Alford Performance and Supercar Rides
Discussion
It's that time of year again, when Grampian Transport Museum in Alford runs their ever popular Performance and Supercar rides.
This year, the dates are
Wednesday 14th July
and
Wednesday 4th August
The transport museum are again looking for enthusiastic owners to help them out by taking passengers around their small sprint track for a couple of laps at a time.
In return, you get to see lots of happy smiling faces as you drive passengers around the track. You also get a free lunch in the cafe at 12:00, and a £35 fuel voucher which can be spent at the Shell garage less than a mile along the road.
The event will run from around 1pm to 3:30pm, and they hope to have 15 cars taking part - so one group of 5 cars in use, whilst the other two groups are resting (ie you won't be going non-stop for 2.5 hours!)
If you are interested, either drop me an email or contact Mike (the museum curator directly) on curator@gtm.org.uk
The museum also needs these days to be well supported, so if you want some passenger rides in nice cars, all you need to do is turn up at the museum and pay the entrance fee and join the queue. I think you can queue up for rides in as many different cars as you like

It sometimes takes Mike a day or two to respond as he isn't on site every day of the week.
If you haven't heard back from him, then your best bet is to give him a quick call on 019755 62292
Last I heard there were only a couple of slots available for the July date, and about 4 for the August date.

There were some young kids taking part last year, but not sure if there is a lower age limit.
There are still a couple of slots available for cars taking part if there's any last minute interest?

There were a couple of kids last year who were very small. If I'd know I'd have taken a booster seat. I'll be taking one this year for sure. I might even have a couple of spares I could take if needed.There are still a couple of slots available for cars taking part if there's any last minute interest?
