[Scott Barton]

To those members that STILL need to make payment. Can you let me know either way if you still planning on attending this event.

You are holding up the ordering of the tickets. If you have no intention on going to this show please let myself or LeesaH know so that we can remove you from the list.

Thanks

All those people who had names on the list, i have not recieved your payment in time. You will now have to pay the gate price and you wont be able to park on the IMOC stand as there will be no spare stand passes.

We will be involved in running the track activities. Any IMOCers tracking?

Regardless, pop along and si hi if you get the chance. Jo will be on signon for drivers and I will probably be on the entrance to the pitlane

[Bender Unit]

Garrick, do you know what the deal is with transfering track time?

Cant make it and want to sell my track time, problem is they also still havent sent me my ticket. Just wondered if I can transfer it into someone elses name? Got a lad who wants to buy it.

You need to contact the event organisers (Japfest)

You have PM

[Anniemr2]

If anyone is doing tracktime, and catches up with me, I have press passes so will be doing some photography work track side.! Let me know your track times and I'll see if I can get over there and catch you going round. Not always poss cos if I'm outside in the club areas its a long trundle back to infield!

Offers there.

Annie

i got called in for work so was unable to make it.

and if i was one of the comitee here id be voicing my opion over the rally stage running and throwing dust over everyones car.

we had this at french car show last year, all nice a polished ready for gates opening and then the open out on the rally stage all day putting a layer of dust over the cars, i was not impressed to come back from signing on for track to find mine covered not after id spent nearly a week prepping it for the show!

While my car wasn't on the stand, the ones that were didn't look dusty to my eyes when we left, and we were at the nearest point to the rally stage. Not an issue AFAIK. It wasn't like it was *right* next to us.

[loudandproud205]

i feel the rain may have dampened it down a bit as the wind normally carries the dust well.

we was left with this




the owner was not impressed that his gorgeous shiny black s2000 now looked like it had been left in a sand storm

[Scott Barton]

That is shocking!

[ancient mariner]

to be fair,it wasn't an issue yesterday.

[Scott Barton]

Suppose it all depends on where the club stand was situated. From the pic, if the wind was blowing in another direction then everybody would have been affected.

we were probably as close to it as you could get
if they had stuck us any further away from the main attractions,
we would have needed transport
think they just said,"find the farest away corner,and shove the imoc lot there
as you said scott,we must have been lucky with the wind

[loudandproud205]

you were parked about 10 yards from where we were, but it had been a silly dry summer as well and the wind at rockingham is never that forgiving.

they presumed that because the site was called performance on track we wouldnt have any issue's.

like hell we all still take a little pride in our cars appearance even more so when you pay to attend a show.

who got the hard standing ground at the other end of the show ground as thats a really nice bit.

and great access to track

That was where the drift demos / taxis and retailers were...

I thought it was a top day personally, was abit hungover and gettin up at 5am doesnt do me any favours but still had a good day out.

I remember FCS and the dust but that wasnt an issue this time around, gave my car a wipe down when I got there and its still clean now...

The biggest 'problem' was being attacked by wasps! Lol
