Default Thorney Island Car Show - 1/4 mile drag strip - 17 & 18 July

Anyone know much about this??

It is on 17/18 July - I've seen snippets here and there but does anyone know more about it - I can't find an official website or anything like that.

Cheers

Terry

Hi Guys

Found out about this last year, turned up a bit late but quite a good day. They had a huge show there last year, loads of Army vehicles, Harleys some hotrods, small fair etc and yes the all important 1/4 mile strip. Motorbikes and cars were giving there all down the strip.

Think it's organised by these people:

Terry, as far as I know it cost £5 to get in and £25 for the runs(as many as you can fit in). The only trouble is there is a Burning Bournemouth meet that evening along with another Waterloovile meet organised by the c-side cruiser boys so would imagine that there will be hundreds of boy racers wanting to do the runs so not sure how many runs you'd get for your £25.

It seems that Bondy is right, the e-mail I got back directed me to the site he has posted up...
