Hi Ben,
How many are you limiting to? How many runs will we get? Just clearing it with the missus
Do I get a discount for being booked onto RoR as well

Good question - ceiling reached is c.50 vehicles in the morning and afternoon sessions. Realistically the flash to bang of each launch will be around 120-180 seconds. The cars go off in pairs (runway is very wide) so we're working on the assumption of:
2 x cars every 2-3 minutes launched = 40-60/hr.
Some attendees will want to get in as many as they can, others less frequently. There will be ample opportunity to get many runs though for all.
Discounts - ha! Good try, sadly not! We'll spend it wisely though, you can trust MM to make sure it heads directly at those beneficiaries who are hardest to reach...

Well, you don't ask, you don't get
I know MM do great work, it's all good!
Looks like he got the last ticket We went on the morning session and have to say that, as you'd expect from an MM organised event, it was mega.
There was some awesome machinery present and although our s/charged Eunos was out-classed/out-dragged by most others we had an incredible time.
Where else could you see a Bentley GT (as in proper GT racer) pitched up against a shopping trolley Toyota Corolla but fitted with a GT 4 engine?
Congrats to all at MM, organisers, marshals et al for running one of the best events of the year.
I'm sure you've spawned a classic and trust your founding participants will have first refusal next time?
Pics and times on MM facebook under gallery/pictures - expect to be impressed. Perhaps someone else can link - Ludditism rules...
Cheers, Pewe.

I totally echo these sentiments. Very well organised and a lovely array of superb cars. I cannot wait for the other runs to be posted, as I am sure I perfected my launch control 😀 GThere was some awesome machinery present and although our s/charged Eunos was out-classed/out-dragged by most others we had an incredible time.
