What were the exhibitors like? I spoke to the organiser a couple of weeks ago and after the conversation I had with him - couldn't really be bothered to take it any further. Whilst every other exhibition organiser are cutting their prices this one seemed expensive.

Apart from being F'in cold I managed to buy an immersion heater spanner for 50p so it was a worthwhile trip.

Some poor fker in front of me who had to pay to get in was ripped off £25 for himself and a small child.

Got down there for about 9:30, went and got some food (Brands is not to bad for this). Then off to get in and have a look about. Almost no one showing any thing apart from the people doing laps.
Got a let a helmet for free (Brands being good again as I did not get a chance to pick my one up).
Radical were just a bit rude to me as I think thay were with and one that did not have a check book in there hand.
The other team I went too were very good but just booked up to 3pm. With nothing for do from 11am to 3pm and there was as such no show apart from driving or beeing driven in one of the track cars, I went home.

Over all it looked like a good idear badly run. The Brands staff were very good and help full. The people down there running cars did not seem to quite know what they were doing down there. Selling some thing or just letting people have a go in there cars?
So for both puntters and exibiters it was more of a wast of time then any thing else.

I got sent a free ticket but would have felt very ripped of if i'd paid £15 to get in as there was very little there.

I'm surprised that there weren't more clubs there as most people involved in the sport are enthusiasts. I arrived expecting the paddock to be full but in reality it was all squeezed in behind the pits.

I wonder if it was very expensive for the clubs and exhibitors and therefore relatively few were there.
