The track will be setup in the morning to whatever the drifters would like, and we will have a track change at lunch time too if anyone wants to.
 
I gather its arrive on the day and pay and play?

Thinking about popping along for a bit. I gather from the two vids I've Seen on YouTube it's all concrete?
 
Yes its an old WW2 airfield made from concrete. Arrive and pay cash on the day. All spectators are FREE! So come and have a look if you like.
 
The only issue for me driving is that, my licence is currently in the hands of the courts while I get my points on won't be happening until 23rd October.........

I've recently renewed my license and still got my old one, is there a way I can still get on?
 
Thanks a lot! Everyone is welcome and all spectators are FREE! Set yourself as going under the facebook event on our page to get the latest news.
 
The plan tomorrow is to turn up around 9am, drivers briefing 9:15, stat at 9:30. Stop around 12pm for lunch and to change the track if the drifters want. Finish at 4pm.
 
Gutted I can't make this tomorrow. I desperately wanted tomorrow to be a test day for the car before Matsuri but I've still not finished the car!!!

Being just 15 miles down the road though I'm sure I'll be along soon enough.
 
nice chilled atmosphere... no pressure ... tyre guys on it... decent weather that day ... flowing nicely in second buy the end of the day.. bit bumpy but to be expected ...I reckon some mud soil in the pot holes just for a temp fix! :0)
 
Thanks a lot for nice review Rover Gaz! Were looking to fill in the pot holes with cement once we get permission from the owner.
