i have been for the last couple of years (3 0r 4) its pretty good but like alot of drag strips you tend to get a little bored unlike trackdays, they normally have drifting on aswell
I may be attending the next one, depends how much is in my wallet

My boss goes to this every year, it's a good show apparently, I'll be going along this year.
I guess it's aimed more at the performance cars but there's always a place for a cheeky cube.

Yep, more than just a drag strip. There's loads to see and do, plus you can camp on Saturday night and enjoy the live music in the bar. Hvae a look a the site.

There's also a handling track I've spotted, not sure what it would be like with auto but our turning circle might help.

EnglandIs anybody planning to go? I'm not sure if I can make it yet but for those of you who are it might be good to get a list up here
Though we probably won't be able to get a club stand together (minimum 10 cars).
