Thanks everyone Matt, I'm always trying to do something a little different.

HankScorpio there's a great show coming up next weekend...

Billing Fun Run June 3rd – 5th 2005

Who would believe it; 33 years at Billing and still going strong.
Just in case you’ve missed out on the last 32 years the Fun Run is held at Billing Aquadrome, Great Billing, Northampton (just off the A45).
The weekend will follow the usual format as we think after 32 years we’ve got it about right.
Friday night disco, Tot Rod racing at the on-site Go Kart track Saturday morning, mega cruise Saturday lunchtime, Saturday night disco with live music with Sunday seeing the familiar show & shine in the traditional Billing sunshine with separate show area for the Pop Festival, Under 25’s and Tot Rods. And don’t forget John Price who will be there as usual for the whole weekend.
There is no pre-booking for this event just turn up on the day and pay Billing your camping fees (NSRA members with a valid 2005 membership card will benefit from discounted camping fees). Once settled come and register for the NSRA’s weekend of fun; NSRA members FREE + one guest at £6. Non NSRA members and additional member’s guests £12. Sunday only £6 per car.
So, will there be anything special at Billing this year?
What about a Street Driven Roadster which has went 201.821mph at Bonneville last August?
Yes, the Thacker & Shine Roadster will be displayed on the Duksville Speed Shop’s stand at Billing.

Sadly Jimmy Shine is too busy to attend but Tony Thacker will be there:

“With the help of California Shipping and Kinstown Shipping, we’re bringing the Roadster to England this summer” said owner Tony Thacker.
“Paul at Duksville Speed Shop and Comet Clothing will be handling the UK logistics and our plan is to have the car there in time for Billing before taking it up to The Dove Company in Norfolk. There, McLaren F1 designer Peter Stevens will do some preliminary aero work prior to putting it in the MIRA wind tunnel”.
“Nobody has ever put a hot rod in a wind tunnel” continued Thacker, “and we want to see how much we can improve the aerodynamics within the rules. Our plan is then to return to the States, install a new motor, go back to Bonneville in October and try to get a record at over 200mph. HOT ROD magazine as well as HOT ROD TV and even Custom Car will cover the project.
Bonneville racing is never easy so everything we can learn will help” concluded Thacker.

Alas, I'm at Brands this weekend.
Brooklands is great for me as it's just down the road and I love the museum as well.

Ah well, just have to keep my eyes open for further events.

Maybe that could be something we could have a "sticky" for, possible photogenic car related events...?

The first dashboard shot is fantastic. Did you use a filter on that, or is it post?
