Well you know Im always up for anything at York! Whos that moaning about York being miles away?
I did it 2 or 3 times this year and Im in the furthest corner of Essex - I always have to go up the night before - but its *definitely* worth it. Something like this would be a weekender I would have thought, especially for those coming from as far (or further) as me. The Saturday night out (as organised by Chavy) is bound to be top notch like last time, although we will need a bigger restaraunt! Its worth travelling a bit to make it to the big events. The Peugeot club never have trouble with their national day down at Stratford, it goes without a hitch every year, and I cant see why we cant do the same thing, were big enough now.
There is one slight problem though - money. If this was to go ahead first we need an idea of how many would be willing to come. Regardless of whether we invite RSC, which *personally* I would be quite happy to do or even RTOC, lets look at our target of 100 cars which I think we could manage. That would make each ticket £30. BTW forget the Pod, theyre disorganised.
Now to get 100 members to pay £30, you would have to have something else going on apart from just quarter miling. OK for the big days at York weve had what, 20 cars? But theyre dedicated quarter milers for the most part. To make it really kick off and get the numbers we need, I think something like the Peugeot National Day has got to be considered. ie 1/4 miling, show cars, trade stands etc, a chillout tent showing video from all the events weve done over the last year...
