I'm organising a Corvette display for the following event and if anyone would like to join us, in a Vette obviously, please let me know ASAP...

The fast car-tastic Supercar Family Funday returns in aid of The Children's Trust charity on 14th May for its 3rd year (previously known as the Dad's Day Out)

Hi Dale, Mark

If you have not already done so, can you please make sure you purchase your display entry eTicket from http://www.thechildrenstrust.org.uk/carclubdisplay... cost is £7 per car including driver and passenger. No entries accepted without one I'm afraid!

There will be a couple of pre-meets, one M25/M23 j7 and one just outside Guildford at the Ladymead retail park, more details to follow.

Looking forward to seeing you there. thumbup

Is this a static display or can we drive our cars on the airfield?

Static display I'm afraid...The track part of the event is massively oversubscribed and as this is the first time we're taking part officially we may have the possibility of one Vette taking part but that spot is already spoken for(and no, it's not me!)

Still fancy it or is that a bit of a deal breaker?

More fun things to do at Dads Day Out, especially for car clubs displaying...which of course means you guys.

The FDMC (Farnborough and District Motor Club) have chipped in to support us at Dads Day Out.

They will be setting up an Autosolo test course.

For those that don't know what it is, AutoSolo is a derivation of the famed Autotest, driving through cones on a pre arranged course against the clock.

Autosolo is a faster more fun version of that.

The guys at FDMC will set a time first thing in the morning and the trick will be to get as close to their time as possible so it's not about the fastest, just the most accurate.
Knocking cones over will mean a time penalty so you'll have to take that into account too.

All funds raised will go to charity but even so at £10 for 3 timed runs it's exceptionally good value for a very addictive challenge.

Slots will be allocated on the day on a first come, first served basis and they will be setting up on the overshoot section of the runway.

Because of this we have moved the static display area closer to that port of the runway so as to ease access both in and out of the display area so that you don't have to stay all day (as you wont be trapped by the Caterham drifting section which has now been moved to the previous display area.)

Remember the display tickets go offline at the end of TODAY and will not be available on the day so if you miss those and still want to come you'll have to buy normal adult entry passes at £8 per person on the gate (as opposed to £7 for the car and up to 4 people in advance via this link..

Some Cruise-in details are as follows;


Re: Cruise-in to the Supercar Funday

Dunsfold Aerodrome
Dunsfold Park
Stovlolds Hill
Cranleigh
Surrey
GU6 8TB


The organisers have also stated that they would like Car Clubs to be on site by 8.30am so my proposed cruise-in will be as follows; Meet at the BurgerKing on the Ladymead Retail Park just outside Guildford for around 7.45am to leave promptly at 8am for Dunsfold. …The BurgerKing will be open from 7am and serve their style of breakfast rolls, coffee and tea etc...

There is also an alternative proposal from Andrew (Surrey Rep) and that is as follows:

Setting off from Reigate high street at 07.30, travelling along the A25 towards Dorking.

Stopping at the Travelodge by the A24 Cock roundabout at 07.45.

Turning left (south) down the A24 towards Capel.

Then picking up the A29 at Beare green towards Ockley.

That meets the A281 which we will follow west, passing the Fox inn at 08.15.

Off the A281 onto the B3130, arriving at Dunsfold 08.30.



If possible please let me know if you will be joining us? If not I'll look forward to seeing you there?

Mark/Blue Thunder - I have also pm'ed you.
