I am the groundsman at the local cricket club and have booked the ground for the above weekend for a car meet.

 

My plan is make it something like JAE but just with the 300zx club to start with as it will be the first event of this type that I have organised.

 

I am looking to get around 50 cars to enter as a competition. There will be an entry fee to the competition to pay for trophies etc. and if I get enough interest then a band/disco could also be booked. There is a social club at the site with a bar and toilet facilities. There is a similar event held here for bikes which has been going for around 5 years which has turned into a great success.

 

There are a couple of places in the village that do B&B but people are more than welcome to camp overnight if they want. If people are wishing to camp there would perhaps be a small fee for this as well so that the toilets and shower facilities could be made available.

 

The event will be held in Great Offley. The village is about 15 minutes from junction 10 on the M1 and around the same from junction 8 on the A1. Here’s a map

I am posting this thread up to gauge any interest in this event. If you could post underneath if you are interested it would be most appreciated.

Cheers for the response mate. This is what I am after from people. A commitment one way or the other. At least then I know who has looked at the thread. We have over a thousand members at the moment, this thread has around 350 hits but there are only 30 odd posts.

 

Thanks for the interest.

I would like to see all the northerners turn up as well. Lets make it a proper club meet. All are welcome to camp and I can probably arrange some B&B's for those that don't have tents.

 

Thanks for the support Joely P.

 

The more the merrier.

 

Darrell

put me down as a maybe 75% lol

put me down as a maybe 75% lol

what 25% of you isnt coming?

If we get enough numbers I may be able to sort out a rolling road for the day (extra charge more than likely) and also an area away from the show cars for burnouts to keep those petrol heads of you satisfied.

 

The other quistion is what comps should we have?

 

Best overall car at show (combination of results from below)

Best paint job.

Best engine bay.

Best interior.

Loudest sound system.

 

There will be seperate trophys for BHP Torque and burnout if we get enough interest in these events.

 

 

 

Darrell,

 

Might be nice to have a most improved Zed! give some of the ppl that have built their zed up during the year.

 

Also it would be great if you could pm me all the details about this and the groundss you have, just for my records, so in future when planning meets i have some idea of the locations that we can use.

 

Cheers Mate

If my Z is running I will try my best to be there, not the comp, just to attend. :-).

 

Will there be a reminder nearer the day?

OK buddy not a problem. Come along anyway even if the Z is not up and running.

 

I will try to send reminders nearer the day but I am hoping to have so many people signed up by then that it will take too long. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

 

Darrell

Cheers, if its not running by then I will kick myself, or someone anyway....

OK it's getting to the stage where I need to sort things out about this. If I don't get a few more cars involved then it won't be worth doing. I am trying to keep it only to this forum so as to make it a forum show. I realise it isn't in the best location for a lot of people but if I don't get more cars involved then I will have to cancel it.

 

Darrell

My car is not ready yet, and so I cant commit. Sorry.

Thats OK mate. At least you have commited one way or the other ish.

 

Darrell
