I posted a thread in here yesterday titled "An open invitation?" and now its gone? anyone care to illuminate me as to where it went?

Was an invitation to a Drag Race/Top Speed day to be held for charity.. (non profit organisation!)

Someone delete it? Did i do something wrong?

Well anyway I was hoping you guys would be interested in upsetting some Supercar owning Egos at RAF Woodbridge on the 20th August 2005. (Saturday!)

Please see [url]www.tv2005.co.uk[/url] for details and do not hesitate to contact me with any questions you may have dmc@tv2005.co.uk

Cheers

Our apologies. Obviously charity events aren't an issue.

We've had a spate of people trying to promote all sorts of commercial events this week via the forums and this was mistaken for one of them.

By all means send some details to news at pistonheads.com and we'll give editorial space - we'll reach more people that way.

Many thanks for that!!

Wahey - glad The Ult is coming. My Sports is just watching. I think my ZZ4 rpm limit plus gearing would limit me to a lowly 156mph. So I'll get my kicks by just telling everyone it's got 600bhp and can do 202mph.

Apologies for not reading the website beforehand,ill see everyone there, im hankering after a ride as my 180 bhp dosnt quite cut the mustard.

Maybe a good idea to offer charity 'runs' for £10 a go?
