Asda Charity day Aug 2nd

[N GTS]

Many of us have enjoyed a day out on Bruntingthorp track, giving rides for charitys at an event sponsored by Asda. Its just about a month away and the organsiers need to know who would like to attend... BUT ... what may be the deciding factor is the council are monitoring noise and have and been trying to pass an injunction against track events. They will be monitoring noise outside the track, but its been suggested around 100 db to keep the peace! So anything much more that standard pipes isn't going to meet it. At the moment there are places for Vipers, but if Viper club aren't going, the places can be offered to other clubs. I don't see it listed in the events wiki, so would any Vipers like to go??

Heres some info:

Cool, so that 4 of us then so far (?) and it would be a treat to see the TTs in action.

Paul you might want to have a chat with John the organiser, I'm only repeating what he told me today. Aircraft are not the problem, its the event cars the council are out for. They are not welcome onto the venue to test, but will be monitoring close as they can get, there will also be organisers monitoring on the track, if too loud cars go out they will ruin it for everyone, the event and others could be cancelled, remember this is all about charity, the whole day.

I'll let them know Vipers will be attending, and get the passes and info / timings, out to those wanting to go soon.
