If the car is put onto the club stand, can it be easily removed for track time?

by **racermike** Wed 25 Feb 2009, 01:18

by **Simon** Wed 25 Feb 2009, 02:32

by **curl666** Tue 17 Mar 2009, 08:27

What time does the show usually finish?

How long a drive is it up to Rockingham?

Would we be convoying up on the Saturday, or early sunday morning?

well it takes about 4-4.5 hours from mine (whitland west wales)to the show, i stop in the services at the M50-M5 junction for a bit of breakfast, in the past I've traveled up on the sat afternoon had a few drinks in the hotel and then to the show sunday, I've also traveled up and back in the same day (but wont be doing that again) last year we traveled up sunday morning stayed in a hotel sunday night (few drinks) head home mid day Monday.

I'm up for any of the above as long as everyone else is up for it.

Show officially finishes about 6pm but i ussually leave about 3 as it starts getting quiet then anyway

Show opens at 9 which means we have to be on the stand and parked up before then, i try to aim to arrive around 7.30

by **curl666** Tue 17 Mar 2009, 09:05

So if we are leaving sunday morning, it would be a 3 or 4am start? ouch Smile

If we are crossing the severn bridge on the way back, all stop before the toll, and connect tow ropes to each others car. One with the most torque up front. That way we only pay for the 1 car, 10 cars = 50p each Smile

by **Simon** Tue 17 Mar 2009, 09:12

we dont go near the bridge we go off the M4 in Newport go up the a449 on to the M50 then M5 M42 M6 and we're there more or less

by **curl666** Tue 17 Mar 2009, 09:31
