Please could i be added to the list-

Woods1 - Lee woods - s14a(sxoc)

Great to see theres still good will in people these days and the community is getting behind this.

Ive looked through a lot of this thread, but i must say im a tad worried that some1, whether its a guy walking his dog or an old biddy walking sees a load of cars and loud exhaust, thinks were all racing around, they phone the police, and the local police turns up with a load of VOSA vans and ruins the whole point of the day :-/

Im sure that wont happen and it will be a great day, just vocing my concerns

Kevin Connors grandad

HI GrumpYPants!

Was great to meet you and was a real pleasure to have Connor spend some of the day hanging out as a Team Japspeed member.

He was a very polite well mannered young man and he looked like he was really enjoying himself!

Just to give those of you on the forum an idea to what Connor got up to:

Scott (ZIPPY) and the family introduced themselves, along with a photographer that had been provided by Carl @ extreme magazine who was following Connor for the day Snapping every moment.

After the hello's Motty the BDC commentator took Connor on a BDC tour of the paddock and every driver he could see! Making sure to blag every possible merchandise he could along the way!
Poor Grandad (GrumpyPants) soon had his arms full with good bag from almost every Drift team there!

A quick walk over to the Speedhunters Stand and Connor was introduced to Americas Formula Drift stars Darren McNamara (DMAC) And Fredric Aasbo A few extra stickers and bits and bobs in Grandad's Bag and Connor had a picture and a signed poster from both drivers.

DMAC then told Connor to jump in his Speedhunters Rotory powered AE86 for some photographs. Sat in the drivers seat DMAC was asking him for some drifting tips Connors face was a picture.

His smile from ear to ear!!! Motty then got them all some VIP bands to gain Access into the Brooklands suite where they could watch the drifting from the best seats in the house!

Not even Team Japspeed Drivers can get in the BDC VIP area!

Back over to the Japspeed Pits and Connor was looking tired but you could see he was battling through to enjoy every bit of the day!

The drivers Shane Lynch and Steve "Baggsy" Biagioni took pictures and provided Connor with some Autographs and a T-Shirt!

Now at this point the Drivers had some duties to attend too, but rather then meet up with Connor later, Shane walked over to the Drivers signing with Connor and Baggsy!
Baggsy added another chair to the line up of the UK's Best 26 Drifters and perched Connor in-between them both!

Shane looked at Connor, handed him a pen and told him "Here.... Get signing your name!"

Connor was like a superstar with the general public getting 27 signatures instead of the 26!!!

After a while Connors attention span seemed to be "drifting" off and he ended up taking one of the Japspeed Signing cards and defacing Driver Baggsy's Face, much to the delight of Team mate Shane Lynch who has now kept the card as a souvenir!! Honestly Connor had us all in fits of laughter!

It was now getting close to the Top 16 Battles where all of our drivers had qualified. With this Connor and his family said there good Byes and kindly left the Team to get on with making sure the cars we ready.

Secretly I knew where they were heading!! Up to the 3rd floor of the Brooklands Stand to watch the drifting from the comfort of the BDC VIP area and grab something to eat.

I've gotta say tho guys in the small time we spent with Connor everyone in the Team Japspeed Camp commented on what an impression he had made on us all!
He found a little place in the heart of us all, and not only do we hope he had a great day we would like to thank Connor for making ours extra special!

He brought a smile to us all, made Shane laugh for the rest of the day,
Gave us an insight to what Baggsy would look like with rabbit ears thanks to his great drawings!

Gave tips to Drifting legend DMAC who came 4th! ( Thanks for the help Connor!) and watched Team Japspeed's Paul Smokey smith grab second place on the podium!

SO ALL THATS LEFT IS FOR TEAM JAPSPEED TO SAY A MASSIVE THANKS FOR CONNOR AND HIS FAMILY FOR COMING TO SEE US!!

AND MOST OF ALL THANKS TO CONNOR FOR ENTERTAINING US FOR THE DAY!!!

Last few posts have gotten me thinking, are there other ways folk can help out? Do things still need to be done / help required elsewhere? Perhaps volunteers for marshalling / filming etc?

Regarding that last point, I'm about to buy a GoPro to film the days events in HD, I've also set up a Tumblr blog (http://connorsday2012.tumblr.com/ - currently password protected until approved) where I'm gonna upload my content (it'll also be set to public to let others submit their content too, all moderated of course).

If that's a welcome addition, I'd need help with moderation from folk here (perhaps the admin of http://www.interlifedesigns.net/connor/ could embed it on that site and provide moderation assistance, as well as perhaps the mods here? Scott and Kevin etc?).

If not, I'll delete it immediately. My aim here is to help, not hinder and I'll do whatever is required.

A brief announcement over filming / photography for the day would also help too, clarify if / whether people are permitted to film Connor, family and events on the day.

Why don't you aim to get there for 10 and help us Marshall? I've not heard anyone say anything about filming, I shall be taking my camera, and I think Alex Roy is bringing a camera crew.

I will be wandering round with my DSLR and video camera - i have the opinion that the more lenses that are around on the day the better as it is all photos/footage that Connors family can use to remember him with

As Jamo said if you want to help out just get to the meet for 10 and help marshal the event

Hello Zippy, I'm sorry to hear this. I do have 2 children and it hurts to hear something like this.

I'm a moderator over at Maxima.org and one of my fellow moderators came across this thread and wanted to show support.

Please tell your son we over at Maxima.org said hello and print my pic out for him to keep in his room. This is a pic of my G8 GT:

Blessings and prayers to your and your family.

With over 30 photographers on hand to photograph the BDC and most of the drivers aware of what was going on there will most certainly be some photos that i will add to the thread!

I know that Carl @extreme magazine provided a photographer for the day so there should be loads!

We get lots of requests from people asking us to support them with events/charities etc. We cant always get involved and help however this was special.
It was a member of a community, one of the Scoobynet family and we wanted to be there to support Zippy.

Providing Connor with a fun day was something we could do, so we did it!

It was a privilege and an honour! and no thanks is required!!!

Brilliant to see all the support.

If you're interested, I put the feelers out this morning for permission to show Connor round some of our fast jets and Battle of Britain aircraft at Coningsby. I've had no official word yet, but the underlying feeling at the moment is that people are happy to support. I'm a RAF photographer myself, so as wel as showing you guys round I'll make sure you have a few photo souvenirs. I'll also be bringing my camera kit this weekend, so if you see a black RX7, give me a shout and we can talk further.

As before, my email address is Rogue86@live.co.uk if you wish to discuss privately.

Excellent photo there he looks so happy and I'm well happy to see his smiling face.
Glad you had a great day and thanks to ed and the team for the hospitality they gave Connor.
It just puts this cause into more perspective after seeing his happy face, and such a cute young lad too.

Hey zippy,Connor and family,been reading this thread for a few days now,words just fail me at how cruel life can be sometimes, I have 3 children myself,the eldest is Connors age and the Terrible news you had recently just doesn't bare thinking about!!! so so sorry from the bottom of my heart!
This thread has brought tears and smiles in equal measure,the way the whole community around the UK and rest of the world has come together for this very special little boy is amazing,makes me proud to be human!
A couple of us may be coming up from Weymouth in our scoobys to be apart of connors day!!
You are all amazing people,keep up the great work guys
