Every year I go fella, love it!!! Its the first show of the season so the weather is always an issue. Last year I got sun burnt and the year before it was freezing and miserable.

Its not one of the big shows so dont expect the best runs or amazing ET's.

But saying that its a great day out with loads of track action and you've got the stunt arena, my eyes are pretty much glued to the track all day to be honest.

Plus you get to walk the entire pits, and you can get right up in the grill of the race teams if thats your bag?

Ill be there with my bro on sunday, DSLR in hand....lets hope the photo comp is racing this month  :grin: :grin:

Hopefully the weather stays warm, Fingers crossed.

I looked through the information onit again and it had Monster Truck's, Motocross stunt's, Drags (Obviously) and loads of other stuff. Can you actually poke around in the pits..? Should be quite interesting if so.  :tongue:

There's a small arena that is used for (Terry Grant stunt show, motorcross and the monster trucks) its only 100 x 50 metres or so but its ok.

As for the pits...absolutely!! its totally open to all as most of the burger wagons and the Pod shop are all down there. Ill be sticking my nose into most tents.  I'm a bit of a sad-o when it comes to sana pod as I'll always come home with some part of broken top fuel engine or some random race memrorbilia.  Last year I bought a fire damaged door from Andy Robinson who races in Pro-Mod..... :rolleyes:
