Croft Nostalgia Weekend

[MikeT66]

Heading up to Darlington this coming weekend for the Nostalgia Weekend at the Croft circuit. Not been to the circuit before - just wondered if anyone had any useful info - is there any decent food, good view-points, etc?

Thanks for the info, chaps. What is the trade-stand, Chocmonster? I'll say 'Hi' if I see you there.

We sell vintage magazines, books, etc. will have a white gala tent with a red Volvo estate hiding somewhere near. Check my profile for the our company website. Usual place for the trade stands are on the grass area between the pits & the Complex banking.

Have been going to Croft since the 1970's too, seen it through lots of changes and at one point when it was Rallycross only I worked as part of the track staff, just a pity I don't get to go more often due to work commitments.

Sounds good - I'll definitely keep a look out for your stand. Great info on here chaps - thank you all.

We had a wonderful weekend at Croft, amazing weather.

Was great to meet you and your wife MikeT66, just spotted this photo of her on the Nostalgia Facebook page!



These are probably the best photos I grabbed of the Vulcan:





Sadly I didn't get to see alot of the racing but that's how it is when you're supposed to be working!

Hi Chocmonster,

It was lovely (but brief) to meet you, too. Hope you had a successful weekend. We had a great time, met plenty of lovely and friendly people and saw some fantastic racing - particularly the historic saloon cars. I should really get around to posting some photos up.

We saw the photo on the Facebook website - Mrs.T66 was a bit hot in the wool suit as the weather was hotter than we expected, but she received lots of compliments on the day, so I think it was worth it. It's a shame we couldn't stay over on the Sunday as we missed the Vulcan, and I'm not sure I'll see it fly again before it's grounded permanently.

If you venture south to Oulton Park at any point we'll see you there, no doubt!!
