great fun.

Would need to upgrade the brakes on the Scooby before thinking of giving rides around the circuit, they'd only last about 4 or 5 laps at the moment as standard, even allowing for the time to cool between laps in the change over area.
