Hats off to Dougie and the team.smile

Soph was very disappointed when she was told Vauxhalls only, even Gary's 600hp GTR wouldn't be safe from Tippy over the mile and with her drivinghehe
We'll prob bring the 2 VXR's (although she'll hate the Corsa as its stock and she'll be last.)

When you say Vauxhalls only, have they changed it then, or does that still include HSV's?

Whilst its great VX organising it, its a real shame what was once a forum event for forum members with various marques is no longer the case
Well that would have been Jez and it cost him a few bob IIRC.

You could do one yourself???

(I did one once)
Its not that high on my list just a bit of a shame there isn't space for us others, but then it is a VX event now so I appreciate that. I'm doing the V8UK power tour at Shakeys but its the mile where its really at

Nothings changed
Its Vauxhalls, HSV's and yes Holdens I think one year we had a Pontiac aswell.
We would love to open it up to others but not sure I would be able to explain why im subsidising other manufacturers customers think youll understand.
As mentioned before anyone can come and watch and partake in our BBQ if you still want to come for a day out and that includes the Datsuns

If you look above, you will see that a few of us have already booked into a Premier Inn at Ipswich North for the Friday night. If you go up on the Saturday, it will be a very early start to get there for 8ish.

Dragging down the runway for the day was £60 last year.

Thread is http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?t=129... for last year's event.
