I can't find any mention of noise restrictions... and would a TVR be welcome?

Everybody is welcome to run but you must have an exhaust system, no open manifolds. You can use slicks, or if don't want to race, go in the show& shine or have a club stand.

Hi,

Sounds good - so there's no noise restriction (i.e. to a certain decibel) other than having an exhaust system?

Do you have to pre-book or can you turn up on the day?

Is there likely to be other TVRs in attendance or is this mainly aimed at the modified crowd?

Thats right v8 just needs a exhaust system to keep the village and church service happy.

pre reg on the site for updates but you can just turn up.

I hope a few TVR'S turn up, everybody is welcome whatever you drive or ride.

On the site it says drivers of open-topped cars need a helmet - mine is convertible but with a roll bar. Do I need a helmet?

Can they be hired on the day?

Oh, also, is there a petrol station nearby? Does it have super unleaded / VPower (Shell)?

Yes you have to wear a helmet and we can provide one.

There is a BP station in Honiton, not sure about shell.

I so want to go to this, I haven't had a chance to test my CBR1000-powered seven at full chat yet and I look forward to trying her out against some real rice-burners...

I'd love to go but I'm off to Le Mans.

Is this going to be a regular thing?
