jack frost stages 13th Jan- Croft

[blot]

2 6R4's entered & a guarantee that it'll be colder than siberia during a cold snap

[V Twenty]

I`ll be there with the usual crew of merry rally nobbers.


Surely the weather can`t be any worse than what we had on Saturday ...



can it?

Was actually quite mild and sunny last year

[phn]

I shall be driving up from Norfolk to see this!

Birthday treat for my son (5 years old) who wants to "see some rally cars" on his birthday! Good lad!

[CommanderJameson]

Can you just rock up on the day (to spectate) and pay on the gate? I might have a wander over and do some snapping!

[phn]

Think so - its £8 for adults I gather!

[CommanderJameson]

Good-oh! It says that the gate opens at 8.30 - what time do things get under way?

Croft have said they will provide some limited hard standing for parking but it will soon fill up and once full people will be directed into the field. There is not a lot that Croft can do when the rally route takes in most of the usual hard standing car parking areas, apart from maybe not allow spectators

You could say I have covered one or two events at Croft over the years

[1st_petrolhead]

Look forward to seeing the photos Geoff, don't forget the girls

Will not be making it the Jack Frost
