Bruntingthorpe Proving Ground - Sunday August 20th

========================================

 

"On Your Marks" is a great charity day held at Bruntingthorpe, giving people the chance to be passenger in a wide range of sports/supercars while being thrashed around the quarter-mile track at high speeds. The event, organised by Asda employees, is held annually in memory of a popular depot colleague, and raises funds for cancer charity. It is usually only open to Asda employees and family/friends but I am able to obtain a limited number of guest passes to allow our club members into the day. There is also a small number of track passes, allowing you to thrash your Z around the circuit while scaring the jeezus out of donating passengers.

Can I see a show of hands for people who are interested in coming along as a guest, and also people who are interested in taking their Z around the track. A special half-hour instruction takes place before the day starts for those wishing to take it to the track.
