help for heroes drag/track day/show
 

hi every 1 seeing if any one would be interested in this im in the army and stationed at waterbeach just outside cambridge and on the side of my camp is a big airfeild:norty: so thinking of planning a bit of a fund raiser for help for heroes doing abit of a drag strip and handleing circuit and show and seeing if i could get a mobile rolling road to tip up and some trader stands maybe would any 1 be interested in this would be around july/august time would try and keep prices below £20 all cash going to help for heroes

any input/idea's would be appreciated has any 1 done anything like this before that could point me in the right direction

planning on having the day open to all not just subaru's and contacting some local car clubs

that sounds like a really good idea mate. sure someone on here has experience of organising such a thing.

yeah i hope so its things like were to get timing stuff from ect and got to get permission from the big boss on camp but cant see a reason why not

ill be up for this

could be worth getting in touch with a car mag, and see if they will help set it up. as they will have people with 1/4 mile gear, etc etc

Sounds like a good idea mate.
Keep us all posted with progress, and good luck with it :thumb:

sounds like a good idea mate if not atleast they should be able to point me in the right direction

will do mate its all on the big man saying yes at the moment but even if he says no il look into doing it somwere else

i looked into this when i had my FTO at Wittering and the owner of the airfield said you had to have insurance that covers you up to £1m

but that was on a active airfield etc, then there was all the security for vetting people on etc

i hope that helps out a little with maybe what to look in to

i know different airfields different rules etc but thought it may help
regards
mark

yeah cheers i did think about insurance and prob need emergency servies or somthing in case there is a accident think im gonna get a plan together and the propose the idea to him

Defo Beds and Bucks Scoobys would be very interested in attending if this goes ahead, keep us posted :D

They do this at Thorney Island, so you could get in touch with them to see how they organise it

I'll be up for coming if you get it sorted :)

cheers for the interest guys will keep updated

RAF Marham do a couple of track days each year but it is a lot of hard work. Insurance, marshalls, safety crews, catering etc.

It might be worth having a chat with a guy called George Denman at Marham who organises these days. He could fill you in on what's invloved.

cheers mate have you got any contact details for him you could pm me

I would be up for this as well, only live up the road and pass it everyday on my way to and from work, sounds like a great idea, what sort of condition is the runway in?
