Right then guys, here we have it!

First of all, lets get the moans out of the way first!!!

A BIG THANKYOU goes to all the guys that emailed me either declines or acceptances (and sent me the cheques!!!!). A not so big thankyou to the people that showed interest, but couldnt even be bothered to email me either way!!!!! If only you people appreciated the amount of time & effort organising an event like this takes. I have done so in the past because of the benefits it gives you and the scene......remember that I DO NOT make any money out of it....and I dont even OWN a Scooby anymore!!!!

Now the moans are over with......

These are the facts as they stand!

Event: Rolling Road Shootout
Venue: Powerstation in Cheltenham
Date : 11th November 2000
Time : Start at 9.30 sharp

People attending (those are people who have been TOLD they are included and have either paid me the money, or have arranged WITH ME to pay on the day).

That means 21 people are running!

CAN PAT, FLOYD & PTHOLT please post on this thread if you are still attending. You will have to pay me on the day, as you havent sent your cheques!!!!!!!

ANYBODY else who wishes to book, POST ON THIS THREAD. I have upto 5 places left so first come first serve!!!!!! NOBODY else can run unless you clear (& PAY) me first!!!!!

There will be a few other cars than Scoobies, like Skylines, EVO's and Cossies. All cars ran will be within there respective groups.

If you have any preference in when you would like to run during the day, please see ME when you arrive.

Can you all please ensure that you arrive at powerstation NO LATER than 9.15. I will be there from 8.15!!!!

WHO'S COVERING THE EVENT
I have managed to organise for FAST CAR to cover the event, so they will be there snapping and asking questions etc. I will also be handing out a questionaire on behalf of FAST CAR, for you lot to fill in PRIOR TO RUNNING for the feature.

PETROL CRISIS
As far as I know there is no problem at the moment, and any impending crisis is not scheduled till next week anyhow.

FLOODING
Thats down to you guys as I dont know whos coming from where.

For directions to Powerstation, please look at the web site

Aaah, so we meet at last Mr Chuckster

According to the Shell Geostar link from the Powerstation site the journey time is 2 hours 36 minutes door to door - although I did set the speed requirement at moderate

I'm sure we can do it better than that

How about 7.15 at thurrock Services, near the pumps for any top up required, and off to Cheltenham.

My wife will be coming, threatening to kill off my credit card apparently Will your good lady be joining us ?

I have sent you a E-Mail but I will post on here as well..

Would I be able to get my hands on two tickets, one for my boss who has a MY99 UK Model Scooby and one for me to run my little Pug if allowed. If I'm not allowed to run my pug, then just one ticket for my boss would be nice.

Would it be possible to come up and watch if I can't get a place??

Many Thanks in advance.

Joe... (And me boss)

P.S. I only live 30 miles away so would be able to make it regardless of fuel or water situation!!!

Anyone on the list coming from the Essex, London, Herts area ????

I'll be coming from the Thurrock services anti clockwise to the M40 and then probably all the way down the M40 and A40 to Cheltenham.

Suggestions from peeps, or shall I just meet you there.

Question

Ok Shaun, Anders has posted on 22B that he wants me to take his place - is that OK?
If so I'm coming over with you Yex, assuming you are a regular motorway cruiser we will have to leave Thurrock at 7.15ish to get there for 9.30 - damn

That sounds OK, I'm just trying to get confirmation from Shaun by email first but it should be alright.

Email/post me your route and we'll meet up somewhere.

Just a note, I work in cheltenham and this weekend there is horse racing on at Cheltenham race course.

Now at the time of the morning that everyone is going it shouldn't be a problem but I thought I would tell ya anyway. SO that might be worth checking..

Nuts !!!! Absolutely barking M8
However, there will be three of us working as a pack.

Danny on point duty, me to provide PIAA persuaders if required, and Chuckster's 22b as a final weapon to any who fail to clear the Scooby lane

Clackett Lane services at 06.30 am.
Yex/Danny, I reckon you will struggle to make it if you leave it that late. It's 2 hours from there!! I will be meeting Rob at the time above by the fuel station at Clackets.

Hope to see you both there.
