Anything and anyone can run this year. We haven't decided on prices yet 'cos there is the camping/day after ticket issue to sort out with Pod, but it'll be cheaper for members to run and camp than it will be for non members, by £25 or so

Ticket prices and details to be announced asap. For sale in the club shop soon after

**warpspeed** · 24-01-2009, 16:58

Cool i'm comin!!!! i can run my sunny, better bring a spare gearbox!

Mmm if i'm not working away that is!

**Rob@Backyardracing** · 11-02-2009, 22:39

Do members of the caravan club get there normal 15% discount for this event?

**stuTHC** · 23-02-2009, 13:35

We are putting a different price structure in place for this event this year. Last year we had about 5 different tickets for sale and it got a bit confusing. This year we are keeping it simple, and made it a LOT cheaper for members

It'll break down as-

Entry- Free for all.

Track time-
Non members- to be confirmed, probably £80.

This year the price to run on the strip for members will be on an advance price basis, the sooner you buy your ticket the cheaper it will be. A discount code system will be used for members, more info to follow shortly but prices will work out as-

from 1st March- 31st March- £50.
from 1st April-30th April- £55
from 1st May-22nd May- £60
on the day £65 (if they are not sold out)

Camping- to be confirmed (around £5 per person, maybe a bit more if we have to buy tickets for an event on the saturday like last year) - payable on the day.

Tickets for sale in the club shop from 1st March, get them early while they are cheap.

Rob, caravan club? wtf??

**Duncan Grier** · 23-02-2009, 22:18

I thought it was 110mph for lids??

Def 100mph and if you have a gay car like me withno roof going over 100mph you need arm straps or roof on lol

They do keep changing it so may be 100 now, i know last year it was 110 at some events i went....

Stu, yeah if your a member in the caravan club santa pod offer discount for weekend events + camping...

not like i do it or anything

**clee** · 23-03-2009, 17:47

I now have the tickets so will start posting them out to those who have ordered .
The members discount rate is still £30 off the listed price in the shop .You need to enter the POD discount code to receive this .This will be valid till 31/3/09
The discount amount will be £25 next month and £20 in May until the event .

**stuTHC** · 29-03-2009, 18:53

Only 2 days left to get your tickets for £50. From 1st April they will be £55 for unlimited runs.
A few tickets have sold already but not enough! Get 'em while they're cheap. I want us to be booking another 50 places ontop of the 50 we've booked already. 100 cars running will make it a really cracking day.
Come on folks, it's an exellent oppertunity for anyone who's always fancied a go at the 1/4 mile to have unlimited pressure free runs on the best strip in the UK. No worries if you fluff the start, or miss a gear, just go back and try again.
Some might be thinking, hmmm...£50 for unlimited runs, but i only want to do 3 or 4. Trust me, once you've done a few, and got the bug for knocking 0.1 secs off your best you'll be stripping your interior out and thinking unlimited runs are not enough!!

Im also sorting out with pod a more suitable camping area than last year, so we can have all the fun we want on Friday night

**James_Surridge G1 5 GTT** · 29-03-2009, 21:48

BOOKED!!!

**TommyB** · 02-04-2009, 09:04

**Bigfoot** · 02-04-2009, 09:05

Im not happy though, got the tickets, however got my mates wedding on the saturday so either will be camping then get up and leave early Saturday morning, or leave friday evening

**Nayls** · 02-04-2009, 10:10

If camping Friday night is the Saturday event free to watch?

**J8TRO** · 06-05-2009, 22:17

Can you pay for individual runs, or do you need to pay the £60 for unlimited runs if your only interested in doing 1 or 2 runs? Just wondered?

**D4WNO** · 06-05-2009, 22:24

Only one type of ticket I'm afraid

**J8TRO** · 06-05-2009, 22:29
