Nope no tickets yet , Im finding out about what ythey want us to do regarding tickets when i call there office tommorow , Ideally pay on the day as it's late to start paying for tickets now
Id be very suprised if you can get in the pitlane , I Know the TA Cars will be here & they have only been allocated a very limited number of passes for pitlanne access

Nightmare day today :(
**** me how hard is it to get a few cars parked up @ a show
Called Abbie @ the " Live promotions " Office today & as i thought through various e mails , This whole show / Set up seems to be a money grabbing event
She wants me to pay up front for a club stand @ £ 30 Each for a " Show Car " & £35 Each for every passenger
Im sorry but im not forking out over £300 Just to park a few cars @ a show.
Im not to keen on going to Donnington & parking in the general car park either ( Heard lots of horror stories of pikies , nicking parts of cars , Stealing cars etc , So general parking for me is out of the question
As it stands im 99% bailing out of this now
Sorry guys i gave it my best shot , I Will be supporting @ a couple of the other rounds where the guys @ TA Sort the club parking & not some tart sat in an office

Perhaps a group email with those pictures attached should be sent to the lovely Abbie in the " Live Promotions " Office.
And a request that they should be paying US to risk bringing our cars.

Mark is pi$$ed off that there are vultures out there

I might go in the Sport Wagon, with 2 sets of locking wheel nuts
I'll have a couple of spare seats if anyone is interested

Yes matt , Nail on the head that comment mate
The bird @ Live promotions was more than happy to tell me ...
" Well Sir to show your car it's going to cost you £30 & £35 For everyone of your passengers ""
With an anticapated 1800 Cars attending , Its not rocket science
Rob Barnes ( Time attack ) Has been in touch & promises to sort us out with proper allocated parking & future TA Events where LP Are not involved with the organising
Oulton Park & Snetterton The ESC Massive will be parking safetly

All spaces in the pitlane are pre-allocated, you maybe lucky and just leave your car in there and hope - I did that last year, but there are twice as many teams this year, so they will prob be stricter.
Failing that there is a fenced off parking area for trailers/transporters/support vehicles. This area is covered by the security guard at the barrier.

Guys, the way the show organisers have behaved is poor.
But please don't lose sight of the fact that the reason for going was not the ISTS show, but to watch some of the finest modified cars in the country compete in Time Attack and Support Mike at the first round.
An awful lot of effort has gone into getting Mikes car ready for this year, including the efforts of many people on here, so please don't let the ISTS's poor attitude reflect on the real event, I know Mike would be thrilled to get as much ESC stylee support as possible.
Cheers
Neil
