Nope. I went last year (and the year before? -- can't rememeber), but I can't justify the cost of the trip and entry this time around.

I will be there on Saturday and looking forward to the aural assault of the drag cars and BRISCA F1's.

So if you see someone with www.timtime.co.uk on their shirt stop me and say hello.

Im going Saturday.
I dont think the drag cars are on during the oval racing show though are they ?
We always go to the oval one (F1 stock cars indoors - awesome) but I would have liked to see the drag racing bit too.

I understood that the very last Live Action Arena display, on Sunday afternoon, was an oval racing special, where a few of the other displays were dropped to make space for a full length race.

Its the last one on the Saturday too.
It is more or less just oval racing. They have a few different formulae on (F1 & F2 stox, hot rods, autograss) which all have races.
The F1 stox are mighty loud in there so can only imagine a pro mod will cause some serious hearing damage !
Might have to see if I can pay to get into one of the earlier shows as well.

good day today, being a trade day (benefits of being an engineering student wink) it was fairly quioet, letting you get around and see what you want/talk to people

lots of shiney stuff on show smile dead stock model A pickup in the auction anyone?

and good to see so many drag racing related people about, with cars, or just motors on display

anyone going over the weekend, I'd get there early, by the afternoon it'll be heaving

Motorpsycho did you see me getting thrown out of the Live Action Arena trackside by some jobsworth who was quite happy for me to stand in exactly the same place yesterday?

Got this from the area I skulked off to though...

I didn't Tog, didn't go to the live action arena

some nice shots though, bet the sound in there was amazing, especially with Andy Robinson's Hemi, and the turbos spooling up on Red Victor smile
