Good news! Ive spoken to Andy earlier tonight and it looks like there will be an unofficial run to Brighton, on probably the 14th of sept to coincide with the speed trials.Andy is going to try and speak to some one from the council about any parking arangements,I must stress (TRY) coz as any one knows its hard to get help from councils at the best of times!!!!I will need to know about numbers coming in order to inform Andy my e-mail adress is SPEEDWARRIOR2@TALK21.COM.(SORRY FOR THE EARLIER INCORRECT E-MAIL ADD.THIS IS THE CORRECT ONE) look forward to hearing from you! would 100 cars be possible???

Just treid 3 times to send you an e mail but keep getting "mail delivery problems".

I would definitely do the London to Brighton run and would really appreciate a parking space.

I should be there for the speed trials, a cruise down would be good, a parking space not next to repmobile/micra/scrote better

Same story with the e-mail

Bugger !

I'm going to miss this years speed trials ad subsequent run down there. Went to the trials for the first time last year and found it fascinating...

Ah well, will be at Folembray instead though

Same email problem here, but count us in for the run. Maybe Ted would add this to the Events so you could keep a track of numbers that way?

Bluethunder : Count me in for 14th, never been to the speed trials before and have always wanted to, so with the extra incentive of the run I've got no excuse. (Unless it's raining, as previously mentioned i've got no roof/windows!)

Count another one in for the party!

Anyone know if any road/race cars are competing - good to have someone to cheer for

Should be up for this, what time are we meeting and where?

If you want a decent number of cars maybe you should contact the local RO’s?

Bring your old F3 cars, FFord, souped-up dragsters and have a standing quarter mile along the very straight road on the marina (down below not the main road!). It's quite a laugh to see what goes up and down!

I remember they used to do those in Blackpool, exactly the same concept (1984!). Even got some photos somewhere.

same problems with the e-mail. Would be interested though don't think i can ask for a parking space (or at least not one near incorrigible) as I only have a T4 aka repmobile !! When are you leaving and what route are you taking??....

Count me in. Will join you along the run somewhere. Incorrigible - Fancy a convoy down from around Guildford somewhere?

Jas,
looks like early is the best time to get there, Bluethunder was talking about parking up ~9 ish, so somewhere around the A281 / A24 or A264 / A23 junctions ~8:30 or I know a couple of good cafes on the way (or when we get there) for early / late starters
Just pray for less g numpties this time
Where's everyone else coming from
