The entry list is growing and I want to provide everyone with an opportunity to test their vehicle on an appropriate track. We have a quarter mile straight, a half mile straight, a 'road' circuit of almost a mile, a couple of tight circuits which can be configured as quarter mile or half mile laps suitablefor lower powered vehicles and a space which could be used for an 'autotest' type event.
Please drop me an email to john.cave10@btinternet.com and let me know what you will be bringing to the Electrathon and your prefered circuit type. All of the circuits will not be available for the whole weekend but I intend to plan a timetable which gives everyone a chance to get involved.
See you on the 25th

Hi Ed - we'll still be there at the weekend, but due to work commitments won't be setting off until 8am Saturday so expect to arrive around 1030am.

Looking foward to the weekend

Sadly going to have to pass on this one now, due to Grandchildren requiring birthday treats and its happened that its happening this Sunday.
Mind you Birthday treat is a ride around the area in a light aircraft and thus I MUST go to make sure he's OK

May be next year eh
