Wheels day

Any Vipers going to Wheels Day on Good Friday??

[fatboy18]

Was thinking the same thing myself? Could be up for it!

If its sunny its not a bad day out. To be honnest its not my favourite venue, I miss the old Brooklands place, theres a slope which you drive down into the basin of the arena, this becomes a bit of a bottle neck getting in and out of the place. Also the traffic through Aldershot can be a nightmare! For anyone attending I would suggest you get there very early

If its wet, remember you will be parking on grass, however its got fairly good drainage and the grass is short.

If anyone has not been to this show before, its mainly American and Hot Rods / Harleys. They have bands playing who generaly play Rockabilly / 50s Rock N Roll

You wont find Ferraris or Lambos there

when where how ?

[fatboy18]

Not sure if we have to book in advance or not? You used to be able to turn up, pay a Fiver to get in (which goes to charity) and that was that!

[fatboy18]

I will give the lads at Surrey Street Rods a buzz in the morning and find out the sp

There will be at least two Vipers going that I know of, both SRT 10's. Best to get there early as the queues are phenominal, i'm aiming to arrive at around 09.00.

you had beat leave at 6AM then

[Gixer]

yes you have to be early to beat the q's and to get the best spots to park up. Think the vettes are meeting at clackets around 0745, leaving at 0800 then meeting up with the other vettes at Fleet services Northbound around 9am.

I'm heading down in the vette with a mate in a Mustang. Probably aim to catch the vettes up after theyve left Clackets

Brooklands was better;)
