This idea is still on. Probably late next year. Don''t give up on this, Neil.

It maybe a little late to join in as the cut off date was last mon to send your application forms off. There will be plenty of rc action though if you are visiting, Neil.

Hi folks. I think when this venture gets off the ground, it will be next year. Do send me your ideas on where and how to do this. I have not given up on this, Just hit a major snag when the venue was denied to us. Keep on truckin, Neil.

Not a bad idea! Only a few miles from M1 and reasonably central to the UK. Thanks. Neil.

As far as AT car park is concerned, they can jolly well kiss my butt! I'd rather approach Blackpool pleasure beach than them now. They had a chance of some publicity. I'm thinking of approaching Snetterton track in Norfok, Is this a good idea? Another possibillity is Ford's parts centre in Daventry. This is a nice central to the UK venue. Any more ideas out there? Neil.

BAD BAD NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!An e mail has just reached me. Dear Neil, Many thanks for your letter received recently. Having reviewed your request, I'm afraid it is not something that we wish to pursue at present, but we shall keep your details on file should any opportunities arise. Thank you for taking the time to approach Alton Towers with your idea. Regards, Rachael As you can see, A bit of a blow. Okay AT is out. I have not give up on the venture. It will probably not be this year, but I will be up to do this, Guinness have expressed an interest so it is doable.Any ideas, let me know. Thank you for your support, Neil.

I now have sent letters out to AT people, Just waiting for a reply. Guinness have sent me the forms to fill so it looks as though they should be involved. i may look into expanding the event for you lot who run other stuff. Will see. Just a note, could you all keep to the topic in hand here, Will e mail Truckfest Haydock park details if you e mail me direct. Thanks, Neil.

David March is the man to see. He will be at Gaydon next month or e mail me and I will give you his number. Neil

After talking to many truckers last weekend at truckfest, I had loads of interest for this venture. I will try my damndest to sort something out. may be early October now as it may clash with other shows. Thanks folks, Neil.

Still trying to contact people regarding this venture. Will be at TRUCKFEST bank holl weekend at Peterborough if you want to contact me there in person.Neil.

Hi folks, I have just sent an e mail off to the Towers regarding such an event . With a bit of luck, I should hear something tonight when I go to work. The LAN truck would be great! Neil.

Hi again, If we could get enough trucks to fill in ALL the frequencies together then we could at least be the FIRST to run that quantity of trucks. Are there any 'split' crystals for 40 meg? I know they are available for 27 meg. I need to know how much support I have in this venture before I approach Towers managers. It is a waste of time asking them for discounts etc.... if there is not going to be enough trucks to make it a big publicity tool for them. I'm sure a decent hotel rate could be had if the run is in mid September as this is basicaly low season to them. I am prepared to do the legwork, but to make it work I NEED YOU ALL to support me. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thank you all, Neil.

I thorght you two would be in, I just need to find out just how many we could run due to the restricted number of available crystals. I could do with some help in this venture. Any takers? neil.

I have an idea to possibly organise a convoy of trucks and i'm just seeing if there is enough interest out there to persue the idea further. I have got 9 trucks to run together at the Commercial Vehicle Museum at Leyland, lancs last year (and hopefull on the 9th April this year), and thorght it would be great to try to make some sort of record attempt. I have not long started a driving job at Alton Towers Ammusement park, near my home town in Staffordshire and I feel this would make a great venue to hold such an event. It has two hotels on site and plenty of space to run trucks. I don't want to go asking for permission until I can prove that there is enough interest. I'm hoping to get us all together in September time when the kids go back to school. Hopefully a deal could be had for park tickets and rooms this time of year. What do you all think? Fancy a party?[<)] Neil.

NARTM Church Lawton show a big success!! Thanks to all who turned up on such a cold and sh***y day. We actually made a good profit considering what we were up against and all thorght thr RC's were a major factor. Well done all! Neil.
