Should be a good day, just thrown a bucket of water over her and quick wipe with a stiff chammy ready for tomorrow.
Family was also coming along, until I said we would have to be up at 6:30 in the morning...!

Hi Benny

Any tickets left for this? Looking for tickets for two cars Ideally. If so, what time would we need to be there?

I'm sure we can sort something out. Why not meet us at Lymm services between 8 - 8.20am, leaving at 8.30am.

Good day, thanks for arranging.
Loads to see and watch, I especially liked the Rover SD1 touring cars...I'm sure they must have slipped the noise marshal a tenner or two!!

Yep cheers to Benny and Dave for sorting it all out. Apparently we were meant to be parked much closer to the action but some bleeps had taken our spot with their trailers/mobile homes and Dave flipped his lid. 170 cars were then parked very sporadically around the concrete infield.

A great day out with some excellent racing especially the Touring cars where the two Accords were battling hard to first place.

Great to meet Mike and few of the Northern contingency as well.

Thanks Phil, likewise, always nice to put a face to a name.

Sorry we missed most people but the joys of the M62 meant we were lucky to be there at all. Was going to try to slip into the paddock but was headed off by Dave and had to park behind the army displays.

A good day as always and thanks to Benny for organising (and walking back to the gates with our tickets). Those Rovers were a blast but the Super Tourings were great as well.

Thanks Ben (SIC) for organising, much appreciated.

As like last year, a lovely relaxing chilled day.

Good to see everyone again.

That's a shame I missed seeing you in your new ride, had a walk behind the army displays too.

That makes sense , no wonder he was annoyed , porsche club in pride of place, Italian display looking like it's part of the car park .

No worries guys, I'm glad you all had a good day out. Btw, David does all the organising, I'm just the Maser rep! It's the first time I've given the spyder a blast since coming back from Le Mans and now she is all prepped for the Spain trip! Good to see lots of old faces again, not so sure about the ginger one!

Sounds like you all had a good day out. Appologies i couldnt make this one as it clashed with working all weekend for the scarecrow festival.
