cutting a long story short im setting up a new event, basically a rolling start alternative to the quarter mile, which will be much better solution for our FWD cars...

I dont want to comercialise the event too much but just have a nice day out with loads of cool / fast cars, some music and a few stands etc

more details about my event can be found here : http://www.SpeedChallenge.co.uk

now im looking to hire somewhere, so if anyone has any suggestions or knows a decent place or can offer a hand i would be very greatful

Cheers

Wayne

They hold "VMax" events at Bruntingthorpe.

Same as what you're doing I guess, I think they're on VMax 17 or 18 now.

Cheers pov and vRSy , cocopos this is not technically a vmax event its slightly different and i want it to be more of an event for people to attend and not just people to go to, if that made any sense atall lol its too early
