We have just got back from the above event so if you fancy it you will have to put it in the diary for next year, loads of car and bike clubs showing their vehicles,
Some folk didn't want to pay so dropped it by parachute
Loads of nice cars,
This one is supposed to be making 2,800 bhp
They set up a drag strip and small circuit so the guys could give some of the race cars, bikes and carts a run out
A bit of a Petrol head type event I guess but the girls enjoyed it as well as there were some vintage clothes shops
Home made caravan,
There was some vintage flying but not a lot to be honest, we did get a Hurricane fly past,
We camped with one of the DA's of the Caravan and Motorhome club but they quickly showed their roots when we turned up plus a 9.4m Concorde, "it's too big, you should have told us, you will block the fire break" they did have 6 metres in between rows, apart from the attitude and then being relocated to overlook the elsan point, toilets and generator we had a great time (we turned the generator off) to the gratitude of others around us.
Oh and Nigel Sundowners we found your old Flair pulling a trailer with a V8 A60 pick up drag car, still going strong and bought from the guy you sold to apparently.
jongood you would love this, GT550, RG500's on the track E types in the show, 3 x GT40's

. The Merlin engine is only used on track ,it was run creating a lot of smoke, flames and noise, not given full throttle as track too short. My neighbour was running his sit up and beg Ford pop ( with small block Chevy engine
) said they were not that pleased with the jet engine running as it is fuelled by a diesel mixture that leaves the track greasy. Nice social event, if you take youngsters be prepared to pay, rides we’re expensive as well as food and drink. Tray of chips £5 pint of beer £6.60, but always going to be costly with captive audience. Not sure how much entry cost is , I only had to pay £5 for the weekend as displaying my car
