It was seriously cold & wet, ah yes I remember it well....
None of us managed to meet up because (1st time in living memory) there was no PS2 tent, which was the agreed meet point.

Will be there,as per. Mrs T & I have part of a trade stand this year.

Its wasn't that cold and the wet did make for some interesting track action. Was quite funny watching Starlets overtake pulsars and R33 GTR's. Its quite a small show so theres not alot of trade stuff, but the track action is worth it. I think theres was a bit of everything on the track Datsun 240's to Driftworks, overall to A good show to start the year off.

I'll be there with both cars. We need to do a better job of meeting up this year.

Hope the weather is better also.

The weather did spoil last year.

I parked with the scoobs.

Year before was better.

I can't be bothered to travel and sit in the terrible traffic jam this year.

If we left at a reasonable time like I sugested, we would have missed the traffic Last year was probably the worst of all the Japfests I've been to. No offence to the clubs involved, but I really think they need to limit the amount of scoobies. If Nicola hadn't parked right up near the top of them, it would have taken ages to find her car

I will be going down again this year and hopefully have Red Betty on track if she survives the IMOC Anglesey days

I go most years, and apart from the increasing number of Max Power boys, it is normally a good event (last year was stupid, rain on its own - not a problem, but the wind which took out most of the club gazebos was really a bit much) I'll be going this year if I've got the car running by then!
