[Andy 308GTB]

2 weeks to one of the best meetings of the year (and a half sensible firework display to boot)

Worth getting along early to see the preparation that goes into some of the unlimited cars.
The Reliant Robin races were great fun last year.

Plenty of 'tin' booked in (correct terminology)

Hi Rob,
I can't find the thread at the moment but someone is busily preparing a Ferrari 400i for the 'Shakedown' meeting at the Arena, next March or so.
(The thread is on OvalChat but Google 'Ferrari Banger Racing' and you'll find some clips on You Tube)

Further on 'who to watch'...

Allan Trickett has an awesome reputation and ended up in a 3 or 4 (Midnight Runners) against 1 battle last year.
146 Allan Trickett Hornchurch Cadillac Coupe Deville

The forums are very excited that 'Retard Roy' will be putting in an appearance. Apparently he has a reputation for going in the opposite direction to the rest of the field...

I saw this list of your unlimited cars above.And all I can say is they are all awesome. theya re abundant in the automobile market. And everybody would like to choose them more ofte.but there are also some people who opted to choose the old ones like vintage cars. Actually guys, a grim portion of recent American history will be auctioned early next year. The hearse that carried the remains of JFK to the airport in 1963 will be sold to the person who bids the highest. Source of article: JFK hearse to go on auction block in January.This is exciting. Isn't it?
