Guys and Girls,
I had a meeting the other night with a guy called Jason who is co-organising the BHP Performance show at Lydden on the 5th May. Some of you may be aware that the circuit is now run by Amy Doran (the daughter of a fairly well known rally cross driver). They have made a lot of changes to Lydden or the better. One of the key changes that they have made is to start off a show calendar. Being based in the South East, there are very few tracks that are available for us to use for shows etc (I appreciate that I am speaking with my RSOC hat on here).
Anyway, long story short, I have been approached by them to try and help out with their 40 years of the Escort tribute. They seem to think that there is a shortage of MK1 and II Escorts! We know that not to be the case here!
I am looking to guage a response from you on here to see who would be interested in turning up on the day. I appreciate that for some of you it is too far to travel, but that is always the case if you don't live centrally.
I will be getting forms from the organisers directly so that we can see which groups are from which areas.
Would you prefer to do a Rallye Sport Escorts stand or just be a part of the main 40yrs area?
I think that the 40yr part will be doing parade laps at lunch time etc where a club stand won't be able to.
Ticket prices will be about £5 per head or £10 per car (I can't remember which it is). Safe to say - Very Cheap.
It would be great if we could get some of our european bretherein to join us on the day also; especially cosidering it is 20 mins from Dover on the main A2. A nice easy run for them. I have found that we are always so welcome at the european shows, it would be great to offer some hospitality in return.
If you are interested and available, please let reply here and I will get things in motion.
I couldn't see that this had been posted elsewhere but if it has, someone please direct me!
