Venue: Shakespeare County Raceway, near Stratford-On-Avon Dates: Friday 14th thru Sunday 16th September 2007. Arguably the biggest drag racing/hot rod nostalgiafest in the UK, surely this year will be busier than ever given the almost total washout that was the Hot Rod Drags back in June. Expect loads of this:  Plenty of these:  Add together with live evening entertainment, trade stands, autojumble, and the chance to see me actually turn up to a show in my Oxford  , what could possibly go wrong? (Don't tempt fate). Anyone else up for it??  |

I went last year and it was a fantastic weekend. Camped about 10m from Honky Tonkin' which was nice when it started at about 8am every morning  Should be there again this year. |

I thought I read/heard somewhere that pre '72 production cars can run but now [after reading the rest of this thread...] I'm not sure if that is ''public'' or ''pro's''  |

It's a RWYB......but pre-'72 only I'm afraid. But you get to see the legendary Gasser Circus, Outlaw Anglias, Flathead Meltdown, The Wild Bunch, Outlaw Flat Fours.... |

I think the 'mark' of car has to be in production pre '72 ie you can run a '74 Mk1 Escort etc as they are a 60's car  Best give them a bell though to be 100% |

yay, I'm gonna have to go now ;D RR club stand? Dunno if there'd be enough interest for a 'stand' of any kind, it's not really that sort of do. You're welcome to come camp with us lot, though we may well make a huge 'ROD RUN VIRGIN' placard to put above your tent..... ;D |
