TBH on the few occasions I've been to Rockingham it has never been that busy.

Problem is that even when there are lots of people ther it can still look empty as its so BIG.

At least there will be a minimum of 3 pople there: Me, Blip and Bigrah (maybe Longers too!)


It's true ... the poor old place always looks empty.

You need to pray for rain .... the organisers there have been known to ask for volunteers to drive round to dry the track out for them you know



Thunder Sundays aren't normally that busy cos there's one on most months I think. The TVRCC had a big meet at one last year - if you do get on the track keep below their speed limit......after the lunchtime the TVR's took part I got told off for speeding in the one of the oldest cars there

Will aim to be at Corby BP for 9.00am but if I'm not there you'll know why!

There are a couple of us coming from South-yorkshire but i have not been to Rockingham before, do the TVRs park up together in a certain place or special parking etc.
I think we should be there around 10.30ish.
Looking forward to it.

Kev Hi,

Yes mate, you will certainly see us, if not call me 07909742819 we are leaving later than that mad Stephanie and the bunch, for a more gentlemanly runover to the oval! Huge place Kevin, you will be an awe when you get there! The race track was built on wonderland, and "wonder when". I dont think it will be about too much longer as there seems some conspiracy to close it down. The place is an architetural marvel, and should be celebrated as such.

Hi Kev!

Youre gonna have a good run down then!

So am I the only one who has the stamina and motorsport commitment to get there for first race?

I'll still try to get to the Corby BP garage for 9.00, but haven't got done all I wanted to today so may not make it. If I'm not there at 9.00 but get to Rockingham later in the morning I'll keep an eye out for you.

And if I don't get there at all I'll hopefully see you at Ashby on Tues eve

No not forgotten, sorry for that!

Looks like there is no need for me to go to the Trading Post first as all the Ketteringites are gonna be late.

See you at 9!
