For those of you who were there last year, and remember how much fun we had - well we have been invited back again on Sunday 18th June http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif

Each car club coming along will have it's own display area for all the cars, and all will be entered into a competition for the nicest looking car, and there will also be a Hi-Fi sound-off competition, based on sound quality as opposed to volume levels.

As well as this, the small sprint track will also be in operation the whole day, and you can make as many runs as you like for a small amount of money (It was £5 last year). I'm not sure whether they will be running the fastest car of the day competition again, where all the cars get timed around the track, but if they do, then I'm sure the Imprezas will do well again (they won, beating some cossies, TVRs and a Lotus Carlton!)

If you are thinking of coming along, then please let me know (you don't need to confirm), so that we can get a suitable sized area display allocated to us. Last year we outgrew our initial allocation, and had to get another group to move over http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif

See you all there http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif

I'll come along.

Ken

I'll probably be there...

...don't know what in though http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/rolleyes.gif

'Fraid I won't be able to make Alford, John, I'll be at Le Mans that weekend.

Bollocks. Was going to come.
But I'm returning from a brief holiday on the West coast.

Apologies

Is this XR club day/RS or who?.
Capri owners day last year was ok,
Count me in.

John,

See you there. Car not in concours condition after I reversed it into a stone dyke.

John, is this the Alford in Lincolnshire? If so i'll try and make it. May well be a bit late due to brothers wedding day before though!! If it's not the Lincolnshire Alford, I won't be there. More details i.e. times etc would be appreciated. cheers pumpers.

This is the Alford in Aberdeenshire (is there another one ???).

Should be a great day out, and a chance for those of you who have well polished cars, a good sound system, or are handy on the track to show your stuff http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif

Here's a map of how to get there....

sorry john, don't think i can make that far. pumpers.

John - I guess you'll post times & more info at some stage?

http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif
I can't wait. My first meet with you bunch of fanantical nutters! http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif I hope to keep it on the black bit if at all possible...

MY00 5dr with "turbo 'L' plates" http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/redface.gif and no mods yet (apart from me' engine warmer - but that doesn't really count).

Keen to see peoples' mods to their cars (eg SS exhausts and air filters etc).

Swa

I'll be there, just bought myself a Impreza after many years of dreaming about one, I look forward to meeting everyone.

SS

JohnS,

Some 'tick questions here ... sorry ... this is all new to me. http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/redface.gif

Sprint track - this is not a complete lap? - Is that correct? I went to watch a 'Sprint' at Aintree one time where they didn't complete a full lap.
You said 'small sprint track' - how small is small? I've been round Knockhill (backwards on a '''Rally''' day!).

I assume that I will need track cover?
I have done a search and Eggar Lawson seems to be mentioned quite a lot so maybe I'll try them?

Last year cars were doing two laps, each approx 1/2 mile in length. The track is just wide enough for one car.

Track insurance - I wouldn't bother, as you will be the only car on the track at a time. Not massive amounts of run-off area, but enough to get you out of any trouble. Just remember to keep off the grass http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif

Mr Wax Wizard is currently off on the Gumball Rally, keeping all sorts of exotic cars clean and shiny during a week long trek through Europe. Mark will be at the Alford event himself.

Ok thanks..
Sounds like we'll need to keep it reasonably neat and tidy to stay on the black bit then!

John,

I'll be there to see if I can retain the shiniest Impreza on the day prize, then again my car was only 2 days old!!!!

Rob.

Just brining it back to the top so no-one forgets about this weekend http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif

Any Details about Saturday John ?

I think we'll abandon the idea of doing something on the Saturday afternoon, as most people have other plans (something to do with getting a pass for the Sunday http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif).

Saturday evening is still a possibility, and the suggestion was for about 7:30 - 8pm in the Prince of Wales. I'll see how many people respond to this message, saying that they would like to come out for a few beers and a bit to eat on the Saturday evening, and we'll take it from there http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif

It'll give me more time to clean the car like those RS boys.

Now where did I put that toothbrush ?
