The Eightball Rally has arrived!!
THE EIGHTBALL RALLY HAS ARRIVED!
Hi all,
This is to formally announce the launch of the Eightball Rally 2006! After months of planning- it's finally here...
It will be an exclusive, never-been-seen-before motoring extravaganza!
The Eightball Rally will be a 4-day rally around the UK- a celebration of fun and adventure for Japanese Sports Car enthusiasts.
For too long now, owners of Japanese Performance Cars occasionally chat on Web forums, rarely go to track days, and give each other a nod when passing in the street. They don’t have an opportunity to get out there with like-minded people and celebrate what draws them to their awesome cars: a love of fine engineering, style and speed!
It will be held between 27th-30th May, and will be on public roads. It will include the Midlands, Welsh Mountains, and Scottish Highlands, and will finish up in a track day at Croft Racing Circuit, with free professional tuition!
The event is designed primarily to be a pure celebration-- to get people together to go on an adventure...
It is also non-profit making, and is budgeted at cost so it is accessible to all.
It's really going to be fun; and designed with the driver in mind, so will cover all the best driving roads, the best cars and the best environment. The stopovers will be in good quality hotels, and the rest stops will be good hearty food.
The type of cars will all be Japanese imports, so you can expect plenty of Skylines, RX7s, Scoobys, and Supras; mostly all modified.
It is covered on standard insurance, so all you need is some clean underpants and your driving license!
The (approximate) cost will be £500 per driver (with car) and £275 per passenger. This will cover entrance fees, accomodation, food, events, entertainment, the track day, and professional tuition from racing drivers!
The launch event is on Tuesday 17th (next Tuesday)- a fantastic chance to come down and find out about it.
Moshi Moshi, Bartholomew Square, Brighton BN1 1JS, at 2.00pm.
PLEASE PM me or email 8ballrally@gmail.com so I know numbers!
There will be free sushi, demo cars, girls in lingerie, and information on the rally.
If you need any info, please e-mail me!

This sounds like a great idea, good luck with it, wish I could have a go 
One thing puzzles me though, why if it's a rally based around the midlands, wales and scotland, are you having the initial meet in Brighton? Bit far to travel for those coming from Scotland surely?
Sounds like a blast though, have a good time,

Somewhere as central as possible.
Somewhere like Northampton?

The launch event planned for the press had to be cancelled at the very last minute- apologies Vas for not being there.
It's being rescheduled, I'll have more info on it soon.
I've got plenty more info to be posted, as the accommodation is now sorted and the route set.
The day is very near that it will be officially launched, and after a long time of hard work it's all coming together beautifully...
If you'd like any info, please PM me; or e-mail 8ballrally@gmail.com.

UPDATE
UPDATE:
The route is now planned and set, the hotels have now been booked, and the track day is confirmed.
There will be some professional racing drivers coming down to give free tuition too...
£500 per car, £275 for two.
Included:
~ All entry fees
~ Accommodation for three nights (valued at £250pp)
With: Three course Dinner, and Full English or Continental Breakfast
~ Entertainment
~ Track day admission (valued at £165pp)
~ Track day briefing, and professional race tuition (valued at £175pp)
~ Full race stickers
~ Participants ID badges
~ Maps and Route Cards per stage
~ Celebration and award ceremony, with prizes
The total value is MORE that the cost of the rally- I managed to get group discounts...
Again- this Rally is cost price only, and will be a fantastic adventure away over the bank holiday weekend!
It would be great to have some owners clubs there, representing the Scoobs!
e-mail 8ballrally@gmail.com if you have any questions or would like to reserve a place!
