    Camping isn't paid for on the gate, someone will come round in the evening and collect cash from everyone

    Make more?!? we have no interest in making money. Every event we attend costs the club money, we aim to break even on most tickets sales (but never do), and heavily subsidise big events like this and ND.

    It is costing the club £72.58 for every person that signs on, because as ive said too many times (so this is the last) we have paid just over £3500 for 50 places, so if we sell you, and 49 other people a place (and yes 1 run class as a place) for £5 the club losses £3250. Not really a healthy return is it fella?

    sorry dude, I didn't mean make money, but more like take more money to recoup costs. I see your point above. just a thought thats all.

    if you sold individual runs at £10 it would still make sense to me. Most people would think "sod that i can get unlimited for £50" but the others who wouldn't buy tickets because of not wanting to do loads of runs would stretch to a £10 or £20 for a couple of runs? maybe you should do a poll to gauge interest. I maybe I should shut my mouth, I imagine organising something like this is a real pain in the ass........never mind numpties like me making it more complicated.

    Good work

    Basically they are allowed 50 cars on the track and thats it. It doesn't matter if a car only does 1 run its still classed as one of the 50 cars.

    To be fair mate, if you went along to your usual RWYB/Fast Show/RetroShow/USC type santa pod event you pay £10 or £15 entry and £25 for 4 runs (at the most). So the £50 we (were) asking for a ticket is only £10 more, but you get as many runs as you like and zero queues. Okay we aint got the NUTS girls wandering around in fishnet tights, but on the flip side you dont have to look at loads of plastic/filler covered jap cars and pugs

    Same, unfortunately I can't convince Adam to let me take the Raider up the strip. I'll be there shaking my pom-poms instead

    I'll be bringing along all the RTOC camping essentials - Disposable BBQ, bright pink camping chair (thanks Adam), a frisbee and skittles vodka

    Got me a ticket to this, but just got my operation date through and its the week before. Do you think they will still let me go up the strip if my foot is in bandage ? Or if i bought the auto tank would there be a prob (its my left foot) ?

    Haha, as long as you have the necessary documentation, you can do as you please. Not sure anyone will want to run on the opposite side of the track to you though

    Just need to fill the tank & throw me stuff in the back of the van & im ready to roll. If i get chance i might up the boost a bit, If we actually get a dry night as it seems to rain every time i get ready to do some tuning.
