Thats what was one of great things about the TC Kidd meets, it was organised so similar cars were on track at same time.. not races just track time. There was a slot for all kinds of things, cracking fun.

Camping is aloud if you fancy it

Decent parking..
BAD POINTS....

May have to pay a small contribution to the club per head .. am waiting on a email for more info!

Not any shelterd areas

I dont think there are any power outlets for chargers etc.

What ya reckon?????? i do need to throw some dates and some attendance figures, so put the word out fellow tc members.

[tamiya monkey]

That sounds great, i dont mind a small charge to the club nor the drive over there, so once dates are sorted i will be there.

[mr nice]

For me its 2hours but its not like its all the time, so dont mind

[Singleseven]

Sounds good, I'd like to come but June will be out for me as my wife is expecting twins (so probably July also, and thinking about it the rest of my life )
i'll keep watching to see what dates are proposed, but for now pencil me in.

No worries as mine wife too is expecting june so it will be before then .. cheers

[fatboyslim]

I'll deffo be there
Be rude not to as it's about 20 minutes drive

[mr nice]

ok then i have had a reply...
The indoor track is £300 per day , limited power surply, tea coffee cold drinks and snacks available to purchase on site?

Or.....Outside track is £85 for the day, no power(unless people bring generaters), a hot food butty van can be arranged to turn up if we are expecting a decent crowd.any weekend days available.

I am thinking of a march or april date to be flexable for everyone, and we need to be looking at how many will be attending so can fix a price per head as i need to let track owner know?

CAN EVERYONE PUT THE WORD OUT AND LET ME KNOW WHO WILL BE ATTENDING

[Percymon]

Much as I'd like to be there its over 3 hours drive for me - sorry guys but I can't do it.

[simondo]

You`ve done really well.

Thats fantastic, the track looks great :-)

Definitely count me in, can`t do easter weekend tho.

I`ll have a word with a couple of people I used to race with back in the day, they might be up for it too.

get the train over to mine mate , i'll give you a lift

[volksrod68]

Count me in, and possibly 4 others, will contact them to let them know the details.

[Chain Driven]

Will probably come along with Mud-plugger.

I think the indoor track would be best just for the Power issue really...

Thing is with the indoor track A1 rent an indoor menage from Arena UK,that's why it's so much dearer
The out door track is thiers,they just rent the land from the local farmer
Power could be an issue but some people have generators failing that then a good 12v battery would do ok
If enough people went and were interested a 4kva genny can be hired for around £100 for the weekend

[Chain Driven]

I'd much rather be outside so if a generator can be organised that's great. I'll happily pay the extra. I just think it's a must to insure nobody's left with flat batteries at mid day, 1/1 or 1/10th

The last Kidderminster was great also because it was outside.

[Mud-Plugger]

Count me in, hopefully it will be warmer than the -3 Degs nightime temperature of the last Kidderminster event!

[Chain Driven]

[mr nice]

Great !

there can be a sandwich van arranged to attend if the numbers are good but a bag of sausage and a bag of burgers will be nice too
